i wish he would leave | sadgreeneyedgirl's Blog

Oh, SadGreen, I soooo sympathize with you on this! My wife and I will argue, and she will run off to our bedroom upstairs and leave me to figure out dinner for everyone (we have four kids). Then she'll yell at me for not coming to her or ignoring her, and I will be like "well somebody has to care for our children!"

It irritates me. I played referee again, twice, last night. He doesn't treat our little boy like this...yet. And as badly as I hate to say it, girls are more fragile with their emotions. Why some men cannot figure that out is beyond me. Especially girls at her age.

Oh you know it! Is your boy older than your girl? Our oldest is our only girl, and I knew from the start that she was Daddy's Little Girl. ;-)

My little boy is younger. My daughter is definitely no daddy's girl. Both of my kids are mommy's.

Wow! I can't believe that! A father who doesn't cling to his first-born girl??? {{{{hugs}}}}

my story exactly...

so he would grab her and get in her face and grit his teeth while scolding her...he has had her up against the wall...he worked 3rd for 9 yrs, and then got no sleep...so he was a ****...to me but worse, her...i finally came to hate him...almost left, wanted to leave. she cried and didn't want us to split up, yet he was ugly...i drifted away from him. i agreed to not leave...but he had to get better, he changed shifts, which is a start, but she is now exactly like him, hardened, angry. at age 12...he doesn't like to be blamed, but its going to take a long time for me to fall back in love completely with him...thats why im on ep, i try to escape and talk to friends...i can't stand the still occasional fighting...he keeps his hands off her, but still occasionally calls her names...i lived with it with my mother, i don't want to put my daughter through it. i promised myself i wouldnt let it happen...its going to take time...

I'm so sorry. that sounds very familiar. I lived with my parents a couple times to get away.

I was going to say I don't know you well enough,but truthfully,I don't know you at all,and I should probably not be commenting here and now,but being the father of two little girls,your short blog entry has stirred up a hornets nest of emotions within me,and I just picture one of my own daughters and how it would make me feel to see them hurt that way.It's so unfair,at least the way you tell it,and I have no choice but to believe you,and it breaks my heart.I wish I had insight or solutions,but of course I don't,just empathy,sympathy and compassion.I feel unsettled after hearing stories like this one.I hope and pray that there is some resolve,somewhere,somehow.
