Still Smiling

[BklynMom]

I am really mad at ex-h and his inability to be a parent.

My ex sees his kids 4 days a month even though I have tried to leave the door open for him to see them more often.

This weekend was his weekend. On Friday i told him d6 has missed school and she was very sick with fever etc. he immediately suggests he skip the whole weekend. I say lets play it by ear and see how she feels.

Today she was much better, so he planned to spend the afternoon with the girls. In the end he spent 2 hrs!! With them 2 hrs. It's so sad I want to cry.

If he offered any ideas to spend more time with them I would allow it.

Maybe watch a movie with the girls here, or just take d4 for a little while or switch weekends or ... There are so many other scenarios. Instead he finds a way to spend as little time as possible with them.

It makes me want to cry for my girls. He is such a ba$tard. How dare he treat them like this.

Also of course the pick up for the 2hrs was awful. Cause they cant stand his coldness and he totally doesn't know how to deal with them.

I feel like my kids are being abused, by having a non existant dad.
