Was going to add to Quackers thread but...

So I get this text from my ex last night-said he had been in ER with seizure. Seriously y'all-my first reaction was...sure, right buddy-this is just one more of your billions of lies you've told. And it may as well be! Would not surprise me in the least if that was a lie. Or maybe he did have seizures - I've heard that is not uncommon for alcoholics even when drinking. Anyway, I guess it just really showed me how much I truly don't care anymore-not in a bad way-not out of hate-but pure protecting myself and my kids-I just don't care bc he has just continued to lie, abuse and hurt me and his kids-and for that I have no compassion. It just sucks when you get to this point....I never in my wildest dreams thought I would not care about him-I just went on with my night bc damnit all I did was try to help him for years and years and listen to him cry and drove him to rehab-and all he's done is abuse. I just don't have it in me to hear another lie-and my BS detector is pretty spot on when it comes to him and his familia. I have no love or anything in my heart for a "man" that bullies and scares and abuses his own children-and the mother of his children. And my Christian faith supports me in that. Does this make any sense?!

Absolutely makes sense. You can say a prayer that if he had a seizure he will recover his health. It would be a shame for the kids if he were to drop dead. But under the circumstances, I wouldn't drop everything and be oozing concern over his well-being.

Just out of curiosity, did you respond to the text?

Good for you Forourgirls!
What a relief it must be to not have to emotionally take on his "urgent" text messages, and not let it bog you down anymore...
You're awesome

Lexie-I have no concern over his well being. He's just a drunk spinning his web of lies. It's quite fascinating to observe.

Great job!

Honestly, I could have written the exact same post. I simply can't or won't engage in his insanity any more. I care but I don't! If that makes sense. Lol

What I have always found interesting is how they still think they can reach out to the people they treated the worst!! It boggles my mind. If I ever treated someone so cruelly ( I haven't, nor would I) I certainly would not call them for help. What's even more messed up .....there was a time I would have "tried" to help - even after he abused me! yuck!!!!

You and your kids are the most important. Peace is most important. He can not fathom peace, not unless he gets sober. Good for you!

Sorry-not trying to bump my own post (!!) but had to share...I shared with a friend about my lovely exmil (she knows a Lot as I've shared with her how my mil treated me and how she broke court orders, lied, etc)...my friend proclaims loudly, "God almighty-his mom is able to drive to your house to harrass your family-how pathetic that she has nothing else to do...maybe she could use her time more wisely by kicking her alcoholic son out if her home, driving him to rehab and kicking him to the curb, telling him to man up and pay child support, and tell him to stop being an abusuve ******* to you and his own kids. Just some thoughts!" Yes, yes friend-I hear you loud and clear. Crystal clear to everyone but them. #thestruggleisreal
