Just need to share...

...I'm a single mum to a dd...I had to ensure an event today with her dad. He is not very involved, and I had to virtually beg him to be at the event for his dd today. She was devastated he might not come. So I had to beg him to come.

I think I hate him.

He makes me feel like I was his just an incubator for his sperm.

He makes me feel so used.

My belief set includes thinking that life is so so precious, that it brings with it responsibilities. I have honoured those. On my own. For over a decade.

I'm tired. I'm angry at him.

I'm so angry that I have to beg him to fulfil his responsibilities.

To beg him to not ruin her life.

Need to share. So upset.

Thanks for reading.

It's hard, but probably healthier long term for your DD if you let him be the parent he is. Invite him, and reassure her that you'll always be there. You can't make him into someone he isn't.
