Baffy well done you hope you feel better after a good nights sleep. Your bound to feel exhausted with it all it took a lot of emotional strength to do that! He really is playing a game though isn't he

PC hope all goes well for Paddle palace crossing everything for you. Sorry not on FB so can't help out there !

Tanee how sad that's so young isn't it sometimes it takes something like that for us to put some things in perspective.

McD shame he isn't being more of a dad How you doing popped on your Dec thread and saw you were having twinges etc. Hope your finding time to do things for you and you have a lovely time at the spa. Just a note don't lie flat on your back for any of treatments i did for a facial and had to stop half a dozen times as thought i was going to faint. Apparantly it's not good to lie flat so was fine when i propped myself up.

So and for the rest of you that dad's are letting you and your little ones down it really beggars belief when you see how selfish some men can really be. It's agood job they all have lovely mums like you.

xxLL

thanks everyone

my counsellor was great too this morning so feeling slightly better

pc I did send a big long reply on fb last night! hope you're ok?

macd, fubsy - so on your behalf. how these men think they have a right to call themselves fathers when it is so clearly a chore to look after their own children... I won't rant! but am so angry on your behalf!

Baffy, thanks for your reply on FB. I am feeling pretty battered by it all. I know you completely understand as you've experienced all this yourself.

I stupidly got into an MSN conversation with him this morning. I refused to discuss dd and told him if he wished to have information he needs to propose an access plan and stick to it. then he says he's just trying to be sociable. when i replied "try being a responsible, involved parent instead of being sociable" he logged off.

leaving me fuming once again. i am getting pretty nervous about seeing him tomorrow now.

btw, on the upside, i have exchanged on the sale/purchase!

Baffy · 30/11/2007 13:46

firstly - congratulations! great news

secondly you're reply was spot on. just trying to be sociable! wtf!

I think you said exactly the right thing.

And his response was to log off! Selfish, cowardly *!!

Great news PC! Now you can really get on with your own life.

Will you be there for Xmas?

ginnedupumpkin · 01/12/2007 12:22

Hi. Just wanted to say good luck for today PC. I'll be thinking of you.

Baffy - Sorry you're feeling low, divorce is never easy, but you know you did everything humanly possible to avoid getting to this point. Stay strong - when this stage is over you can make a new life for yourself, ds and NM in 2008.

MacD - your H is unbelievable. She's his dd ffs!

Nice to see you on here Motherofaprincess. I have posted on your other thread

Bloody men! Why are they all so selfish?

TimeForMe · 01/12/2007 14:21

Just popped in to say hello and wish everyone a lovely weekend - regardless!

PC - Thinking of you. Hope all goes well today. I agree with Baffy, your response was spot on!

xx

Baffy · 03/12/2007 09:39

pc I hope you're ok? I just replied to your discussion on facebook.

I didn't text back on Saturday night as I was just on my way out, and the punch we were drinking was lethal! Within about an hour I was extremely drunk so I don't trust myself with my phone when I'm like that and switch it off!

I suffered yesterday! Had to put a brave face on to take my mum out for a meal for her birthday! Never drinking again!!

Brilliant!

Fubsy · 03/12/2007 19:34

yay!

Fubsyinapeartree · 03/12/2007 19:47

Oh BTW, Im getting a puppy on Thursday!

ernest · 03/12/2007 21:09

just popping in to try and keep up with you all. Big congratulations PC. Really a positive new future just starting for you. Best of luck with your meeting on Saturday.

Baffy, you are so brave. How sad for all this to be round the time of your anniversary. As other said, what planet is the loon on, sending that text?????

Mcd, soory your H is being such an arse. I cannot believe how men can treat their kids like this. I must say I have a pretty dim view of divorced fathers - my dad pissed off when I was a baby, leaving my mum to bring up 2 tiny kids alone 8after she paid to put him through university), never paid a penny maintenance, never saw us once. Then went off, married some other woman and haad kids and played happy families with them and completely forgot about us. Disposable families . Obv. not all men, but even just reading this thread makes pretty depressing reading

Ho hum. Guess I didn't cheer anyone up .

But I'm really pleased for you pc & baffy, even tho it doesn't feel great now and you'r grieving - you've really turned a corner. Here's to a positive new future for everyone

Fubsyinapeartree · 03/12/2007 22:09

How are you ernest?

Baffy · 04/12/2007 09:47

fubsy the puppy sounds great!

ernest, good to hear from you. how are things?

ernest · 04/12/2007 10:00

ernest · 04/12/2007 10:01

ooh yes, what sort of puppy are you getting? Good luck with the baby stage and sleepless nights

mummyofaprincess · 04/12/2007 10:15

hope everyones doing ok today, im having a bad morning , when DDs asleep tonight im going to get facebook and ill have to add you all onto it if thats ok I think my DD is missing her daddy so much, he hasnt wanted to see her and when he saw here yesterday he didnt really take much notice that she was around, its her birthday friday and he said hes coming to see her through agreement but he hasnt said yet how long hes staying etc as i want him to spend as much time as he can with her instead of just an hour or so, or sometimes just 10 mins
Thinking of you all x

LilyLoo · 04/12/2007 10:32

Great news pc

Baffy · 04/12/2007 10:40

mummyofaprincess I hope he doesn't let dd down on her birthday
too many stories on here of men letting their children down - so sad

I have the opposite problem with H a lot of the time lately. He wants ds all of the time. It makes me so sad having to be without him and missing that gorgeous smile when he first wakes up in the morning
Not that I'm complaining. I'd much rather he sees H as much as possible and will do everything I can for them to have a great relationship.

Just makes me so and that I have to share my baby. It wasn't how things were intended. I didn't have a child to be a part time mum to him. It's heartbreaking.

Anyway - guess I should count myself lucky that my H's a*hole behaviour is reserved purely for his wife!!

Ernest are you having much sickness?

Lilyloo how are you feeling?
