My emotions

Oh God, just woke up and checked my phone to see if he had called. He was supposed to call about the plans for our son's choir performance tomorrow night (fast approaching tonight). He hasn't called. I tried to call him and wouldn't you know it...he doesn't answer either of his phones. As much as I want to have some type of emotion toward this incident, I'm sure he is looking for me to be "irrational". I'm upset because I told him 2 weeks ago that this Thurs-Sun I am very busy at work and that he would need to help with our son. I really expected him to come through for this. Now, I'm going to have to ask my mother to help which she will do, but she will have to go out of her way to do it. She attends a lodge meeting on Thursday nights (my husband knows this). Yet, it will be her who sacrifices her personal life for our son (she will also be doing it for me). Why is he being so difficult and selfish? I'm going back to sleep. This is not worth getting emotional about. My prayer is that one day he will come to his senses and step up to be agood father and husband. If nothing else, at least he could step up to the plate and be a good father for his child. I"m sure he would put his 2cents worth in right now and say that by not going to a choir performance doesn't make him a bad father. Night night, everyone. Thanks for listening to my rant.

" Exactly Patti. He IS being very selfish & it's a mind game...not only to you, but he's also screwing with your child's head because he doesn't know if his dad will be there or not. The LEAST he could do is give you a yes or no answer....simple. BUT nooooo, he's got his head so far up his own @ss, his mouth is probably too full of crap to talk right now! What a jerk! ((((HUG to you & your son)))) "

" Recent - it does make him a bad father. I'm sick of these men that can dispose of their children as quickly as their wives. My ex hasn't seen or spoken to his two in 18 months. What crap "

" he is not interested in being a good father, he is interested in hurting you and making your life miserable. how sad a man is that. thank God for your mom. all of your childs memories will be of mom and grandmom, the two people that were always there for him. my kids are adults and the memories are all about them and me. we sure have had some great times. to bad your ex chooses to be an idiot.

" His actions definitely don't show that he is "working" on restoring our marriage. I can't say for sure why he didn't answer his phone last night at 12:15, but I would guess it was because he was out with his "buds" and he doesn't have to feel guilty since he isn't living under the same roof anymore. I WILL not let this get to me. I will not even acknowledge that it bothers me. He says he will go to therapy with me next week. I'll believe it when I see it. I hope he will, but in my heart I think he will find an excuse "oh, I don't have time to leave work for that." I want to have positive thoughts, but it is so hard when things like this are going on and he doesn't follow through on what he said he would do. Thanks to all for the responses. "
