… what would it be?

I’ll go first: “You didn’t make a noble sacrifice, you went back to a relationship where you are used and abused in front of your children who will see this dysfunction as the ‘model’ for their future relationships. Wake the fuck up.”

You don't live in reality.

My mother once asked me (after I'd left him) ''How did you ever end up with *Dave?''

I'd love to say to her

Because you trained me that I do not get to raise an issue that matters to me, and if I ever tried, I instantly got the silent treatment, and it turns out his verbal abuse and your silent treatment, they're two means to the same goal; silencing me, so that dear mother is the reason I ended up with *Dave.

Edited

I could have written this post.

You just had to acknowledge that your behaviour had enormous ripple effects throughout our childhoods and early
life. Never once have you even referenced it. You can’t apologize for alcoholism - it’s a disease - but before you die, you could acknowledge the impact it has had.

Ereyraa · 04/06/2024 22:51

It’s not everyone else. The problem is YOU.

Ihopeithinkiknow · 04/06/2024 22:54

I wish it was you that died that day instead of our beautiful son and for what you did afterwards makes you the worst person I have ever known and I hope you die alone and in pain.

This might make me sound like the biggest cunt in the world but I'm not gonna apologise for wishing death on someone who is a complete waste of oxygen

LeavesOnTrees · 04/06/2024 23:04

I don't give a shit about your furniture.

liv4321S · 04/06/2024 23:04

Why did you tell everyone who would listen I cheated on you. That shit hurt.

I was sexually abused by a man more than twice my age.

Cooper77 · 04/06/2024 23:04

I desperately need a life of my own, now, before it’s too late. But I can’t have that because I have to worry about you and keep you company. I’m a prisoner here and always have been.

GreekVases · 04/06/2024 23:08

I love you. It’s deeply unfortunate, but there you go.

Plsdiscuss · 04/06/2024 23:14

I'm so sorry for your loss @Ihopeithinkiknow

PurpleBugz · 04/06/2024 23:16

Love is actions it is more than the words you fucking lier

Ineedwinenow · 04/06/2024 23:17

It will always be you, your the one that got away, despite now being happily married your still regularly in my thoughts and heart, why did you pick my friend and break my heart you cunt..

inneedofaglowup · 04/06/2024 23:33

You're both horrid people. I'm glad you went out of my life and I'm glad dad was never around. I'm grown up and I thank the heavens I was with my grandparents. I have never seen two selfish, self obsessed entitled people more undeserving of children than you both. And it satisfies me that to this day neither of you have the feeling of fulfilment in your lives.

sammylady37 · 04/06/2024 23:34

You’re a selfish self-serving prick, who neglected those who needed you when they were at their lowest, and you dumped your responsibility on others (me) and sulked when I called you on it…it’s too late to make amends now, your hail fellow well met routine fools nobody, you’ve burned those bridges and I sincerely hope you get the life you deserve.

Tegridyfarms · 04/06/2024 23:49

I think what hurt the most is that we'd been best friends for years and yet you listened to strangers over me.

MrsToddsShortcut · 04/06/2024 23:51

Two weeks after you died, I had a really clear thought out of nowhere. 'At least you can't kill us now'. I didn't realise that I'd carried that very real fear through all the years I tried to protect our beautiful kids and myself from you.

And to your family who disappeared out of our lives not long lafter you died: you are shameless, gutless cowards who preferred cutting your son's only children out of your lives rather than face up to who he was.

Amybelle88 · 04/06/2024 23:53

Playing the victim after telling your 27 year old daughter who just had pancreatic cancer that she's dead to you is an embarrassing move.

Phew!

Notchangingnameagain · 04/06/2024 23:53

You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop trying to ruin his life because he left you, stop punishing him by refusing access to his child under the pretence of protecting said child. When you are doing all the things you say he does. Grow the fuck up. Be a parent and put your child first you fucking idiot.

shellyleppard · 04/06/2024 23:55

To mum..... I'm sorry my sister died and you had no help getting over it. I think it haunted you for your entire life and I wish we could have talked about it.

Crispynoodle · 04/06/2024 23:55

I still love you after all these years, we would still be together if you had ambition. I wanted a better life for my children and I got it. I still think about you and the fact in the odd time we've been in the same room together I know you feel the same
I actually did get to say it....

fiddlesticksohyeah · 04/06/2024 23:56

You're an addict and a bad mother

Notchangingnameagain · 04/06/2024 23:57

You absolutely did not and have not found God you drug pushing piece of shit. You might have fooled the prison service but you have not fooled me or anyone else that knows you. Dickhead.

LadyMuckk · 05/06/2024 00:11

Some really sad posts here 😢

Plsdiscuss · 05/06/2024 06:06

What happened next @Crispynoodle ?

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 05/06/2024 06:39

@Ihopeithinkiknow 💐I'm so sorry for your loss.
