Not a good combination in my eyes. My ex just e-mailed me telling me that my father whom I have not talked to in about 5 years was flying down to visit him. And my father wonders why he is no longer my dad and just a father. Well that is just ONE reason. I mean come on now. who the heck visits there daughters EX husband?noway


Meh whatever.

Well see that I can sorta understand. But i do not think I can ever understand keeping communication with somebody your daughter left because of abuse.

I mean is a father NOT supposed to be there for their child? To protect them and support them?

Just seems like a sort of a betrayal to me....but then, you and I have discussed this a little bit in the past, and I have some idea of what both of them are like. And you deserve better in both instances.

You know this reminds me of my best friend who turned into an addict. She had her children taken away and her mother could have taken the child but was too busy going off to ARIZONA every 4 months!!! grumble Instead the child was in foster care for 7 years!!!explode

Thing is I do not even understand why it bothers me, or even why my decided it was a good idea to even tell me. It is more then the communication that they have. The list could go on why I do not talk to my father. I refuse to talk to my ex for obvious reasons. In my eyes I just can not see this situation as right.

I am not wanting perfection, just support, caring and understanding.
