The breakup was brutal, leaving you with nothing but half your joint bank account and a broken heart. You had not spoken to your ex for three years, so when they suddenly showed up on your doorstep with a small child in tow, it came as a massive shock.

"This is Xiang," your ex said, handing the two-and-a-half-year-old to you before disappearing just as quickly as they'd arrived. "he's yours. Take care of him.”

You were left standing there, stunned and overwhelmed, holding a stressed-out toddler who was forced to accept you as his new guardian, a complete stranger. You had no idea how to care for a child, and the thought of raising a child in this unstable environment filled you with dread and doubt.

What a chaotic and unexpected turn of events. You had no idea how to handle this situation.
