Dear Lady. Ann:
I am so furious right now, I just need to get this off my mind. My baby daddy got married about three years ago, good for him. Since he has been with his current wife, he has had less time for our daughter. He keeps calling out on appointments last minute. He and his wife now have a little baby, and as you can guess, he has less time for his daughter than he ever did in the past. My daughter thinks her father does not love her because of his new family. I try to convince her that he loves her, but he’s just so busy, but even I don’t believe that bs.
After going back and forth with him and reminding him of his responsibilities, he finally agreed to come to see my daughter last weekend. I thought he was coming alone, but no, this fool brought his wife and new baby with him. I specifically told him he needs to spend time ALONE with his daughter because of how she has been feeling, but I guess he is deaf.
To make the whole situation worse, his wife starts speaking for him when I was clearly having a conversation with him. She starts saying things like I need to understand that he has a whole new family now and other responsibilities. I get angry and say she has to stay out of this and let him speak for himself. She goes “I’m his wife and I can and will speak for him.” I ignored her at first and kept talking to him. She then says “I’ve told you, he will not be communicating with you no more. I will do the talking.” That’s when I flipped. Who the fu*k do you think you are? I start yelling and tell him to get her out of my house. She insists that if she’s leaving, he is leaving too. My daughter starts crying because she really wanted to spend time with her daddy. This b**ch starts pulling him from my daughter, while my daughter holds onto her father’s hands. I HATE THIS BULLSHIT! He keeps telling my daughter he is sorry and he is gonna be back, while he walks away with his wife like a damn fool. I am sick of this! I hate what this is doing to my baby. This is not the kind of life I wanted for her. What do I do?
#DLATribe, how can she handle the relationship between her daughter and baby daddy?
