hi there, (fake breezy emoticon)
after moths (yrs) of inconsistent rubbish re visits. DD finally went swimming with her dad, about 3 weeks ago.
It took alot of courage on her part. I thought we were back to the 2 week visits. So I waited all week for a call. nothing. He finally followed up this swim visit with a call 11 days after. DD, again (6 yrs)didn't wish to speak to him, which is normal, as she is only 6 and a bitnervous of the phone.
I wiated for him to suggest his plans for the weekend-he said nothing. Got off the phone and had to tell dd that he'd not mentioned it.
forward to this weekend gone, he rang friday night, said 'does she wanna see me this weekend or wot', I said, well we have a party most of the afternoon on sat', then said 'I thought last weekend was your weekend' (as in why didn't you see her, mention it, or even say you couldn't) to which he said 'oh i thought she didn't want to see me'
but he never asked.
There were lots of things i could have replied ,but i didn't i just said i had to go now ( i was on the high street on my way out without dd).
can someone tell me if he is just playing at being bothered.
Can someone affirm that he has lost the plot.
Before i lose the plot.
Any good ways I can banish his inconsistent rubbish and crap FINALLY to the bottom of a well.
DD is really angry again with him, after she made an enormous effort to try and understand his lax attitude, and with me trying to say she has to accept it.
Does he want her to hate him? Is it a get out clause?
god its so fucking boring.
