More like read, shake my head, and die laughing. You just made me wake the cat up!
The truth is that you cannot bear to so much as type the word mother, or it's variations. Helper? That's a job description, not what a child calls his/her step parent. I don't have a problem with this, but someone else does, and I offered that person a possible solution to the problem. You chimed in with some nonsense about a 5 yr old kid making the rules.
I don't constantly need to get in the last word. However, if someone is going to post the kind of bs that you do, I'm not going to sit there and ignore it, just for the sake of your comfort level.
It is easy to determine how you provoked your ex into DV.
Good move, Davy. While you're at it why not ask the men on this board what they did to their wives to deserve being abused? You have got to be the poster child for the radical feminist movement. You make Archie Bunker look like Dr. Phil with your undisguised hatred for the female half of the population. Shall I call my daughters up and ask them what they did to their father to make him hit them, call them names, and kick their door and walls in? Since the cat is awake, maybe I should discuss why the ex felt the need to kick him and the dog. Angus had to have provoked him into doing it, right? You're an asshole.
I'm right here taking care of my kids, and wading through probate papers, and calling doctors and teachers for the kids. I don't go to parties or bar hopping. I'm right here with them, the washing machine, and the stove. Exactly where a female should be, right? Maybe I should wear a burkha and paint the windows over too. Maybe you should move the hell to the Middle East where the men are men and the goats are nervous.
