More frightening tales from the dating front
As I’ve often said, dating a single mother makes someone responsible for two hearts, if not three: the mother’s, the child’s (and the biological father’s).
Life requires a certain leap of faith to get out of bed every morning… a certain forced optimism and blindness that quiets the fears that runaway busses, miscreants, or dumb luck will ruin your day or your life. Dating can’t afford the luxury of blind trust, as one man in Seattle has proven. He has been charged with killing a child to collect the insurance money. And it doesn’t seem to be the first time he’s tried this.
His past shows a clear pattern of preying on single mothers and their children:
Investigators say Zellmer has a history of dating single mothers, urging them to take out insurance policies and harming their young children, including burning the hands of one and giving another an overheated sippy cup that left blisters on her lips. He has not been charged in those incidents.
I just don’t know what to say, except that I’m grateful these sorts of men are the exception, not the rule.
