Father’s Day vent

It was also 2 months ago when skid24 totally lost it and was delusional. To get the background just read my previous blog. 

Skid always annoys me on Father’s Day, how he does nothing for his dad and expects DH to take him and whoever is girlfriend is out to eat and whatever activities such as the driving range. Never does anything for his dad. 

This year I knew that there would not even be time spent with his dad. He texted late morning saying “Happy Father  Day”. DH said thanks and asked him how are things. Skid never responded. I took the text to be a slight to his dad, but DH is pathetically hoping that he can mend things with his crazy NPD son. He was mad and mopey, so I left for the afternoon, since it just seems worse if I even try to cheer DH up. Also I have a hard time being supportive of DH’s disfunctional relationship with his son. 

My DH was so upset this evening he broke down in tears and said he wasted the last 24 years of his life. All I could do was hug him and let him know that l love him. 

But part of me is mad at DH for the way his son is, I think it’s his fault that skid is so entitled and his fault for not recognizing mental illness when he was younger so treatment could have been sought. I also get mad at skid for putting his dad through this. I don’t know how to be there for my husband under the circumstances. 

I can honestly say I hate skid24.

Still not being treated.   Nothing you can do. When prople don’t learn from there mistakes.  That doing the same thing will get the same results.  Like DH and SS in playing ping pong of life.

He wasted the last 24 years of his life? Was he expecting to get some payback for parenting his kid? 

That’s a very self-centered viewpoint.

I feel for him. SS25 has let 2 father's days go by without even a text to his father. And SD8 made it all about her and ruined the whole day acting like a fucking brat. My DH was in tears too; the only good thing for him was having his 1st father's day with our son (which SD8 did her best to ruin, and succeeded), and seeing his own father after he nearly died a few months ago. I could have dragged SD8 by her ear and chucked her in the car and dragged her kicking and screaming back to her mother's for the way she behaved and spoke to her father and the way she was so nasty to our son (a baby). Who picks on a fucking baby?! Foul little brat. The vile smirk she had on her face when DH got upset. She started to cry (after she got in trouble) pretending she was sorry, when really she was just upset because she was in trouble.
