Thanks Kat. It would have been, but of course...DAFT had to be a total douchebag and screw it up.
He took the day off so he could go to DD Halloween parade at school and then go and get estimates on his car. He calls me at about 3:45 from the cardroom and tells me that he wants to come Trick or Treating with us and wants to know what time we are going to leave. So I let him know that we would be leaving about 6:30 and he tells me he will be here. So 6:30 rolls around and hes a no show...I call him and he says that he will just come and find us. So an hour or so later I call him again to see if hes left yet...nope, but hes going to. So another hour goes by and I call him again and he wants to know how much longer she is going to be out. So I tell him that she is almost done and that by the time he gets here she will be done. He had also said he was going to take DS to a movie while we trick or treated...he told my son this too. As of this post at 9:17 my time, he still sits at the cardroom too busy gambling to come and spend 2 F&*#in' hours with his kids. So I sent him a "truth dart text"
"I know it probably doesn't matter, but if choosing gambling over your kids doesn't indicate you need help, I don't know what does. Please tell me you didn't tell DS about the move..." No reply. An hour later I sent "If you happen to ever find that guy I married and had kids with, tell him I miss him." Stupid, but I'm mad. Thank God I didn't tell DD that he planned on coming with us, but she asked when it was over..."Why didn't Daddy come over and see me trick or treat?" It tears my F&#$ing heart out that she puts up with his total lack of interest and abandonment of her and still wants him. He called them from the bathroom of the cardroom and said goodnight, but didn't talk to me. So I called him back and just asked him if he was proud of his actions. I asked him if he planned on doing a better job by the Trolls kid and if she was fool enough to believe that it would be any different. It didn't do much good, but it made me feel better to make him feel guilty for being a total dick and waste of oxygen.
I'm more sad than anything. All this does is reinforce my ambivalence about whether or not I even want to bother trying to put this back together.
So now hes managed to ruin 2 Halloweens in a row...niiiice. ASS!!!! (sorry to the mods)
