Two teenage DDs. No acknowledgement whatsoever of Mother’s Day. Not even a Cadbury’s cream egg for Easter.
They think the sun shines out of their dad’s arse. It doesn’t. He’s an abusive narcissist who has don’t the best he can to avoid actually looking after them. Turns up once a week and plays the cool dad. He’s been to the grand total of one school play and parents eve in his life.
Youngest DD in particular was such a sweet child but now takes her lead from her older sister who can behave pretty heartlessly.
Just been out with them for a run to get them out of the house (couch to 5k). Have probs with my legs so had to stop and stretch to avoid injury, eldest DD wouldn’t even entertain waiting. I ended up coming home alone and didn’t finish the run, we got halfway. I was trying so hard, I just came home and sobbed.
They are so mean and disrespectful. I can’t send them to live with their dad, he has too many issues. Have no communication with him whatsoever. Obviously grandparents are out at the moment.
I’m at my wits end. I honestly tried my hardest to bring them up well and have sacrificed so much for them. I don’t understand how they can just throw it all back in my face.
I think I’ve probably been too soft on them over the years, maybe I’ve spoilt them. I know teenagers are tricky but I was expecting drinking, boys and drugs but not plain nastiness.
I just don’t know how to go on.
