She started a fight when picking the kids up.
I have a few recent posts about my situation.
She works until 9 or 10 at night, depending on the shift, so i have the kids a lot. its been like this for about 3 or 4 years. Me and the kids have created a strong bond because im trying to make up her absence. id have felt better about her hours while we together, but she didnt help much, and anytime I vented about how many bills I was paying, I was "holding it over her head". she blames me for quitting previous jobs, but i simply talked her out of quitting because she had panic attacks before work and talked about wanting to fight employees. shes always held down a job, but not without getting the worst of her at home.
She picked the kids up tonight an hour late, and didnt call when she was on her way. she called our son when she pulled in the driveway, and he put her on speaker like he always does. I dont like it, but i dont want to make him feel like hes doing something wrong.
He handed me the phone on speaker, and she immediately says "well he doesn't sound happy to leave" in the nastiest tone. I quietly said "shh" and said its on speaker. she told me to take it off speaker, then continued to make me feel bad that my son has a closer relationship to me. She blames me for being a bad mother, because of how miserable I made her. none of it has anything to do with her disease. Im not perfect, but im not the person she thinks I am. Im just trying to be the best dad I can be, and that includes her kid who she never let me legally adopt because I didnt put her on the title of the house. Fuck this shit.
