What is wrong with this guy??? Going by his words and way of thinking, he obviously doesn't take responsibility for his own actions and is in the habit of blaming others. And this is my daughter's father... sigh... great...
The guy is about 10 years older than me... is it so much to ask that he act like he's older??
I also think of what it says about myself that this was somebody that I was with back then... but nobody's immune to stupid acts of conduct. The positive side of mistakes is that we can learn from them and they make us into better people... hopefully! In his case... not so much...
At the time, I was caught in the all-too-familiar comfort zone... even when I was miserable, I was more afraid of the unknown. But when a comment was said to me that hit my heart (because it involved my daughter), I knew in that very moment, that I HAD to leave that toxic/miserable situation I kept myself in. Soon after that, I made a plan and it was set in motion. I remember it like yesterday--once I started that ball rolling, it was not going to stop... each day that passed, it was like the ascent on a roller coaster--I was nervous, anxious and (unlike a roller coaster) wasn't sure what kind of reaction to anticipate... I just knew it was going to have that same feeling as when the roller starts it descent.
I have another 13 years left that I have to be in contact with her dad o_O As time goes on though, I'm hoping that I have to deal w/ him less and less since my daughter will be older and she will be able to make certain decisions on her own.
