One of my brothers died of cancer two days ago. I got a call late (ish) at night from my sister in law lettting me know. I called my ex to let him know and must have woken him up (10pm?) He just wouldnt properly wake up to talk to me and after 2 mins said, look I'm not realy awake and I dont know what you want me to say? So I quickly said, oh fine then and hung up.
The next morning he came to collect DD to take her to nursery as usual and hewas late and was really brusque and cold. He did give me a crap hug and then said he had to go as he was late for work. Then he phoned me later and moaned he couldnt get through on the phone (i had been talking to my relatives) and then asked why I was being al moody. I did say he was a bit cold towards me and wouldnt even stay for more than 2 mins this morning... and then he went ballastic shouting at me... then I get this email saying if he doesnt behave in the 'perfect' way I am impossible to deal with and its always been a problem and I need to stop being so horrible...
Again this morning he was cold and arsey with me....
I am at home today on my own.... I hate him doing this at such a sad time. Its like he doesnt know how to show an genuine empathy and then gets aggressive when you say that hurts your feelings... I know ultimately its because he doesnt give a shit, but as the mother of his kids (who are both really sad their uncle died) it really hurts.
