I've got to share something that I witnessed when I went to visit my friend the other night at their brother's house. Let me give you a little background on the brother. He was a WAH who left his W and two teenage daughters for OW. This has been over a year ago. They got a divorce and he is now living with OW. I was a little hesitant going over to their house, knowing that they put someone through the pain I went through, but I hadn't seen this friend in a while and she was visiting from out of town.
Well, the whole time I was there the WAH was on the phone yelling at his daughter. He had taken her car away from her because she never comes to visit him. He was in another part of the yard, but we could still hear him yelling. The OW was talking about his daughters and how he spoiled them, etc. and it was about time he did something to them. When he got back he started fussing about how ungrateful they both were. He said he told D that he wasn't going to talk to her about this on the phone they would have a face to face convo on Friday. He said he told her he would whip if he had to. She told him I'm 17 you can't do that, he said yes I can. He then had the nerve to talk about his Ex W and how she is always over her boyfriend's house and not watching out for the girl. He referred to her as their da*n momma. Amazing that he doesn't see this wouldn't be happened if he hadn't found a girlfriend while still married to their mother! I'm sure the girls don't care to be around the woman that played a big role in the breakup of their parent's marriage. Yes, ultimately it was their father's decision, but it's hard for children to see this. This whole time my friend is looking at me. She could tell this was upsetting me and said let's go in the house. I said no, I really need to go. Well, luckily my youngest DD called and said she was home from church youth group and wanted me to bring her something to eat.
I know this is long, but it made me so sad to see how torn apart this family was because their husband/father chose OW over his family. Sad isn't it?
