He said he would do that, but I knew he wouldn't and now we are home and sure enough, just like I knew, I wasted my breath because he hasn't done a darn thing.
because he doesn't have a damn CLUE in how to address this. he's not a role model, he has nothing to offer in how to be a grown up.
Yes mam.. I called my neighbor to go on a cold walk and I told her I set myself up for disappointment by expecting him to parent. I knew he wouldnt. It's my fault I didn't do it myself. At the same time I can't handle this young man and really need help.
