MB, I got a bday gift for the STBX (at that time) and offered to spend his bday with kid and him. The assh@)÷× that he was, he bumped us off when we couldn't fit into his and the TP'S schedule. He promised to call kid later in the day but he was probably too busy with the TP and forgot about his promise.
Fast forward a few months later to my bday. Kid had an impt event on that day and first the X said he would reschedule his activities. By this time, I was smart enough not to tell kid anything so that she wouldn't be disappointed. X called last minute to say that he had work. I found out later that he wasnt where he was supposed to be. The next day, kid and I met him and the TP in his car.
Poor kid is scarred for life. Kid calls the TP a baitch - courtesy of my mum, not me.
Anyways, back to how I am going to spend the hols. Will be spending Christmas with my family. No gifts for the X. But I will still be giving my (X?) niece and nephew gifts.
Was debating if I should put up a Christmas tree. Will have to clear a space in my apartment for a small one.
I wish I could sleep and wake up when kid is all grown up and has her own family and I am surrounded by my grandchildren...

You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
