[QUOTE="Star*, post: 285538, member: 4964"] I think if I were to be completely and utterly honest with myself there is a a part of me that has sat and waited nearly 14 years for Dude to finally finally finally GET what it took me only the first one or two disappointments to get. NOT that I wanted my child to hurt, not that I wanted to see my kid cry, not that I wanted to hear the excuses my ex would give over the years or even that I wanted to be right - but I was. In 14 years of sitting and waiting - the man sent a rusty used bicycle in a brand new bicycle box and his baseball cap so that dude could smell his scent (no joke). He sent one letter with 2 $1 bills in it and most recently when Dude contacted him on his own that he was still doing drugs, unemployed, but had been hit by a car and had (HAD) to sell his pain medications to have an income - BUT he could send him $1000 dollars less the amt. it would take to sent it Western Union. AND - his nephew had wrecked his 3rd truck (at age 18) did he want Dude to get that wrecked truck for him? All the years of having to endure the yelling and screaming and hateful words that Daddy was wonderful - I'd see and Daddy would come and take him away and Daddy would get him stuff, and Daddy would buy him a car and Step Dad was a jerk - (step Dad sold his boat and Harley to get this kid psychiatric help and clothes for high school) so yeah....until the last little stint here about the 1000 dollars from drug sales and the wrecked car? I though the sun rose and set on Daddy - but to hear it out of Dudes mouth that Daddy was a waste of time? What I thought all these years I wanted to hear - I really didn't. It made me a little sadder than I thought. Either way we don't get to win. Eventually she'll come to her senses. She's just confused and hurt. Hugs for you both. A swift kick in the junk for him.
