    The Weekend

    Lets see, what happened for the weekend?

    Got back Friday evening, dropped everyone off at the house, we all went in to see the dogs. Unloaded the luggage.
    She disapeared off upstairs on the phone, after some frantic texting in the car. Got fed up with waiting for her to appear. So asked for my cashpoint card back, which I had given her the previous Sunday, then me and the youngest headed off to the flat.

    Not long after the Ex rings up and says she has got no money and no food in the house, and no car.

    She then starts to go off on one.

    On the previous Sunday , she had complained to be out of money, I had given her my card for my emergency funds, but had warned her that that was all I had for us to use for the weekend when we got home and the following week for her.   

    She had opted to go and buy the kids new outfits for the trip away, so had got through half of the money. When i said I was using it to get myself some shopping she was not happy. Then she went on about her having no food and them both being hungry.

    So I  said well I'll get you some food and drop it off at the house, she goes well I do not care about, myself but our daughter is hungry. Again I ask what they want so I can drop it off. Daughter asks for a curry and then the Ex just asks for some bread, she had brought some nice cheese at the airport.

    this is what I dropped off.

    The next day, went round to pick up the daughter, the Ex was moaning about being hungry, but youngest said, I heard you on the phone to Dad saying that not to bother about you. So whay are you complaining.

    Anyway, potter around the house for a couple of hours, sorting a few things out and getting the halloween gear from the loft, all the time she was in her room hiding away, on the computer or phone.

    I eventually say well we are off. She comes running out of her room, saying she needs the car. I say well it has been sat out there for 3 hours, you should of used it we are off now.

    We went up to the flat and carved Pumpkins
      

    the ghost was done by the youngest and me. The clown was the daughter by herself.

    Then later we had to go back to the house for the kids to finalise their outfits.

    I took the daughter to her friends, to go trick or treating, whilst I took the youngest out around our streets, yes I dress up as well.
    Then I took him to his party he had been invited to.
    The Ex who had calmed down now, the eldest and the GF went out for an Italians.

    Dropped them back at the house, and went to retrieve the other two and headed back to the flat. Where we vegitated and watched Doctor Who. some great episodes when the Darleks want to destroy the whole universe. got to admire their ambition.

    sunday we surface late, and were having breakfast when she rings. Asking for some help at the house.

    Eventually get the kids motivated, they seem none to keen to get there. the ex also suggested that we had tea at the house, so gave me a shopping list, which i went and got.

    the shower drain was blocked. so cleaned that. Also again duvet cover problems, so fitted that. Daughter had been invited to her friends for 2:00. asked if there was anything else that needed doing, she said she felt totally exhausted, that the Prat is hassling her and wearing her out, she is fed up with him and he will not leave her alone. I explained if you keep responding then he will keep on going.

    so I started hoovering, but I noticed every time I walked through the kitchen, she turned her computer away, so I put the hoover away, and said right then kids, lets get off to the flat. she goes why now what about the other stuff.
    I said Ido not mind helping if you are run down. But if you are just going to sit their farting on with that arsehole on line I am off, bye. And left

    Dropped the daughter off and me and the youngest went and played lego.

    eventually she rings up and asks if we have eaten, I say no still waiting for the daughter. she says she will cook tea after all.

    pick up daughter and head to the house. We all have a family tea.

    GF looks shattered, apparently her Dad is ignoring her, he has himself a new Thia Bride, and no longer has the time for his daugter.

    Anyway clear up tea, and then help the Ex with her computer.

    She wants to change all the passwords for email accounts that the Prat knows. also this filesharing service he got her to pay for. hecking the down load history, it would look like he has been using it. I also changed the router password.

    Then me and the youngest headed off to the flat, as did the eldest and GF

    We watched x factor and scrapheap challenge.

    Wanted to say something to GF about her Dad, but could not decide what the best appraoch was, so said nothing.

    Anyway once I was in bed, the Ex rings, and says how hard it is to shake the Prat, and how she now regrets the fact that on his request she deleted all her other contacts. But then how someone else has said that they would meet her in London so that they could go and visit a gallery. She is thinking of doing a day trip on the train. She said she realised from day one that the Prat was a Prat, but allowed her self to go along with it, fooling herself as to his true intentions. And now feels so stupid. And will everyone just try and use her and all of this sort of thing. So she has spent the whole weekend feeling sorry for herself.

    It was sad really as when we were in Paris, there were some moments she appeared really happy. She was telling us about the musee D'Orsay and just playing on with the kids.

    Anyway Monday again am back in Paris

    I guess it's all a bit raw for you still, focusing on being a Dad is good though, I don't think I know any divorced dads who don't have dark times.

    Busy weekends are the best. Dead time equals thinking time. And there darkness lurks

    I was married until the divorce.
    Now techincally a single man, though not really yet grapsed the concept.
    So I simply class myself as a Dad these days, and focus on that

    aw bless her !! ah you are right that yes although we think all parents feel the same they are often a little different from us - sometimes if the moment has gone - i think that life has a way of stopping from doing things, something we really shouldnt.. glad she has got your son !! some of us girls at one stage or another do get left out by our parents without anyone - i had a xmas day with their invite when i was 21 and by myself ~x~

    I was going to try to explain, that although at the moment perhaps her Dad seems wrapped up in his new life, does not mean that he loves her any less. Problem is I have never met her Dad, so do not know if that would sound like complete drivel, and may not be a good approach to take.

    The Ex says she will try and have a chat with her tonight
