Yeah G, don't they! Newmama, I totally relate. I don't think you can turn off the "love" switch, just cos they did. But we need to ask why we still love/idolise guys that did this to us !!!
Okay, update.
I was expecting an email, not snail mail, but snail mail is what I got.
Not addressed to me, but our daughter. It's a kind of love letter to her... really weird. No mention of Reality, just how much he loves her with a lot of emphaisis on 'my baby', 'my daughter', 'my darling'...how his heart is heavy because he is crossng seas and continents and how he will miss her terribly but there is joy in his tears because he is her father and she is in this world.
Holy F.
He says this is the first of more letters to come.
Sorry, but I am not going to read this crud for the next 18 years (or until she can read).
I did rate a mention as a "wonderful mum who will love and care for her" and how he knows she is the source of MY greatest joy.
Okay, too weird basket for me.
He needs to journal this, or talk to a psychiatrist!
