How do I not feel resentful?!
It’s our youngest Son’s 11th birthday tomorrow. Today as well as working, I’ve had to go get helium balloons and birthday cake. All amidst a busy working day, then home to sort tea.
I come home and my mother in law tells me my husband has called. He was in art class this afternoon. Then he’s off to the gym.
Really?!
Whilst I am working, sorting birthdays and being single mum?!
It’s not fair.
It’s not fair on the boys.
It’s not fair on me.
We have had to endure 2 of my youngest sons birthdays, 2 of my birthdays, my eldest sons 16th birthday, Christmas and our 20th wedding anniversary, all without him.
I am not a single parent. I didn’t marry some half wit who doesn’t care about his children, I am not a widow. Yet his offending has resulted in this.
I love him. I’ve never stopped for one second. Yet at times the resentment I feel for the position his Offending has placed us in, is impossible not to feel resentful at times.
After the knock 
I understand. I recall the only time I swore in front of a SW was when saying that my children’s father gets to go home every night and sleep all night and meanwhile I haven’t had a night’s sleep in years. It does improve when they can help out more, as time goes on. But when we are in the thick of it, it’s impossible not to have these emotions. Especially when we are left so unsupported by the state.
