Ok, so I'm married with 5 kids. His, mine and ours, but most often referred to as the brats. I have 3 from a previous marriage and the sperm donor that helped create those wonderful young people is the reason that I have finally decided to make a journal entry.
I know there are many people out there who do not qualify for the title 'parent', and truth be told, my ex probably isn't as bad as alot of them, but I'll be damned if I can find a reason to give him even that little tiniest bit of grace. Right now, he is low man on the totem pole.
My (I refuse to give him credit and call her 'ours') oldest daughter graduates this year. She's bright and beautiful and has a wonderful future ahead of her. It's a shame she'll have to get there without his help. Her father has bluntly told me that he will not be helping to pay for her pictures, ring, invitations, party, prom things...or anything else that she needs. " You get $500.00 a month in child support for all three of them, and I've got another kid over here that needs me"
Yep folks...I picked a real winner, didn't I???
I'm ranting here, because I refuse to talk trash about him at home where the kids might hear. I figure, they have a step-father that loves them and we do what we can for them, they'll eventually figure out the ugly truth for themselves.
Oh well...until next time he pisses me off...I guess I'm done with my rant.
*Thanks Jama for the bending of your ears...I needed to spew out all of those foul words and better in your IM than in here. *
