Ok, I have lots of issues with DS's dad, but I will limit thread to one issue.
DS, mid primary age, is a very anxious child, something I am trying to address. One of the things he is anxious about has been caused entirely by his idiot father. His father keeps telling him disaster stories. I have repeatedly told him not to do this as it frightens DS. In particular, not to tell him about bridges collapsing as this freaks DS out. I long had difficulty getting him over a bridge to a favourite play areas as he refused to cross in case it collapses. He freaked out a few weeks ago when we were in a traffic queue, and he noticed it was on a bridge and started to panic and wanted us to turn around in case the bridge collapsed. Its the same with going under bridges in case they collapse on top of us. I have been telling DS over and over that bridges don't collapse as people check them regularly to make sure they are safe. In car with DS and his dad the other day. DS already starting to freak as we got lost, he asks his Dad how people check bridges are safe, his fucking dad replies by telling him another story about a bridge that collapsed whilst people were on it!
The man is an idiot. I am fucking sick of him.
