I am sorry again Alison but once again you are expecting your WAW h to be the man you love.
From reading your posts I sometimes get the feeling that the being ignored drives you to interact with him in anyway you can usually about the kids so you get a response.
This hurts you time and time again and puts you back into a place filled with pain and hurt.
I hate you do this to yourself after all this time. You deserve so much more than this and yet I feel you think you don't at times.
I am sorry if I am saying the wrong thing but this is a gentle 2x4.
Maybe your d can ask about help for uni for herself. He takes everything you say the wrong way and throws it back in your face.
He is selfish and for now cares nothing for your feelings or shows any desire to help you co parent. That will be his loss.

You are not an idiot and you certainly don't deserve to be treated like this.
Maybe a little foolish to expect "anything" from this man right now. That is understandable when you love a person but this is not your husband now.
Do take care of you, don't let him pull you down.
(((hugs))))
