Exh has called the kids maybe twice since xmas, and the last one of those, he only spoke to dd1 as i had taken the others out swimming with my current partner.
When i got home dd1 said that he told her i should call him back to speak to the other kids. He is in thailand btw and was expecting me to call him from landline to mobile. I actually dont have his number any more, but even so i dont see why i should pay for him to speak to them, when he barely keeps in touch with them, and hasnt supported them since we split. He also told dd1 that i had been ignoring texts and emails from him, which is just rubbish as i havent had any contact with him for ages now, probably the end of november. This of course upset and confused dd1 (she is almost 15)
Now today, dd2 gets an email from him (she is 10), with a video attached of him. So i dl it for them, call them all in, they all sit down excited to see/hear from him, and what do they get?
Him looking pissed out of his head (i know the signs), and he said " hello dd1, dd2,ds1,ds2, it's dad. Just saying hello and i hope to see you soon one day. Bye"
i've probably left the odd word out, but it was that short
dd1 started crying and the others just sat there like was that it?
i am angry that if he was going to do something like that then he should a) be sober and b) have spent a bit bloody longer making some effort.
or should i be pleased he even sent them a video of himself at all?
