Well, she strikes again. Apparently my husband is nothing but a means of support for my SD, at least in his ex's eyes.
Hubby's mom called last night and told us that a) his sister took his daughter to Disneyland for Spring Break (nothing wrong with it, but just goes to show that he knows nothing about her life) and b) that his daugher made honor roll.
Seems like that should have come from his daughter, or at least her mother. But once again, it just proves what I've said all along -- he's being used. His ex got what she wanted all along -- a child, a means to support that child, and no interference from anyone else on raising that child.
I feel so bad for my husband. Here is his daughter, who is rarely home when he calls, nor does anyone call him back. He doesn't know much about her life, and the only time the ex bothers to fill him in is when it personally benefits her -- when she wants/needs something.
He basically just sends money every month for a child he barely knows. I personally think if she wants to raise the child on her own, then she should take full responsibility. I can't tell you how fast she comes running when she needs help with medical bills, yet she didn't bother to come to DH in the first place and tell him that his daughter was sick.
I really hate to see DH being taken advantage of, yet what else can he do? I think the damage has already been done. I'm sure his daughter doesn't respect him as a father. Instead of calling DH when there's a discipline problem, the ex just blames it all on his "abandoning" them so many years ago. Yeah lady -- he abandoned you. That's why YOU picked up and moved across country while he was still stationed here.
Granted, he did move out when you admitted to fooling around while he was in Saudi, but hey -- who abandoned who? Oh, this just gets my blood pressure boiling already at 9:00 am. I just needed to vent a little. Thanks for allowing me!
