WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!????!!!!!

Dude, you’re screwing this up.

Shall I go back to your only granddaughter’s birthday party you didn’t bother to attend?

Or that your daughter wanted to spend some time with you on her 18th birthday and you were too busy? The whole fucking weekend? And then you send her a birthday card in the goddamn mail. A birthday card. You live less than 5 miles away and you couldn’t be bothered to make time for her?

SHE WAS CRUSHED!

You know how sensitive she is. And yet you not only send a stupid card with an old dead $20 bill, you sign it from both you and your new girlfriend. Whom she’s barely met. The same woman you once put on the phone to berate your daughter for something that had nothing to do with her. Beyond tacky.

You can’t take the time to drop in to her work (do you even know where she works now?) or make a date or get together in some way?

I know you’re still bitter but you remember those classes we had to take (and you really should know this without a class) where they EMPHASIZED you don’t take your ex-spouse feelings out on your kids. EVER!

I don’t trash talk you to the kids, I do it elsewhere. Wish I could say the same for you. You want to know why they barely talk to you? Think about it. You’re doing this to yourself. I encourage them to call you, to try and make plans because it’s the right thing to do. But when you do bother to answer the phone, you’re either too busy to make a date or you trash me. Fucking get over it and try, TRY to be a father.

Do you even care your son is back in Iraq? Did you make any effort when he was here? Have you made any effort at ALL with any of them? And to keep trying, considering they barely had a relationship with you when we were together.

It’s not their place to make the effort. You’re their father. It’s your fucking JOB!

Well, I sure hope you’re enjoying whatever it is you are doing. It ain’t parenting.
