It is with a somewhat heavy heart that my DH and I have separated....yet again. He actually walked out a week ago today & took the car I had been driving & left me with a broken down vehicle, past due bills, a flooded basement, clogged toilets & no bed.....and of course our 4 little one's.....3 whom have been sick with the stomach flu and fevers off and on all week.
He showed up to pick my oldest DD up 2 mornings in a row to take her to School, but I/we have not heard from him since. He was supposed to pick up my oldest DD to take her shopping for a school friend's Birthday Party and then to the Party on Saturday, but he never called or showed up. My DD waited all day. I have not "badmouthed" their Father, but I feel so bad that he is not "following through" with his responsibilities as a Father.
After going without transportation for 3 days, I had my Van towed to a shop & paid to get it fixed, but it has to be registered this month & some more work done on it. It is going to cost around $1,500.00 to fix. It has been running through gas like nothing....about $15.00 a day to run my other 2 children to their School's & pick them all up. I found out today that he bought another new vehicle (2008 HHR).....he just bought a 2005 Chevy 2 months ago.My Sister's Friend drove by his Dad's House & saw it today.
I am VERY overwhelmed and quite discouraged right now. Without divulging too many details, I will tell you that I have put up with more then anybody should with this or any man. He has moved out 3 times in the past, and usually takes EVERYTHING with him when he goes. (Everything is his after all) This time, he took our bed, our brand new big screen TV, surround sound stuff, and about 100 DVD's. Luckily he was stopped before he could empty out the House or he would have.
If you can believe it I am most upset that he took all of my Children's DVD's.We had quite a collection of Disney & other's that my Children loved. Especially my little movie addict Maggie, she is very upset that she cannot watch "her" movies.
I am takeing each day as it comes, and hope that my deep feelings of sadness and anger will pass so that I can feel better and be there for my Children as they deserve me to be.
I once again want to apologize for not thanking each of you who sent me a Flood Card. Through everything that has been happening this week I have felt so guilty about not acknowledging you all, but it has taken every ounce of my energy to just make it through the day. Know though that I appreciate you all!
Julie
