Vent..Oh I am angry!!

[Mom2Deacon]

DH calls the kids on Sundays. Occasionally I will speak with him. Today I did and he was telling me about how he has resumed taking Judo classes. He also told me he got his two associates degrees from the Air Force this past Thursday and this is what he said, "Now I can prove that I have done something with the first half of my life." :eek: So, I guess me and the kids and the 10 years we have been married do not count. Then he tells me this. "I am proud of you for taking care of the kids so well." Well somebody has to!! I am so angry right now. There are times I doubt my decision to leave. I thought I was going crazy when I left him last October. I have had to remind myself that he left us emotionally long before I walked out of our house with the kids. Today, I am wondering what in the name he is thinking. He has obviously gotten what he wanted which is not to be a family man. Let Sara handle it all and I can do whatever I want. And the kids and me are the ones who are hurting because of it. I am so mad after his comments today. Just so angry. Okay I have vented. I am off to take my sweethearts out to food shop.

I hope you guys have a fun time shopping.

The kids and I did have fun today. We went food shopping, grabbed milkshakes, saw a few more garage sales, etc.. I am still angry though. I am angry that he seems to care that little. I am angry at myself for constantly being surprised by it even though he has been proving just that time and again. I am not as angry as I was earlier today though. Sigh. I never though I would be in the position to think that I was better off without him.

Sara,

I am so sorry you are going thru this. As a "retired Navy wife" I know what it's like to be a military spouse (my DH retired). I've also seen plenty of spouses behaving just like that. One day soon, hopefully he'll realize what a jerk he's being. Just keep your chin up and hang tough. Good luck.
