Maybe I should care, but...

Truth be it told I don't. I could really careless that my POS rat bastard of an ex is having financial difficulty right now. And that he "can"t" find employment. Uh yeah...whatever. What gets me is he really believes that none of this is his fault. Well...let's see...if he hadn't of screwed around and got fired from the job he had for the last 15 years for numerous safety violations then he would still be employed,right? Right. And that is the truth. It is his fault. HE KNEW BETTER than to do the things he did.  But you know...sometimes the need to be selfish outweighs the need for common sense.

The reason I said that is because...he had it in his head that because he had let me and his girlfriend stay home for however long, we owe him. We owed him for wanting to stay home and take care of HIS kids. Forgive me, but maybe I am old schooled in this area. I firmly believe that if the man is capable of working a fulltime job then there is absolutely no reason a woman should have to go to work. Unless of course that full time job just isn't cutting the bills and the like. There are exceptions to the rule. But he doesn't have the right to think we owe him. And yes, this came from his own mouth.

Then he is on this kick that all's I want is $$$ whenever I ask him to help with the kids financially. Now you jhave to understand. I never ask him for help with ANYTHING unless it pertains to the kids. I learned that lesson years ago. But now he thinks it's me and by saying "no" to me he's screwing with me. No...he is totally screwing his kids. Me personally could careless if he helps or not. Honestly. The kids are old enough now,that they are slowly coming around to seeing him for what he really is. But Derek...

Takes care of these kids. Feeds, clothes, and houses them. Kisses boo-boo's and wipes away tears. And has never once asked for any kind of financial help from the ex or otherwise. He does it because he wants to. He enjoys being able to see us happy. And he also pays his own child support every week. Never once questioning what his ex did with it. I think that if nothing else shouldn't my ex want to help the man who is taking primary care of his children. On a day to day basis. And now that they are all getting older there are other needs that have to be met. Maybe it's just me...I dunno.

I do know that I couldn't keep quiet like Derek has. And haven't. Needless to say I have my ex so pissed off that he won't even talk to me. GOOD!!! Less drama for me that way...
