Visitation this weekend
| Tue, 01-17-2006 - 9:10am |
My stbx was supposed to see my son on Saturday. He was supposed to be here Saturday morning. He called at 12:30 Saturday afternoon to say that he couldn't make it because of the weather (it was raining). We live in different states and the ride is about 1 hour (or less). Well, once again I have to break the news to my son that his father isn't coming - but said that he will be down on Sunday to take him out for the day. So - I take my son over to friends' houses to play with their kids and whatnot trying to ease the blow (I am so tired of doing this) and ended up over another friends' house to stay the night. Well - it was raining on Saturday and then turned very cold overnight and the locks on my car froze. I couldn't get into my car on Sunday morning. My stbx does not have a phone at all (not even a home phone) and I couldn't call him to let him know what was going on. I called my family's house to let them know what was going on and to tell my stbx sorry - but today isn't a good day to see him (technically he was supposed to ALREADY have my son). My mother got mad at me saying that I put her in a 'bad predicament' because my stbx waited for an hour outside of the house for me and my son. She felt sorry for him because he was waiting (yeah - who's side is she on, huh????) She even went as far as letting this bastard into her apartment because he was cold. They were most likely talking about me (my mother has an uncanny way of doing backstabbing stuff like this to me) and I haven't talked to her since. WTF. Well, I don't feel bad for my stbx at all. I feel bad for my son - that's it. And it upsets me even more that my mother is that ignorant that she refuses to realize that I am not playing games with my stbx. He's the one who makes the promises that he is unable to keep. Not me. And she knows this. Perhaps it's because she and he are a lot alike in the sense that they are both very selfish - I don't care anymore. I just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks for listening. Pam

hi and hugs.
i was in your shoes a long time ago - my son is now 19, and i got divorced from his bio dad when he was 3. his father would come visit him once a week and take him for one weekend a month - this lasted
Hi Pam..... When he calls to cancel, tell him that HE has to talk to your son to tell him that he's not coming and why.
