Unsurprised but irrationally fuming! DD has let me know her father ( who she's chosen to go NC with) has used his socials to yet again portray himself as superdad, discussing his views on parents who abuse their children. Now of course we are all disgusted by such appaling treatment of children but by God the absute gall of the man!
The abuse my poor DD witnessed at the hands of her father which affect her to this day in many ways and he has the utter cheek to comment on others.
Now she and I are fully aware it's all pretence, and isn't the first time that he has portrayed himself as a saintly character. (Obviously he's not going to admit online or to anyone else that he's an abusive bully).
My DD has learnt to laugh at most of his toe curling cringy lies and nonsense but this has really hit a nerve for both of us. I normally remain indifferent as its a waste of time and energy to engage, and luckily my DD has refrained from responding online what she thinks.
I can only think that he must live with some semblance of fear that his friends, family and work colleagues will eventually find out the " real" him, as its abundantly clear that over time he's certainly never felt any accountability or guilt . They say the truth always comes out in the end?
Sadly I suspect I'm one of many women/ mothers who deal with this nauseating level of fakery from an abusive ex.
