Co-Parenting

Today I am boiling inside. Co-parenting with a nonexistent parent is totally impossible. Why at times I totaly foget this and think this time will be different is mind boggling. I mean it makes me wanna scream in their face, when you going to grow up. I know that would not do anything because it has not changed anything in 17 years, but do I think it would make me feel better, in the heat of the moment.


I get so tired of one parent not feeling like they need to have any responsibility to their first born child, but then thinks they are entitled to have rights or a say. I am also tired of that parent playing the victim, and has for years. Well guess what your the adult and the child is the child. You as the parent are responsible to show up for your child phycsially and emotionally, not the other way around. Quit making the child be responiable to call you and then get mad at her when she dont. I wanna say like listen hear mother f*cker you don't get to just choose when you want to be a parent. You are either all in for good times of parenting and bad, or not at all. Part time parents I think forget all that goes into parenting. It is more than just a weekend visit, or a phone call. It is showing up to the school, doctors, dances, beaning there when they are hurt physically or emotionally, birthdays, holidays, when they get into fights. Giving them a ride to work, having sleep overs and meeting the friends they are hanging out with.


It gets really fusturating when the other parent fails your child and you see the hurt it brings them. I cant take that away. It hurts to see the other parent care for someone else's kids that are not their's, and put their child on the back burner. Like dont you see what that does to your child? The things the run through her head like, I am not worthy of their love? Why dont you show up for me, what did I do wrong? If only they could see the damage they are doing to the child.


One day the other parent will, get what they have gave to their child and its sad to say it that way. But when you didnt show up for years for your child and support her why do you think when she is an adult she will wanna come around to you and celebrate her life victorys or share her worries and struggle's?
