Hi ladies
not familiar with the whole co parenting lark, have been split from DDs father for around one year.
he’s been pretty absent. Doesn’t care about anything that goes on day to day, sickness, nursery etc. sees her every other weekend. Always turns up but never wants more time when I offer it.
has a new girlfriend, wants nothing to do with me, we communicate via an app and he has changed to CMS for payments as he doesn’t want to talk to me.
happy with the above have come to accept how much he hates me - baring it mind it was him who was cheating when my DD was only 4 months old, not the other way around. I was very understanding throughout entire split, sold the house as he asked, went part time and dropped down in my career to be there for DD as he refused to help during the week etc.
have always worked around him and his work.
i expected a ‘happy Mother’s Day for tomorrow’ when he dropped DD of yesterday. Or perhaps even a card. He done this for my birthday and Christmas (plus presents) when we first split. But Mother’s Day he hasn’t even acknowledged.
I feel hurt. I don’t need the thanks because I do it all for DD because I love her whole heartedly. But just common decency and respect I thought he might say it.
do I just need to get over it? I don’t understand how people just accept that the man they loved and loved with for years on end and planned children with, is just an outright a**hole.
