About Me

My photo
I am a 45 year old living in South Texas with my husband, two daughters and bonus son.....enjoying life and trying to find my way through :) I was born and raised in the UP of Michigan, graduated from MSU, and have been living in Texas for the past 22 years.....so I guess I'm officially a transplant. Or so I've been told.

Good Cop Bad Cop

This has been brewing for awhile, but I'm smack dab in the middle of it now, so welcome to my rant.  

From my previous posts, you can tell that I'm obviously "without child" this weekend.  With my relationship with my Ex Douche, I must explain a few things.  He signed away visitation and all conservatorship of Miss Priss in 2005.  We have been living separately since 2004 btw.  That being said, he doesn't call her, she doesn't ask about him and we just go down the road.  I don't think that he is a vile human being but I certainly don't understand how you can be a parent and not want to see your kid!?

If he does call, it is usually once every 2 months and then he "tells" me that he is going to take Miss Priss to do "XYorZ" for the weekend, for the day, you get the picture.  I never block these visits as Miss Priss seems to enjoy them.  However, I might be on a pity trip here.....BUT I get sick of being the one who takes care of her 24-7, helps with homework/science projects, takes her to soccer, takes her to the ER, does all the dirty work.....THEN he swoops down and says "I'm taking you to the most GD wonderful zoo I can find this weekend!  How would you like that Miss Priss??!!"

So, as I sit here getting tanked up on my morning coffee and I am left to revel in those fine thoughts.  I have enjoyed some of the quiet time this weekend, but I am noticing that the quiet is as times deafening.  Thank God the dog snores.  ;)

It is always saddening to hear this kind of story. Children will have empty rooms in their heart if not filled with memories of both parents.
