It's been a while. Not really in the right frame of mind to catch up on my sitch and to be honest, it has consumed me much less lately. That is a sign of progress.
This lonely Christmas morning--first Christmas morning I woke up without my children under the same roof--I can't help but be drawn back to the boards.
I wanted to see how far I have come so I read through my very first thread. The washing machine issue that I was dealing with during the time of first BD struck a chord. That stupid washing machine. My aunt and uncle ended up buying us a brand new one. Guess what--when I finally got to move my things out of the marital home a few months ago, I mentioned to him that he could keep the washing machine because I have one in my new place. And he told me it was broken anyway. 3 years and it is already broken? It was a brand new machine. He doesn't take care of anything. He hated that my family helped us with that sitch--he is the one who ended up benifitting the most from it. And he broke it.
It is also funny that he blamed me for the last broken washing machine because he said I overload. That machine lasted us 7 years not as long as I'd expect, but certainly a longer life then 3 years. That wasn't the only broken item in the house. The chairs to my grandmothers dining room set were broken. Kids admitted to being the ones who broke them--but he never bothered to fix them. Just locked them in my bedroom.
He also got rid of a lot of the kids old toys without telling them or me. I know that stuff probably wasn't considered marital property, but it broke my heart when my daughter was reminiscing about her American Girl Dolls and said she has no idea what happened to them. I told her to ask him--but I know they weren't there when I was able to finally get my things. He (and OW) pretty much packed up the whole house for me, but he obviously got rid of a lot of things because even the attic was sparse.
He has no respect for property especially when it belongs to someone else or given to him from someone. Good riddance.
