Their father picked them up this morning for his every-other-weekend and started to pull away from the curb. He paused a few feet up the street and my daughter (12) opened her window and said the youngest (5) forgot to hug me. I could hear him in the back seat saying “Mama – I didn’t get to hug you – – ” And then his dad drove away.
Totally, totally fucked up way to live. I feel it in my stomach, my arms, my eyes, my throat.

I’m really sorry mama. I couldn’t imagine but it hurts me too just to think of how you felt. I hope you can somehow enjoy the weekend.

I feel your pain – because my life is just like yours. My former husband is a self-centered bastard as well, and would do anything to “HURT” me, not caring that it is hurting his child as well.

It’s hard, and it sucks, and it’s not how we thought or wanted it to be.
