Like most "viral" bullshit. There are layers to this. It sounds like she is a absent mother most of the time and likes to go out a lot. I can't call total bullshit because I don't know them or their story but it usually takes a LOT to get a court to agree to a father being the primary custody adult. I know because a friend and former coworker had to fight his insane horrible ex for close to 4 years to get custody of his son. (She would leave him home alone at 6-7 years old for a weekend and $20 to order a pizza. The kid is on the spectrum and has no idea how to order pizza and would be to anxious/shy to do it even if he did). He had to prove this by having a friends/family or himself drive the 3 hours to the city she lived in to get proof and had to prove it multiple times. Same with showing that she would ignore/skip doctor appointments that the kid needed on a regular basis.

Elizabeth Teckenbrock, 29, from Tampa, Florida, shared a clip on TikTok to show the difficulty of being a single parent and it has been viewed more than 45 million times. But her ex-husband Andrew Cormier, 37, made a series of bombshell claims in response to her video and said he is in full custody of their two young girls, she barely sees them and 'goes out all the time'.
