Guilty Dad Syndrome Yet Again!!

So many emotions going on right now...one minute I'm sad and hurt that my marriage is ending, then the next I'm pissed that my DH is such a complete idiot when it comes to SS13. Talking to him earlier, just chatting, trying to be nice I ask what he got SS13 for Christmas, and low and behold he tells me a Kindle Fire. It took every bit of will power I had to keep my filter in place and say "Oh, wow that's great he'll really like that". What I was really thinking was you are such a DUMBASS!! First of all you're wasting your time trying to by the ungrateful little brats love. Second of all he won't appreciate it and I'm sure BM will have given him something even better. Third it will get broken as soon as he takes it to BM's house because he could give a rat's ass and it will end up broken. I ask again...Why must these dad's feel so guilty over their ungrateful kids? I know I sound bitter and right now I probably really am. I'm certainly not expecting DH to buy me a gift but I really just want to grab him and shake him and make him see how he acts. This is the reason I had so much resentment built up I let it spill over to SS and now DH and I are separated.

I'm right there with ya, sister! What I don't get is when you call them out on this shit, they think you're nuts. If I NEVER hear the words, "I know my son, and he NEEDS me, ever again I just may kill the son-of-a-bitch that dared utter them! And then I'll plead PTSD at my hearing.

Sounds like we have the same DH and SS!! DH and his whole family and BM's family all treat SS like "Oh poor baby his mommy and daddy are divored so we must bow down to him, give him everything he wants." Well I call bullshit on that, my parents are divored too and I NEVER acted like that.

95% of non custodial biodads and 90% of custodial biodads are like this.

Lesson?

Never date a man who has cast his swimmers successfully into the egg of another uterus.
