I’m sorry they chose this. You are a good mother and if they can’t see past their fathers bs it is their loss. You keep you head held up, you know in your heart you did the right thing and you are wronged for being a lady and a good person. Eventually your daughters will come to their senses.

I don’t think they will. They are slowly being poisoned, I’m afraid. When I think about the text he sent to my youngest daughter, it just proves it….remember….I’m clinically insane….HE and his WTC are the wronged people in the equation. UGH.

I think he is, too. I would have never in a hundred years, believed that the daughters I raised, would choose a lying, cheating, disease-giving scumbag and another one of his WTCs over me.

Even for a stranger (me) it is hard to believe. I mean, ok you want your father’s attention and love, and if by having it that means accepting his relationship with that lady, ok. BUT shunning your mother and breaking contact with her. That is horrible and unacceptable! You did nothing to them to be treated this way. They should be ashamed by how they are reacting.

You always want the attention and affection from the parent who denied it to you. He was hardly ever around when they were young and when he was around, he was a nasty bully. They know he was unfaithful (many times) but they don’t seem to care. He’s trying to pretend to be a good daddy now (to impress his WTC) and they can’t see that it’s an act. My thoughts…..if those “people” are who they want….they can have them.
