I'm having a bad night...

I am so filled with hate and anger towards ex-Fi right now that it is hard to describe.

I hate how I feel as if I missed the first 4 months of LOs life. That time is gone to me now and I have nothing to show for it except misery and anger and loneliness. 

I hate that he is mad because I think he will try to dodge helping to pay for LO. Since I've mostly supported his A$$ for almost 4 freaking years I believe I am justified in my thinking he will do so

 I hate that he didn't tell me that he didn't pay some of my lab work bills due back in March and I only found the notices this week while cleaning the desk and packing his stuff. I spent the last of my meager savings paying off those bills. 

I hate that he started filling in LO's baby book and convinced me not to do her newborn handprints just footprints which are double imaged because he didn't want to do a trial run on plain paper first. Now those prints are lost to me forever because he already took her baby book since I didn't fill anything in yet. 

I hate how he is already trying to tell me he has changed when I realized how much better off I am with out him. I don't ever want to see him again and don't trust him to provide LO with the care she needs. I really want to say that he can only have visitation under my parents supervision. 

I hate how LO needs prescription formula for milk/soy protein allergy and will also need a helmet. How the heck am I suppose to pay for this when she and I live on $1400 a month. I've already got all the government aid I can except subsidized child care (which I can't get because we don't have an open child support case). I can't believe I have to do this on my own because he couldn't get off his butt and get a freaking job to help me.

I hate that he wasn't here for me during the pregnancy and blame him for my blood pressure sky rocketing at the end because not only was I taking care of myself and the apartment but him also. I was supposed to be on bed rest but had to get up to get my own food and drink which need cooking...so I probably should have told my doctor to leave me at the hospital on bedrest. 

I hate that I have wasted 5 years of my life with him when someone better could have been standing right next to me. Someone who would have been a partner. 

 I hate that he played the suicidal card on me and I actually believed him and begged him not to hurt himself. 

 Part of me wants him to show up tonight so I can say all this to him but I know he is way off on the rig site. SO I am very tempted to write him an email with all this but I am going to be opening a child support case with or without his consent because I think it would be in Keira's best interest.

I really want to just hold LO while she sleeps and calm down but she griped at me when I tried just a little while ago so I guess I'll need something else to calm me down. I don't know where this anger came from but I am furious with him for wasting so much of my time and energy.

    I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I'm not having a good night myself. I was just diagnosed this week and started meds. My fiance conveniently is "sick" this week and also managed to have a 'mental breakdown' while I was at the doctors. I'm not even sure who I'm supposed to talk to about any of this because I don't want to air my dirty laundry to my family or most of my friends.

     I hope you feel better. Feel free to PM me for an email addy/chat sn if you need to talk.

    I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this.  I know at least part of it.  I missed the first 9 months of my son's life because of the PPP.  I don't remember much of it at all, so I feel your pain.  As for the rest, open a case.  Why do you need his consent?  He should be taking responsibility.  

    Are you on medication?  Are you seeing a psych?  One ore both would probably benefit you.   

    Take it easy and take care of yourself.
