Renee, it sounds like you have had a lot of troubles in your life, I can relate, perhaps not in the same ways, but this is my 2nd go-around with this. My father walked off and left us when I was young and my mother had to raise us. Needless to say he offered no support financial or otherwise and we had it very rough. My father was in his own world doing what he wanted and to hell with the rest of us. Fast forward to the present day, I have NOTHING to do with him, nor will I in the future. He will call from time to time, but he does all the talking, I am not interested in what he does or doesn't do. I haven't seen him in years, nor will I, even when he dies. I have closed that chapter of my life totally. He recently remarried and asked me to come and stand-up with him. LOL Well, needless to say I refused the "honor" and I certainly didn't go. In fact, I have asked him to not call me anymore that I had nothing to say to him, but he keeps calling from time to time. As for my XW, she always wanted kids and couldn't have any. My sister died a few years ago and had 2 little kids, she wouldn't shut up until I took them in court from thier father, who was a piece of garbage, anyway 2 years into it she told me she didn't want them anymore and walked off. I have been raising them alone while she lives it up. Her family and I were very close, or so I thought, but they upheld her all the way. I also have no desire to talk to them, I closed that chapter in my life as well. I also told my XW that she made her choices and she will have to live with them, and if it didn't work out, she stands alone. Anyway, that's my spill.
