Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[P17]

I don't know where he went...probably to OW! I was surprised that he left since he is so attached to S!

You are surely winding me up? He didn't go to work, a fire, or something just as important? He went back to OW? You are effing kidding me?

So, his son is ill. Ill enough to have to be taken to hospital? Yeah? And he ... errr ... decides that it's not that serious, as of course he is a Doctor and leaves?

I'm sorry Newmama. If my daughter was ill. Even if it was a minor 'ear infection' (which is what you thought it was at the time) I'd have stayed to make sure he was okay.

I remember one time that D's mum called me and told me D was in hospital and I went up the wall as she left it until after everything had been done. I was all set for driving 300 miles to make sure I could be with her when she woke up (she had split her head falling on a plant pot). THAT'S what a dad does. F me.

And I am guessing that he was talking to me because of guilt for S? Is that right?

LOL ... Yeah. Guilt. Guilt. Guilt. As you said.

I actually did have a lot of time for you WH. I thought maybe he was just confused but I've suddenly realised, he is slightly more than that and needs a kick up the backside.

Really. Kids come first First. First. End of story. When he grows up and stops playing Call Of Duty with OW and realises that then maybe he can be a good dad and influential person in S's life.

Truly sickened newmama. Truly.
