Children. Kids. Offspring. Youth. It really doesn't matter what you call them. All the "names" have the same meaning. They are our young, the people we raise to succeed us in life. We teach them trust and respect. We teach them how to be good, strong, successful people. We teach them the value in life, whatever your value might be. Kids are truly amazing. Their eagerness to learn and grow astounds us all. The rate in which they soak up life is so rapid many of us adults look at them in wonder when they problem solve something for themselves for the first time.
Yeah, sure. They have their moments and more often than not make you want to pull your hair out and scream at the top of your lungs. Its a learning process for all parties involved. Its not easy and its not always pleasant, but the end result is well worth it. And, I for one, wouldn't change it for the world.
Children deserve to be loved. But I think most importantly, they deserve to be respected. They didn't pop out after 9 months going, "I'm going to make my parents' life a living hell." All they want is to be loved and taught, from the moment they are born.
But when did it start to be okay to remove that respect? To damage the life you knowingly created? To walk away and "someday" make it better and be a better person? When did it start to be okay to choose "them" and "it" over him? Ha. What a joke. Apparently your priorities are fuckin screwed.
You've had the benefit of the doubt time and time again. Well this is the last time. Its one thing to steal and lie and cheat the adults in your life. But to assume that since you sired a son, you automatically get rights, you're fucking crazy. I will no longer bend over backwards to keep you in his life. I am so tired of watching you destroy any trust he has. Yeah, you are his father, but so what? What have you honestly ever done for him? Where is the support he needs from you, emotionally, physically AND monetarily? You don't deserve to be his dad. You don't deserve to be with him. Go ahead and flush your life down the toilet. He doesn't need to be exposed to you or your life. He deserves so much better than YOU. I refuse to let you hurt him anymore.
Don't worry though, he doesn't want for anything. He has everything he could ever want. He's happy and he's loved and he doesn't need you. And the main reason? Because I am a GREAT mom and I stepped up to the plate where you have failed so miserably.
