His dad is choosing to not be here for me or him and I want to email him and go off on him so bad for his decisions.. but I also don't want to wake up tomorrow apologizing for being a "*****"..
What do I do? I want to just ignore him and let him live his life but I feel like he is being so selfish..
I just wish he would understand.. When he is sleeping in until noon on the weekend i am up making breakfast.. When he has to run errands or run to the store for something and he can just come and go as he pleases i have to get a kid dressed and take extra time to do so, when he is out with his 21 year old friends partying and getting drunk i'm home with a child who has a fever or whatever is going on, when he wants to sleep he can sleep, when he wants to eat he can eat, when he needs to go to work he can go to work, when he wants anything that he wants he can have it but i can't and i don't and it's so frustrating that i don't even have a slight break from that sometimes. and it pisses me off that he CHOOSES to not be here to help me out when he can be here.. Why do I have to do it all by myself?? I am a single mother with BPD with an autistic child and it gets to be so much sometimes and I feel like he deserves my wrath of total chaos directed at him... (sigh)

You know what? you have every right to be angry. Going off on him will not help or do anything at all though. He is a slacker as a parent and is not likely going to change that. Silver lining is that if he were forced to be there for the boy he would probably do a lousy job anyway becuase he would do it begrudgingly. You're the best parent of the two of you because you're willing and responsible. I commend you for it.
I know how you feel but I've long since given up on my ex. She went so far as to remove herself from the state completely and my two boys, one being Asperger's afflicted, are with me 100% of the time. i understand but these people do not have the gumption to be actual parents. They are selfish and self serving. You're better off without him in the boy's life.
