"Robert, too. He jerks everyone around and it's all about him. First it was his money he was protecting. Now it's his poor privileged wounded heart. Is he kidding? Even Ana finally knew better."

Lol, what? Robert has made it pretty clear that he felt pressured by his family to 'protect' his money. We already know he left Callie's mom because he was pressured to do so, it's totally in-character. And he dropped that point of contention in this episode as it became clear he wanted a continuing relationship with Callie, in whatever way he could manage (college fund, etc.).
And he's not protecting his 'privileged heart'. He JUST FOUND OUT he had a daughter with his old, dead flame. As Rita says, Callie's easy to love. He clearly loves and dotes on Sophia - why is it unreasonable that he would want a relationship with her, and that signing ABANDONMENT papers would be hard for him? Doubly hard now that he has heard her claim him as her father in front of her family and all his friends?
And finally, either you think bio parents should be responsible for their kids, or you don't. Why are you bringing Ana into this? Ana failed her children over and over again, and now wants to try to repair their relationship. You say this is a good thing (I agree). Robert didn't even know Callie existed, and wants to create a relationship with her, and you say this is a bad thing? Make up your mind.
I understand why Callie lost her shit - she was promised one thing, and had it yanked away (again!). But Robert has done what he clearly considers to be one of the hardest things he's done in his life, and is being asked to do it again, after hearing that heartrending speech? Give him a break, people.
