Facebooks ability to make me dwell

[MikeTheShite]

Hi all,
I'm single mum to dd 2.5, I've been on my own for over three years after when I found out I was 6 months pregnant my DP leaving me for OW. (Cheating for quite a while)
I moved back to my parents with nothing, had to give up work.
Now I have a beautiful daughter, lovely house, dog, car, I have enough financiLly. Excellent friends and family and I changed career and I am now a student nurse.

Dd sees xp twice a month for 24 hours. Lots of me driving.

However, I am positive and even though I have moments every day where I miss what could have been I am on the whole realistic.

This morning though a mutual friend posted a picture of him and ow on Facebook with a caption of 'don't spoilt what you have by thinking of what you do not, you already have more than you already hoped for'

YES AT MY AND MY CHILDS EXPENSE.

It's made me realise how 3 years on how angry and bitter I still am.
He's a crap dad he really is so I can't understand why I feel this way.

Is it a case of a woman scorned?
Or
Because I have to work so bloody hard to just plod along and I'm still here you know doing it by myself!!!!!

I'm just hoping that my anger ness and bitterness fades over time

That caption sounds bonkers. Even if their relationship was in trouble, why on earth, as a friend, would you post some sort of woo advice over a picture of another couple? Unfollow this friend for that reason alone .

I do agree that FB is totally shite and used for all sorts of crap reasons. Valentine's day on there was enough to finish me off.

"...why on earth, as a friend, would you post some sort of woo advice over a picture of another couple?"

It's a shame really that I can't come off of Facebook as I have so many family members in far flung places that it's the easiest way to catch up with them.

Tbh I saw him today when dropping off dd and without meaning to sound arogant I did think to myself 'what on earth was i thinking and why do I let this cretin still get to me'

I an so much better off now! I think it's the act of betrayal and deceit by both him and her that angers me

Re the dropping off, can you not think of a reason why you cannot do that any more?

For example, I have RSI which affects my wrists badly and I could no more do that drive than fly to the moon.

Can you not have a bad back which prevents you from doing it?

Did he move away or did you?

I would block the "friend" who posted his photo.

MrsFring his been dealt with
OMG !!! Absolutely HOWLING at this!!!

Mike When he cheats on her you will long have gotten over your pain!

I like that, mademan

Have you thought about starting another facebook account?

Exactly it's only a case of when he cheats on her.
Especially as he tells me on the phone when talking about dd 'you looked lovely yesterday Mike'
I just put the phone down!

Unfortunately it's in dds best interests that I continue to do it.

Urgh and then he drops DD off and when DD is in bed I just sit and cry as the lonliness is just heightened.
