Today, the kids returned. I hate to say it, but I kinda missed them while they were gone. I am a little frustrated as well. Raven returns home with a 102.3 temp, swollen throat, congested, and unable to talk. Every time she goes up north, she comes home like this. I am so aggrivated! Although I dont mind taking care of her, this is something that should have been treated a few days ago so that it wouldn't get this bad. I had to have her brought to work so that one of the doctors could write me some antibiotics for her. On top of that, she will have a fever for at least the next two days which means I am going to have to take off work to take care of her. Now I love my daughter, and dont mind taking care of her while she is sick, but this should have been taken care of 3 days ago. She said she had a sore throat on Thursday! I am very upset over this. I will probably make some dramatic changes in her life. You know I have the most beautiful daughter. She has a wonderful heart, and a terrific personality. She has a killer sense of humor. She is shy and is slow to warm up to new people. She loves her family, both here and there. I have done all that I can to encourage her to have a healthy and positive relationship with her dad. She loves him so much, and he couldnt care less if she lives or dies. He has not called her in 4 years for her birthday. He doesnt write to her, or call to check on her. He never checks to see if there is anything that she needs. Although that stuff is bad, he finally added a new low to his list. My beautiful daughter was told that she could not stay all night with her dad because he and his girlfriend Christy "couldn't handle" all 3 of his kids at the same time. Folks, that is it. I have had it. I have encouraged Raven to be a good big sister to her younger 2 sisters. I have reminded her how much her dad and Christy love her. I have done everything I am supposed to to be a good mom, according to the shrinks. I absolutly refuse to let him do anything else to her. She does not deserve this. That SOB deserves to have his penis cut off and shoved up his a**. How dare he! He forgets that she was here first! She is his eldest child. She is the child that he prayed for. If he cant handle all three kids, then his a** shouldnt have made 3 kids. How dare he! I hate him, and so help me God, it will be a cold day in hell before he ever lays eyes on her again! I dont forsee her ever going back. His parental rights are officially gone. May he rot in H***. Men like that should be the ones stuck in a 135 degree desert getting shot at. He has got to be the lowest form of scum there is. How can someone who is disabled keep spitting out kids anyway? Cant breathe, got asthma? Well sex should be out of the question now shouldnt it? He just needs to die so at least I will be able to tell Raven that the reason she cant see her dad is because he's dead, instead of because he dont want to see her. BH-You are the lowest SOB on this earth. I hope you have a horrible miserable long life.
