I just can't believe that he is this way, it just really pisses me off and it shouldn't, I should be at that place where it doesn't matter.

Sunday night I was on the phone with a friend when 17yo D yells in that she is going with a friend to show him something. She has shorts on and a sweatshirt, not well dressed for the time of year. I nod, she leaves. I get off the phone and she is not back, another hour still not home and so goes the rest of the night.

I am mad as all get out but scared, she's missing. They had been talking about mudding (4 wheeling) it's been real wet here and the mud is great, the place most people go is 45 minutes or so away, didn't think that was where she went, but asked for a sheriff to go look. Nothing. I drove some of the roads around here. Nothing.

I call her dad at 2:30 am, knowing that he can't do anything but just didn't think that I should be pacing by myself. She answered the phone and said "It's Dawn" that probably didn't help my mood. He said ok what did you want me to do, told him I thought he should know asked him what the punishment be if she is ok. Said he didn't care, I said that you've never liked the way I disicpline that is why I am asking.

Called x back at 6:30 am it's been 8 hours and I am scared now, no sleep!!! After he finally woke up I stated must of been a peaceful night for you, your daughter is still missing!!! So, is his reply. I just hang up, I can't believe the lack of care or concern.

She called at 7 am right after my dad and son start a search. They had gotten stuck in mud and snow, about a mile from where I had turned around. They are ok, just took a while to walk out. He had walked out the night before and got a shotgun pulled when he went to a door to ask to use the phone. So went back to daughter. They were both ok, he had lots of clothes in the truck. Needless to say they got there butts chewed out by my dad and me!!!

I had her call her dad later, she just shook her head for his lack of concern!!!!

He is to be here again next week as daughter, same one is having heart surgery on the 26th. I don't even want him here or see him. I have been here for everything else with her not him and now he is going to come and gets to be the hero!!! UGH!!!! I hate it!!!!

This same daughter has been diganosed with Fibromyalgia, it's the cronk pain disease. She has been in constant pain since her car accident back in Nov. Like I said I am the one that has always been here for her through 2 surgerys, the migarines, 2 bouts of mono, the car accident, the heart condition. And he gets to be the hero!!!!! It's just not fair!!!! What has happened to the man I married and loved!!!!

I'm tired... so tell me what I missed, k? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

How is it that your H gets to be the "hero" in all of this? I missed that part. And that's what's bugging you, right?

Your H is an [censored]. We all know that. Sorry if I'm offending... but he's proven himself time and time again. He's only acting EXACTLY the way he has been for a LONG time.

I bet you're where I am at with my H... it doesn't matter what they do... they'll still piss us off! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> If they do "bad", then we get upset b/c they haven't learned anything. And if they do "good", we get upset b/c we wish they could have done that before this whole mess began!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

(((((((( Dawn )))))))))

I'm glad that your dd is okay. And I'll be thinking of you both next week. Be sure to keep us posted on her progess. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thanks to you both!!!!

It just all gets to you sometimes, you know!!!!

The hero thing comes from me always being here and no big deal to him coming into town and everything stops so the kids can spend time with their dad!!!

I'm pretty sure my kids know who the real hero is, they just forget to tel me!!! As what I do is no big deal it's just what mom does!!!!

I will keep everyone posted next week, may need some venting time that's for sure!!!!

Love to all,
Dawn <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
