Jail break

He realized even his most heartfelt pleas would not alter our stand, so Edward sought desperate measures and called his dad.  My ex.  There are really not enough pages, time or desire to delve into that one.  He, my ex, would have the opportunity to be his son's hero.  See, they had a fractured relationship because at the beginning of our divorce he lived with his father for a year.  During this time, Edward felt neglected and abused...verbally.  He also got abused once physically which led to a police report and CPS investigation.  His dad, wanting to be the hero, wants me to financially support his cape and magic powers.  I explained we were not bailing him out and why...and tried to explain why my paying for HIM to bail him out was the same as me bailing him out.  Couldn't I put up the collateral?  Um, no.   I suggested that bailing him out wasn't helping him, but enabling him; but the urge to be hero is strong and I get it...he wanted a relationship again with his son.  So he bailed him out...with conditions.  With him, there are ALWAYS conditions.  Edward would move in with him.  He cut Edward's hair, changed Edward's wardrobe, got Edward a car, showed him off showing what a great dad he was.  Disneyland dad to the rescue.
