Leaving a Bad Taste in my Mouth

I don’t know why I am holding onto a friendship with Alice. I often wonder if it isn’t for the sake of her 20 month year old daughter, Molly. Also for her 5 year old son, Matthew, whom just recently completely unprompted told me, “I love you, Sarah.” That is huge for him to say that as it’s always been his belief that he couldn’t love me because he loves mommy. It’s cute how 5 year olds think like that.

I wanted to push Brian (not to be confused with Dipshidiot) out of Alice’s life because he’s a bum without a job and said some of the most crude and ridiculous things. Case in point, for some reason with Brian, Alice was telling him how she had a hard time looking Dipshidiot in the eyes and Brian came back with, “It’s probably because you’re afraid he’s going to beat you.” I hate Dipshidiot, but I just find that really tasteless to say. He one also told me that he was going to get Dipshidiot to punch me in the face. Mind you, Brian also has a domestic violence charge on his record.

When did Alice realize Brian was not good to have around herself and the kids? When she picked up Matthew from the bus stop yesterday and asked him if he’d like her to call daddy (Matthew Senior). Matt’s response was “Daddy won’t pick up the phone for you because he doesn’t love you anymore. And that’s why daddy doesn’t call us anymore.” That silenced Alice for a moment until she carefully asked, “And who told you that?” and Matt simply said, “Brian.”

How completely immature and idiotic, not to mention cruel, do you have to be to tell a 5 year old that? And how dumb does Alice have to be to instead of telling me while Matt is preoccupied with something, tell it to me in front of him AND ask him to reiterate what he said?? She didn’t even reassure him that it was false information.

She hated the fact that Matthew Sr. picked out something for Matt that she didn’t ask him to give Matt. She was asking me to find out how expensive it was and bitching about this that and the other. It’s a gift, Matt will LOVE it, I even think it’s cool. She needs to learn some appreciation. It’s Matthew Sr.’s money. He gives her enough to make her comfortable as she doesn’t work. She is able to pay her bills, feed and clothe her kids and afford nightly take-out. She got a text from Matthew Sr. last night where he told her he put in an amount of money for her in their joint account and to use it wisely. I knew she was fuming about the wisely part. He gave her more than he normally gives her, but it wasn’t enough for her. They have a 3 or 4 day Disney trip next week, she needs to put money aside for bills, bitch, bitch, bitch. I know he told her to use it wisely because he’s Generally Discharged from the Military come April, i.e. no money. I ended up pulling the card: there are people out there who don’t have any family left, are losing their homes and living on the streets. She has a roof over her head, food in her kitchen, 2 clothed well cared for kids and a great family around her supporting her. She texted Matthew Sr. back with a “Thank you” instead of the bitching she wanted to do. I told her she took the higher road doing that. Tis the motherfucking season, time to be thankful and happy.

So we had Brian brainwashing her kid’s head and now Dipshidiot wants to step in and “be the father that Matthew Sr. never was”.

AIN’T NOTHIN’ BUT A GANGSTA WHITE TRASH PARTY!

  1. Let me clarify, if I may?
    Alice has 3 men currently involved in her life, Matt Sr (who is the father of her kids???), Dipshidiot, and Brian?
    Alice does nothing but lives off of the money Matt Sr. gives her (are they still married???) while he is away in the military?
    Alice is planning on marrying Dipshidiot, who is currently in jail for violating a restraining order against his (ex?)wife, and who is also (allegedly) a better father than Matt Sr. (who, again, pays for Alice and her kids)?
    Alice is fucking Brian in the meantime, because she’s so horny (needy) that she can’t handle being away from dipshidiot, and/or Matt Sr… or her vagina will implode if it’s not occupied a minimum amount of time in any given week?
    And, AND, she has 2 young kids who are witness to all of this?
    (And less importantly, do all three men know of the other men involved in the picture?)
    You, my dear, are holding onto this friendship because it is a freakin’ SOAP OPERA! Free entertainment (but very, very sad for her kids).
    This soap opera makes me feel like less of a crappy mom :)

      Yes!!! Correct on everything!! Tho left out was the fact Matt Sr. has a girlfriend whom by happenchance has 2 kids of her own and he lives in her house across the country where he is stationed. For now. He is being generally discharged which in laymen terms means kicked out of the military and they dont want him back.

    Oh my goodness how can she even keep track of all that?! That’s insanity. I mean, I honestly couldn’t imagine having that life, and wouldn’t want to. Sure, the male validation might be nice, but it seems like they’re all abusive/controlling men. Maybe she’s a relationship addict? Yikes! I’d have a very hard time being her friend and keeping my mouth shut about it…maybe you should tell her how you feel about it? Someone should. Her poor children! Good luck to her :(

      Alice, unfortunate as it is, doesn’t seem to ever get a clue. Everything I have ranted about here I have vehemently said to her face time and again. She has to figure it out herself, and even then I wonder if she ever learns from it. She found out her husband was cheating and not a month later does an online dating site and meets the first guy she starts talking to on there, Dipshidiot. It’s a hot mess and I’m torn because I love her kids. If she were kidless I would have walked away a long time ago.

      • Jet says:

        That’s tough. I cannot judge though; it took me eight years to leave the land of denial. She really does have to be ready to see it for herself and strong enough to walk away (and stay away) from men/relationships like that. Certainly sucks for the little ones, but at least they have you!

        I cannot even think about other men. I don’t think I’ll ever be with anyone again :( I know I cannot really say for certain, but…I couldn’t imagine bringing another man into my children’s lives. Maybe once they grow up and leave home I’ll find the time/interest…maybe.

      • Combat Babe says:

        I agree. I don’t have kids, but if I did and it didn’t work being with their dad, I’d wait until they were older and if not out of the house. I have great intuition though so I have never dated a guy in my life that was a slime ball. I may be jinxing myself, but I am a great read of people so I can easily spot the liars, the manipulators, etc. But when it comes to my imaginary children, I don’t care how fabulous you are, they come first. I think that’s why I am so mad at Alice for. Through all the bullshit, it’s her not putting her kids before herself that gets me twisted. I don’t even think she has intuition. If she does, it’s stifled.

      • Jet says:

        Good for you! Both for having the decency to put your (future) children first, and for your blessed gift of intuition. Deep down I knew that my husband wasn’t the greatest choice for a husband. I was in love with him, I was addicted to him, but I knew that he wasn’t good for me early on. I didn’t know that what he was doing to me was considered abusive, or how bad it would get, but…there were always red flags. I simply chose to ignore them. Live and learn.

        I cannot imagine introducing men to my children. It’s just…ewww. I don’t know. I grew up with a mother who was searching for her true love after divorcing my abusive father. I absolutely hated it. The entire household would shift depending on who she was dating and my life felt so unstable. I vowed to never put my children through such torment.

        I think I’ve got enough to worry about without another cock around, lol :) Good luck to Alice!
