Temper tantrum..

Mine
So after missing some of my childrens Christmas (the day and party they spent with ex's family) I'm pissed off that my children will have holidays, birthdays, maybe vacations even someday wthout me.. I WANT to be a part of their everything - I dont want them to have memories that I'm not involved in. I dont want to share - I dont want time without them - I dont want him to reap the benefits of my parenting while he parades them for his visits and feeds them junkfood and lets them watch tv the whole time. I dont want to be the 'bad guy' by wanting them to eat well, not get stupid loud toys with a million pieces, play instead of watch tv.. I dont want his girlfriend in their lives - I want to know who my kids are playing with and when, and not hear from my four year old days later of situations I would not allow.
I wanted a partner in life to raise my children.... because he wanted his freakin girlfriend instead, I now have a stranger who doesnt speak to me that I'm court ordered to hand my children to.
ARRRRGHHHH

I feel your pain mama. I also didn't want to do this whole divorce/custody/coparenting thing, and yet, here I am. Yuck.

Oh I so understand The idea of having to share my son kills me. My husband hasn't been here, hasn't done the night wakings, the early mornings, meals, bath time, etc. etc. etc. Why do I have to share when *I* am the parent?
