Ok, so a little back story. I have been a single parent since January 2016. Since my son was 18 month old. He will be 8 soon, so most his life. No contact from his Dad. His dads choice!
My son's had a tough life health wise. Thankfully nothing serious but alot of hospital admissions and 3 operations that his Dad had no interest in despite the consultant requesting his presence (he refused). We are now currently on the ASD pathway for the 3rd time since my son was 3. This is because appointments never come through apart from the initial assessments. It's such a battle, honestly it breaks my heart how hard it has been to get something in place for him.
We struggle financially. Life is hard. We got left in alot of debt by his Dad that I was left to pay (my name). I have no life for myself. It's dedicated to my son and battling to get him the support he needs and give him the best I can on the little I have.
Anyway I realise I just need to ignore it but I saw something earlier of some work my son's Dad is doing. I cant really say the nature as its outing but I really cannot stand reading the comments of how amazing people think he is and how the world needs more men like him, and how the world is a better place with him in it etc. And the way he responds like his some sort of God. Makes me feel sick and angry.
I know it shouldn't bother me but at the moment it does. Probably because life is becoming increasingly hard on many levels. I commend the line of work he is in but I cant give him any praise because of how he has abandoned his own child (well actually 4 kids, yes he has 4 children in total and sees none of them). How can you do so much for so many others but nothing for your own?
A needless vent really but is anyone else fed up of people thinking the sun shines about their crappy ex's/kids dad's arse? When quire frankly they are a massive piece of shit
