My 9 year old comes today with a story of a Christian man named Mark. Mark left his wife and got a girlfriend. The girlfriend goes up to the wife and says in a–for lack of a better term–witch voice, says, “He is mine now, you are never ever ever getting him back again.” and to that the wife says, “Oh, okay, want to go get coffee?” to which the girlfriend replies, “Uhhh ok…” and Mark goes back to his wife, the end.

After a week of the ex-h being off the grid (I figured out where he was at based on my sleuthing) tonight he “asks” me if it’s okay that he takes our daughter to his girlfriend’s house 5 states away for Christmas. We have 4 kids together, but he only wants to take the oldest because he “has one free ticket”. I cannot even begin to explain how infuriating this is to me. First of all, he has a 10 year old son that he promised to take to a Russell Wilson Meet and Greet (oops, escaped his memory) forgot middle son’s 12th birthday (It’s at an odd time of the year) and has blatantly ignored all of oldest son’s messages, texts and emails (no explanation necessary.)

 

 

He turned 11. It was nice for him to get a Facebook canned “Happy B’day” late in the day after 14 other people had already alerted you to his birthday. You’d think after 11 years of being his father you’d put a little more effort, but no. A couple of weeks and several promises later you still haven’t acknowledged his ELEVENTH BIRTHDAY. It pains me to sit back and watch your already shaky relationship slowly crumble into nonexistence. So, in case you were wondering, yes, he’s 11 now. Yes, he knows you basically forgot his birthday. Yes, he knows you’re nonchalantly sweeping it under the rug of your “super busy life”. Just don’t be shocked when he purposefully “forgets” YOU.
