My DD has a school away trip in January. ALL the children in her year are expected to go and it is a rite of passage.
The cost is several hundred pounds plus clothing.
I asked ex to go halves and said I would provide the clothing.
He has replied that he doesn't see the educational value in the trip (it's to a farm where they learn to care for animals) and that he will not be contributing.
I will now be paying for it all myself but once again it's highlighted that he is just opting out of parenting, safe in the knowledge that I will pick up the pieces and I feel so sad and lonely that I'm on this journey all alone.
Not really asking anything - just sad.
