Full of anger and resentment (HELP)

Stopmomdez's picture

I'm so full of resentment and anger that I'm ready to end it.  A little background... I am 49 and have 3 grown children 26,28,30. I have been with my husband almost 7yrs. He has 2 girls..8 and 12. Their bio mom has only been in their lives for the last couple years. So I was the one who potty trained..taught to shower, tie shoes, read, etc etc. My husband had to work out of town alot. At first it was only suppose to be a week. Then a week turned into months, then a year. I made it clear that I didn't want to raise anymore children. But somehow I have become the only parent. I have talked to my husband many times and expressed how he was putting me in positions idid not want to be in and I was becoming resentful about it. He would try and be better for a day or too then right back to non existent.  For example...since girls were 4and 8..he would just pick girls up from daycare drop them off at home and leave...all night. Then as girls got a little older...he feels it perfectly fine to leave them for like 12 to 24 hours straight. I feel that's wrong. So I'm stuck again taking care of his responsibilities. Don't know what to do!!!

He using you,  perfectly normal to be "" full of resentment and anger that I'm ready to end it ""  I would be too.  End it.  Tell your DH is he leaves his kids with you again you will call CPS. And let them take the kids .  You are not the unpaid babysitter.

I'm always more expensive as a babysitter than the exwife these negligent dads pay child support to. 
 

Once I realized I was being used as the free nanny, chauffeur, etc. I bluntly told him my rates (more expensive than the child support paid to the ex) so therefore it was cheaper to have the ex take care of the kids she's paid to take care of AND I always leave the house same time he leaves so he gets the point "ain't no free nanny services here" so if he neglect them on his parenting time that's on him. 
 

If he refuses to listen to your concern, like posted above, one anonymous call to CPS will most likely scare him straight.

First $250 due at instant of requested service by the requesting partner.  Second $250 due at 60 minutes and .0000001 seconds.  Interest applies instantly and compounds continuously at 100% per minute prorated by the second.

Those that pay CS should make damned sure they are getting return on what they pay the CP for.  Anyone in a relationship with a CS payer, has to make damned sure their mate is getting return on the marital resources paid to the CP.

Fortunately, we were the CP side and the NCP side paid next to nothing.  Our focus was on minimizing the toxicity from the shallow and polluted end of the Skid's gene pool.
