I think that but for a different reason. A mentally unstable 19 year old and an alcoholic pill popper are not going to be able to handle taking care of a baby. Either they neglect the hell out of it or they beat it half to death.
I know this is optimistic but I've seen motherhood change women. Will it change Faith? Probably not, however I have seem self indulgent whores have a kid and turn their lives around, even if it is a purely uphill struggle. The bond of child and mother is an intense one.
Of course what is more common is self centered whore moms dump the kid with grandma and convince themselves "I need ME time" and slowly start seeing escaping from their child as the ultimate reward slowly building a strange resentment but also pretending they give a shit about the kid. Grandma Ralph will be 100% raising that kid because Faith will use her anxiety as an excuse to run away from the bad parts of parenting while accepting all the glory and praise for the good parts. This is the kind of girl who takes pics and posts everyday with their child saying #blessed to give the illusion she lives her life for her kid while 3 times a week she will post that she is having a girls night.
I think CPS is 100% gonna be the outcome just from the drug use and drinking alone, not even touching on the controversial shit Ralph says on his show for his audience. But say somehow Ralph doesn't have the child taken away, I think neglect and possible death will be a likely outcome. Ralph and Faith are the kind of people who will dump responsibility on someone else and if that person fucks up they take solice in saying well at least it isn't my fault. How many miscommunications about who is watching the kid do you think they will have? How many times do you think Faith will be too fucked up to take care of their kid while Ralph screams at "muh haterz" on air?
But this should be scariest of all for Ralph, say Faith somehow overcomes her self centered nature. Say she goes totally sober and stops running away when shit hits the fan. Say she pulls that 180 that is possible even if not likely. Will Faith see the way Ralph lives his life as the way she wants to raise her child? We'll get a Nora situation again. When the e-fame luster goes away she will see Ralph for what he is, won't be drugged up enough to ignore it, resent him for the situations he has put her and her child in, and like Nora see no realistic future and GTFO.
And when that happens, have fun with child support Ralph. This also is a no win. Pay child support = cucked out of money. Don't pay child support = you are a dead beat dad. Fight for custody = Savings eaten up to still lose your kid.
For what it's worth, I think Ralph would wait until the child is at least kindergarden age to begin beating it so I don't think he'll beat it to death.
