Sarge was away representing the good old US of A on Father's Day.
Not representing good old Fathers. And not by choice.

Addie's Mom contacted him at Camp Shelby for money for Addie to go to Princess Camp.
I thin she has a very different idea of what Princesses go through then the reality. Scrutiny? Negative press? Media obsession with every lb you gain or lose? Difficulty meeting a man who will be able to deal with the fact that you have the money and the intense media gaze and therefore you and your family have to wear the trousers?

Anyway.
Bear in mind Addie isn't allowed to call Sarge "Dad" any more as it complicates things in Mum's new life.
Okay, I only hear one side of it. But the side I hear is very sad.
And Sarge is tenacious. He's not given up on a child yet. Which is right and proper, but not always the way things work out when parents split.
