In the email I first sent asking for his help, I signed it saying " i hope you are well".
And I meant it cause I had this odd feeling maybe he wasn't. WEll ok WE ALL KNOW MLCER'S AREN'T OK, but something different.
Well D10 got home today and told me he bumped his head pretty hard at work Monday.
Perhaps it was a hard enough knock to shake a little sense back into him so he figured he better write back to me.
I can always wish.
Tonight he's going to the movies with D13. I had a good talk with D13 yesterday and she explained to me how she's very irritated and frustrated with her Dad and why. I explained to her again that she really needs to talk to him about that, and her Dad needs help with these things, because he really doesn't know what to do. I told her they could end up being really good friends if she let him in a bit and share important things with him. D13 said she is finally ready to try and reach out a bit.
D13 has a friend at school. His mother is engaged to OW's son. D13 found out that his mother and OW's son seem to be very emotionally and verbally abusive to her friend, which is a boy. I've seen this kid, and he's such a sweet kid and good kid. I told her she needs to talk to her Dad about this and see what he thinks, given he knows who this is since it's OW'S SON!!
Im sorry but when a parent tells their child " I only keep you and your sister around for the child support from your father".... there needs to be A HANGING.
Im a parent. I have two very independent and at times strong willed girls. I do have to keep them in check by being very firm and calling them on their antics. But to speak to a child like they're an object only to suit a parents needs is abuse.
