Obsessing

Do his friends really support him in NOT coming to see me or his newborn son in the hospital? Do the people in his life really think that the way he's treating me (and his baby) is okay? Right, even? Really? Because I do not understand a person treating another human being this way. Particularly not one's wife and newborn child. I just cannot comprehend it. Who are you? Who are these people?

When do the paternity tests come back? Do you think he will feel sad when he realizes he missed it all?

He hasn't bothered to come take one. I'm guessing because he doesn't want to have to be around me. He doesn't even care to come see him. He says he will be happy when Parker can come with them. I don't know if he will ever realize what he has done. I honestly do not know.

He is sad. People that condemn you for making the same mistakes they are soon to make... make me sick.

What is the saying? Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house? He feels justified in his wrongdoings because he is trying to get back at you and hurt you. Wrong is WRONG no matter the motivation or justification!!! He needs to repent and abstain until everything is cleared up with you, the kids and Parker.

We are praying for you. Keep in close contact with your Bishop and continue to love your children. FIGHT for your custody and ask for the majority of it under these grounds. Sadly, men walk away from responsibility when there is sex involved. NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. Men are shortsighted where as women are planners.

PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. Take your chance to grieve. YOU deserve it.

Hi Amber. I'm now reading the whole blog, and I have to say, I just feel so sad and so sick about it. :-( What a painful journey, and thinking of your six beautiful kids - I know R is angry but I do not understand how he (and other men I know) can just "turn it off" when they're hurt or angry. Even if (and I'm sorry to say this) he doesn't choose to forgive you and he has decided (or his penis has decided for him) that he is not over-the-moon in-love, you and he are adults and can move on. But those children - ALL of them - need their dad so much. From the beginning, and throughout. Picking and choosing time with them just doesn't cut it. There are times that he'll never get back and I believe their souls feel it and know it. I'm in a tough position now, possibly with tough decisions to make, and I have to say that reading your story is resonating with me and helping me. So in a sideways way (as I know that is not why you're sharing your story), thank you. And I'm so sorry for judgements that I have made. Forever sorry.
