A good whinge helps soothe the soul

Can you believe it, Monday again....
Back to the same old routine for the week....
The months are just flying by ....
It was a busy week just gone with Daniel having Sports Day ....
Just love going to them...lol....
Also Daniel had a rather traumatic time at the dentist...
He had a baby tooth extracted as it was rotting....It broke into 5 peices and after the pulling and digging he vowed he would brush his teeth every single day from now on as he never wanted to go through that process again....
I don`t blame hi either....
I was in the chair next to him and my stomach was churning feeling every single bit of his pain....
..................................................
I had a good talk with my ex in laws the other night.....They needed to know some home truths about their eldest son...My ex.....
He is destroying these kids mental health, especially my sons....
They totally agree with what I had to say and I know them well...They will give him a good talking too...
Not that he`ll listen but he needs to know how much he is hurting them...
He still hasn`t bothered to come see my daughter for her birthday, which was at the beginning of this month...It hurts her and she feels she`s not loved by him....
He rang here the other night and all he wanted was to talk to my son....
Wanted him to stay over with him on the weekend but my son has now seen the after effects of binge drinking and doesn`t want any part of it....
As long as he has his alcohol and drugs these kids will always come second....
My son told him politely he had other arrangements made for the weekend.....Not my doing , he did this on his own back....
My son actually said to me the less I have to see him and hear from him the less I have to worry about him.....
These kids live with the fear of knowing sooner rather than later that they will be dealing with a funeral....
His....
So sad to think like that of one of your parents....These kids have had a lot to deal with already in their young lives....And an awful lot of childhood memories are now starting to surface....
What hurts me the most is that I had welfare called in on him several times and the mongrel got away with what I had claimed...
The system certainly let my kids down....
This is probably why I try to do so much for my kids as they only have one parent and friend who does give a shit about what happens in their life.....

  2. Hi Mandy,

    It sounds like your son has worked out his father. It's a pity that Krystal takes it so hard. All you can do is keep on doing what you're doing which is giving the kids all of your love.

    Cheers
