After 5 years of him being gone I sometimes get copies weird emails sent to daughter.... this one is about a craze for doing something that make you pass out...

So I sent a reply saying we were laughing about it, and DD isn't lilkley to do that as not stupid... and it's a crazy from 9 months ago.

He now says with a reply like that, it shows why he doesn't communicate with me... and then lies and says someone died becasue of it in our area this week.. but it's not in the news.. he always makes things up.

Want to send his a really snotty reply, as he knows I always reply when he emails me,,, Do you think he did it because he wants me to bite...

Has he lost three toes OR has he lost his 3rd toe?

Either way, never trust a man that can't keep his toes.

Turn of your Bluetooth, it wastes battery.

Wonderflonium · 20/05/2017 09:43

did he lose three toes or just the "roast beef" toe off one foot?

TheFirstMrsDV · 20/05/2017 09:43

Was he like this when you were together?
All self important and expecting you to hang on his words?

I think you have to totally ignore his emails all the time and help your DD manage his reaction or do the ' noted' thing.

She is old enough to know not to open any dodgy toe photos. She clearly knows what her dad is like.

Mummmy2017 · 20/05/2017 09:59

He used to be fun, a high up job when we split, his choice. I do try to be nice as it makes it easier but since we parted his luck has run out, illness, jobless also he split from his girlfriend, his choice...

When we do meet he acts as if I am in the wrong, so I just don't bother unless we are going to be there for another reason and he happens to be also going, so DD doesn't see him very often, and no I would never stop him visiting her but he thinks people should go to him...

Ha ha at the 'roast beef' toe!

redrobinblue · 20/05/2017 11:13

@ProphetOfDoom I read it as it was the third occasion of having a toe cut off! In hindsight either OP is specific with the toe detail, or it's 3 separate toes. Poor chap Grin

PuppyMonkey · 20/05/2017 11:20

What was it Oscar Wilde once said?

To lose one toe is unfortunate, to lose two sad, to lose three looks like carelessness???

I may have that wrong...Grin

MargotLovedTom1 · 20/05/2017 11:27

I am properly laughing at the toe posts Grin.

Sorry OP, nothing to add apart from ignore the fucker.

"Man with seven toes, he say..." Grin

Please do this, OP. He sounds like he needs to realise his Manly Opinion isn't required.

metalmum15 · 20/05/2017 12:50

I'm laughing so hard at all these toe comments!

But how the fuck has he managed to have 3 toes cut off? He should spend more time taking care of his feet and less time sending emails.

Some of you are really bad at maths Grin

mayrat · 20/05/2017 14:00

Ok, I need to know, was it his 3rd toe (as in this little piggy has roast beef) or the third time one of his toes has been taken? Does he have nine toes left or seven?

I don't feel I can chip in with adequate advice until I have this issue clarified.

FizzyGreenWater · 20/05/2017 14:46

MAN WITH SEVEN TOES HE SAY

LEARN TO COUNT BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME

(although he would probably write it as 'juge me' a la all those tragic tats)

CouldntMakeThisShitUp · 20/05/2017 15:47

At 15 years old - don't you think you should be teaching her how to be assertive with her dick of a dad/any other unreasonable demands?

unless he drops dead today she's got a lifetime of dealing with him to look forward to - so TEACH her how to handle shit like this instead of 'rescuing' her.

I don't like maths. You know why? Because it keeps asking me to find x. I mean - she's gone - get over it.

ChristmasFluff · 20/05/2017 18:28

He's long gone, don't ever reply. Remind your daughter that if he is ranting she can tell him that she is putting the phone down, and then she can do it and switch the phone to silent for 15 minutes.

He's trying to control you, and he is trying to use your daughter's distress to control you. Bullet dodged on your part. Please keep it that way, cos if his life is going tits up like you say, I would think the 'I made such a big mistake, it's you I really love' speech isn't far away.
