I Want To Scream!!!

I got a text this afternoon from DH that he is flying up to visit SD15 on 1/12 after work and flying back on 1/13 evening all because SD15 has some final project presentation in her theater class that parents are invited to and he wants to go.

I texted back to remind him that I’m going in for a colonoscopy on 1/13. (For the past year, I’ve been suffering from severe abdominal and digestive problems and I’ve been putting of having a colonoscopy to check for microscopic colitis.) I finally scheduled it to get it over with and picked up all the supplies for the “prep” at the pharmacy today.

He texted back that he knew I had the colonoscopy and that someone else could drive me and it all worked out since he already was taking the day off work.

I’m not sure what would be worse - him not remembering or the fact that he knew about it and decided to fly out of state to visit his brat of a daughter anyways.

I’m so livid I want to scream!!! I’m going to have to reschedule since the last thing I want is to be home with only my son during the prep or to ask someone else to drive me.

SD15 is barely speaking to DH and has told him she wants him to leave her alone and him out of her life. Despite how big of a hateful, disrespectful brat she’s been to him, he keeps going out of his way to try to win her back. It’s utterly pathetic. He says he wants to go to this school thing since he’s been looking for ways to be more involved and to show he’s interested in what she’s doing. :sick:

After the way she acted (SD15‘s behavior was so bad when she was living with us that I will no longer allow her to live in my home and she’s living with an aunt & uncle in another state), the only way SD15 should see her dad is if she comes crawling back and apologizes for her actions and beg for forgiveness. But DH is acting like some pathetic teenage boy who’s desperate for a girl to like him and trying anything to impress her. It’s disgusting.

I’m absolutely dreading having to do the colonoscopy and I had to psyche myself up to finally make the appointment by convincing myself that hopefully I’ll have a diagnosis and can start feeling better this year. Last year was so bad I want to put it past me and start feeling better and taking better care of myself.

I completely believe all the stress from dealing with SD15 has caused all my abdominal problems and now more problems thanks to SD15.

His excuse is that he's going to "miss his daughter growing up" but he's completely ignorant of the fact that it's his daughter's fault and his poor parenting skills that let her turn into such a hateful brat.

I feel for you!!! But you shouldn't put off that test. You need to start taking care of you!! If he is so blind as to see that you really need him then it's his loss, I would make sure to return the favor and not be there for him next time he is sick and being a huge baby as all men are when they get sick!! Please for yourself go get the test hun!!!

I would have loved it, and so would my Skid, if anyone from his SpermClan had ever made even the slightest attempt to participate in his REAL life by traveling to participate or watch even one of his special occassion activities. So, conceptually, I have no problem with your DH traveling to participate in his daughters special event.

Now for the big finish on my oppinion of your original post...... As someone who has been through a colonoscopy or two .... if your DH does not cancel his trip to see the theater production and does not pamper you during the prep, transportation, execution and recovery of yoru colonoscopy then you need to let him know that he had better not make the mistake of falling asleep when you recover because you will sew him in to bed and beat the snot out of him with a baseball bat until he looks like a smurf from the black and blue marks.

Get the test and inform your husband that he WILL be there.

Enjoy the pre-colonoscopy drugs. They are pretty good. Wink

That's AWFUL. I'm a complete stranger and if you lived close enough I'D drive you there, and I don't mind a little extra babysitting Smile
Your DH needs to get his head out of his ass. This trip is going to be an enormous waste of money, apparently she's made it clear to everyone but him that she doesn't want him in her life. He also needs to realize he's doing incredible damage to the woman who WANTS him involved in her life. What an ass
