Quote: started feeling really resentful towards him. He's out having a great time partying with his friends and meanwhile I spent my evening driving daughter to her activities, cleaning house, laundry, etc. It just feels like he dumped me and now he gets to live like a swinging single and I get to take care of all the responsibilities with little help from him.
DITTO, DITTO, DITTO!!! This is precisely how I feel. H gets to come visit when he wants to and spends the rest of his "free time" doing anything he wants. They go out, do things only for themselves without a thought as to what we have to do on a regular basis. I know they have to work and I truly do appreciate the fact that I can stay home with the kids because of that. But it would be nice if they would take SOME responsibility in parenting too. I guess that is hard not living here but my H doesn't even call the kids on a regualar basis.
I know it's hard but everyone says let them go do whatever it is they need to do to make it through this. Hopefully he will realize that although it is fun going out with friends that something is missing in his life and that something is you and D7. And that you are fun too.
Keep moving forward, you're doing great. I know you give and get lots of hugs from your D. Shower her and yourself with all your love. It will get better eventually.
It's okay to be whiny sometimes. You can come here and whine, we'll listen.
