Looking Forward

Making a better life for me and my kids

Tired of worrying

Found on X’s Facebook toady, that he is, indeed applying for the bar exam in my state. He asked older son to help a relative with some furniture that he’s buying for “when he gets back”. So, I guess now I need to figure out a way to prepare for his inevitable return and physical presence in my life.

I’m dreading this. I’m in knots about this. I’m ready to cry at the drop of a hat over this. I don’t want him here and around my kids. I don’t want him pretending he gives a shit about his boys when the last 2 1/2 years has clearly shown he doesn’t care. I feel sick. There is nothing I can do. They haven’t even served him, as far as I can tell – so I can’t even file court papers to help keep D from having to go visit him if he doesn’t want to. I can’t start accruing owed child support. I can’t do anything.

I want to warn the kids that their dad has a problem, that he manipulates and bullies, and makes empty promises. I want to tell them that they can have whatever relationship they want to have with him – I’m not going to get in the way of it – but I want  them to know that he’s not a mentally healthy person. I have no idea how to tell them that, or if I even should.

I’m just so tired of worrying.
