The rollercoster that never stops

[Karma12]

So today I saw my H for the first time since Jan 1. My SD called me while I was at work and asked to se me. I to,d her I was working and won't be home until 730pm. She said it was ok with her Dad for her to come over and he would pick her up later. It was a school night for her so I was surprised that he was ok with her being out so late.

I picked her up after work and she was home alone. He was apparently in meetings?! She was hungry and had not had dinner yet. I ordered dinner for her and we sat chatting. She told me she was disappointed that her Dad was dating. She said she was waiting for her Dad to come home one day this week and fell asleep. She woke up when the garage door opened at 630 am. He was just getting home. What parent leaves their child home all night alone!? This is the man that fought to have custody! I was so disgusted. I told Sd it is not ok for you to be home alone overnight. If it happens again call me and I will come get you. She feels neglected and not love able because she doesn't understand why her life is so different from her friends. It breaks my heart. I told her that her Dad does love her but is not behaving in a way a parent should. I told her she is loved and I will personally kick is a$$ if he leaves her overnight alone again. Grrrrrrrr! This MLC bs is so wrong!

He finally showed up at my place to get her at 10.15pm. He was chatty and wanted to stay. She was exhausted. I was friendly but not overly. He hugged me hello and goodbye and in the past I would have been so happy. Tonight I did the Half hug pat on the back. Lol.

I really feel detached. I have lost so much respect for this man.
