  Sometimes, we’re assholes doing asshole things.

  But sometimes, juust sometimes, we become the Universe’s instruments for slapping some sense into others.

    I cannot tell the difference between this picture and a regular baby.

      Compare side by side and look at the upper lip, usually the biggest tell

    The day I realized that every single one on my dad’s side of the family likely had FAS so much shit clicked into place, I kid you not.

      it’s actually “hare lip,” derogatory term for people with cleft palate, as their mouths were compared to the split lip of rabbits

  Nah. Dude is not the reason for a divorce. The mother is. She chose to indulge in alcohol while pregnant. It’s her fault.

    And probably the husband’s fault as well if he knew it was going on and did nothing to stop it. They should both go sober until the baby is born.

      If the dad already knew about it, why would he get a divorce the moment his child finds out? Makes no sense, he didn’t know

      Sounds like a solid move heading into parenthood as a couple.

  I played ice hockey with a young bloke who had FAS and he was an absolute mess. Zero impulse control, low intelligence and addicted to anything he could get his hands on.

  Some of his behaviour would have earned another person a beating but everyone knew and tried… correcting his behaviour a bit more gently.

  His dad was clearly making an effort but it was ruining both their lives and he had divorced.

  Young bloke ended up offing himself.

  On an equally depressing note, once you know what to look for you see FAS fairly regularly in porn.

      From Wikipedia, though it is mentioned only 10% of People with FAS have these characteristics.

    Had a friend in high school who had an adopted sibling with FAS. Her parents were great people and provided him with opportunities in life that he never would have had otherwise.

    But the real hero was that friend, she was his eyes, ears and guardian angel all in one. Nobody fucked with this kid because she was the embodiment of “not the one”
