how much is just too much?
Hello fellow step parents!
I'm here tonight reaching out because my head feels like its about to explode.. I've been having some very draining days since Friday. I'm physically and emotionally exhausted.
My son broke a finger at school on friday, which is one of the issues I'm dealing with because I only found out about the injuy when I picked him up after school. The school didn't call me to inform me at the time when it happened and of course now they don't wanna take responsibility at all. Its become a "he said, she said " problem.
Today I was finally able to get him to see a specialist and get a cast on after the finger was put back in place by the orthopedic doctor.
Anywho.. I get home exhausted.. we were at at clinic since 6:30 am and when we get home at around 11 am DH is still in bed (its his day off) so of course I have to go make him breakfast because according to him that's my job.
As I'm cooking I tell him I wanna go to the school and take this issue as far as I can because not only did my son break his finger inside the classroom, the school totally neglected to call me.
So.. DH begins to try to convince me how this won't go anywhere and all I'm gonna do is bring more stress into my life.. that No matter how much I do nothing at the school will change.
I asked him if he would go to the school with me and stand by me to help me argue about my son's injury and DH simply says he wants no part of it. He will not bring this stress into his life.
Wow.. I felt like I got punched in the face.
I didn't even know how to react to such neglect on his part.
He said.. "go to the school..tell them whatever you want.. this is your battle.. I want no part of it."
So there I was.. alone in this issue. I did go to the school and told the principal all I wanted to say..but I was so hurt by his attitude that it all felt like I was in some kind of a haze.
I'm so hurt by his behavior.
When I got home he than asks me how it went with the principal..
I told him that since he wasn't willing to help me with this issue than why did he care what happened. He got pissed off ...said he couldn't take my attitude.. got in his car and drove out.
Came back hours later.
Am I the crazy one here or is this a total mind f*ck?
Now..if something like this had happened to SD than I'm sure he would probably even hire a lawyer to defend her.
But since its my son..than it should just be forgotten about it.
Does this sound wrong to anyone else out there? Or am I being too sensitive?
Later this afternoon when I told him I valued a man that had courage and "balls".. he told me that I should go find a man like that to make me happy.
Wow.. another knockouts..
Emotinal abuse hurts a lot too..
Please.. I really need some good advice!
Thanks so much for reading!!
Dear echo.. You are
Dear echo..
You are absolutely right..and I did go to the school by myself and handled it.
What hurt the most was the fact that he didn't support me because he said it wasn't worth the headache.
And yes.. I cant get used to the fact that he thinks its my job to do all the house work and cook and serve everyone.
He says we all have "roles"..his role is to pay the bills and my role is to be the housewife. Now..that means that I have to clean, cook, do laundry, take care of my son and of DH. Believe it or not if I go spend a day at my mom's, when I come back all the dishes are dirty in the sink, there's clothes all over the floor, all the beds unmade and he usually had a huge frown on his face because I didn't leave anything ready in the fridge.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
And I'm seriously considering moving out in the summer..
You nailed it! Thank you!! I
You nailed it!
Thank you!! I really really needed to hear that.
Fuck him. Ball-less wonder.
Fuck him. Ball-less wonder. And as far as his breakfast goes...I'd serve it to him in bed...over his head with an extra hot cup of coffee. Cut him out and shut him down.
LOL!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!!!!!
Why are you in a relationship
Why are you in a relationship with this man who doesn't seem to want more than a maid and housekeeper?
