Ok.... Something new is occurring lately.

I'm going through stretches where I am really, really angry.

Today she told me how devastated she is that she can't see our daughter Our daughter is her obvious favorite because men suck.

She's devastated she says.

Not a thought or question about the kids. Not a concern about school attendance, grief, report cards, and has only ever asked about seeing and connecting with our daughter in the past almost three months. Not a thought that her actions have led to no contact and the kids are MORE devastated for longer.

Money is tight, but it's not noticeably different than when she was here. It's actually better. But there's not a thought or question of, "Are they ok? Do they need anything?"

Our kids are really good kids. I'm proud of them. They deserve better, and have deserved better for years.

And as a loving parent, I deserve better. She hurt our kids, deeply, and we all still tried to support her and love her and care for her.

And now that the kids have cut her loose, she's the one injured and devastated.

The selfishness, self centeredness and self righteousness is staggering.
