Yep - agreed! It's hard to think he was an involved Dad for all those years - (Ryan was 23 when his dad left) then just totally dropped the ball. I have to say, though, that I was the hospital parent. We did not agree on how to care for Ryan and I was the positive one so I told him I was taking over. Ry's paediatrician chewed him out at one point for not helping out or getting involved more - so I guess it goes back a long way.

If anything should happen to Ryan - he would blame me and everyone else involved. Yet he and OW do not a thing to help.

Oh well - just venting away here today. He is in Russia. I am relieved actually.

Recently he told Ryan's nurse (she had take Ry to visit) that he would like to take him to the zoo and wondered who would pay for that. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? He wouldn't pay to take his kid to the zoo once in 11 years when he can go on exotic cruises and get a new BMW???

Also he told her that maybe he and OW could take Ry overnight in a hotel sometime. Then OW balked and said "I'm not sure we could handle that". And my nurse reminded him that Ryan sleeps in a hospital bed, uses lifts etc.

I often wonder what planet he came from. He is certainly not from my world.
