At some point I am going to have to change my username AGAIN cause he probably already knows this one. Jerk. I know this may seem small on the scale of things, but I am steaming.......we had a grand birthday party for my little one. I invited everyone - his family and friends. When I say grand I mean GRAND. I spent weeks planning for it, flew to the state where he and both our families are, etc. etc. His part was to send thank you cards to five people who I did not have addresses for - all his friends or family. (Note I did send thank yous to his people that I did have addresses for, not only that I bought presents for all those kids and planned a great party for them). Anyway, MONTHS have gone by and he has not managed to send the cards out. This makes me so mad, because I feel it is a bad reflection of me and even my daughter. Now he wants me to fly across the country, to meet him with my little one, so he can take her to a family event. I told him I am not booking anything if he does not send out those thank you cards. It is much more work for me to spend an entire day flying, and entire day flying back, not to mention money and time planning - then for him to put 2 cards in the mail which he somehow - with his fancy education - can't manage to get addresses for!!!!!! I can't stand him. Here I am trying to do him a favor and he is hanging up the phone on me and has not been able to do anything I have asked.

He's your common, classic abuser and you just can't work w/an abuser, you really can't. You can't reason w/them because they have to be in control and it has to be their way or the highway. It's almost as if they try to deem it necessary to make our life a living hell, just so they can still try to obtain as much control as possible. He's just your common, classical abuser hun regardless how you slice it. And it's not rocket science to obtain an address, write it on the envelope, put a stamp on it and stick it in the mailbox. But yet, I'm sure he sees it the other way around.
