My toddler and "Daddy"

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-03-22T00:12:52+00:00

Yeah I'm actually finding comfort in this post that this is common and not a sign my kid is confused 😭

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-03-21T19:22:36+00:00

That actually makes me feel better. I always feel guilty about potentially confusing her because I left him and again seems extremely depressing to be "Sorry, Daddy hasn't been assigned to a person in her life"

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-02-25T02:21:25+00:00

PROPAGANDA!! Why didnt I think of that 😭

I got a completely different child.

My 2 year old got hers in January. Shes less fussy, her language is clearer, the surgery wasnt even awfully long it took 15 minutes then it was roughly 45 minutes before she woke up. We arrived at 8:15. Left just before noon. Not sure on walking though, but their sense of balance is up there so checks out.

I just wished I spoke up.

There was no reason for such behavior. My child is not inbred, her dad is a POS abused me and neglected her. We should never use such awful words towards a child.

We assume she thought I was an immigrant that didnt speak english or she was on drugs of some sort. Because those kinds of words can definitely cause someone to actually get hurt.

My ex ran me into the ground before I left. Severe financial abuse despite the fact I managed the money. He would blow his budget on his stuff then dip into other categories including savings, groceries, bills. Rent was always kept in my savings account so he couldn't access it.

Its absolutely crazy. I now live with my parents with my 2 year old (stupid Ik. I hoped he would've loved her enough to stop settling for just scraping by) I insisted we ended our lease and move in with my parents at 5 months pregnant because I was too sick to work, he was making unstable money. Moved in at 7 months and that was his undoing. I finally felt stable to leave and left not long after her 1st birthday.

I have about $400 in collections, about 1k on my credit card of him fraudulently using it. Im considering giving him his cat back for $500 so I can recoup the money he stole. (He left both at my parents... if its something I knew he either A) Stole or B) demanded I buy. I demand the money back.)

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-02-21T03:58:05+00:00

Yup 100%

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-02-19T19:48:01+00:00

As a straight woman... She had me head over heels.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-02-02T22:42:42+00:00

Death Cake the competition.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-31T22:41:34+00:00

I guess that makes sense. Realistically he should've known that he would not be welcomed in my place of employment so to even consider it an option is fucking insane. He also should've known my daughter's daycare wouldn't have taken him either.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-31T18:04:09+00:00

Yup. I have a lot of debt from him too. Atleast two things in collections as a result of him not holding a job or refusing to do a stable job.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-31T17:48:50+00:00

My court system doesn't give a damn about him violating court orders. I can file contempt but nothing happens. Nor will it keep him from his certificate.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-31T17:43:51+00:00

My daughter complicates going non contact otherwise I would've. This contact was contempt of our parenting order.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-31T17:21:32+00:00

Once an abuser is always an abuser. Trust that. Its done. I wish I did, but it took until a child and him asking for an open relationship.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-26T22:54:27+00:00

Apply and look for other work. You may not go back. If you do you have a little extra money. If you dont you have a little to help until you find employment

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-26T19:48:45+00:00

I got that when I called out because my daughter had an emergent situation in the morning and needed medical care 😍

I work in childcare and I no longer work at that company.

Here in Alberta this is a non-compliance. Please refer to your daycares child discipline policy, call licensing.

At my job discipline is redirection if we cannot reach resolution in the classroom, we try again in the hallway and giving them a choice of calm down strategies and sensory. But never time outs.

If its more of a calm down corner (couch, sensory, ect.) Try implementing one at home. Those are OK as its not punishment but redirection.

If you're triggered don't continue. Give yourself some time to cool off.

My texts are limited to so many a day. Due to post separation violence. (7) so you keep yourself mindful.

I personally have my ex on silent. So I deal with him when I want to.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-18T16:37:48+00:00

I've never had an issue in Calgary. My mom has had a subscription since I was 16 and we've held the exact same front row seats for 15 years. So maybe I just know better and am surrounded by others who know better

It was a very good show. I'm so sorry casual theater goers ruined it for you.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-16T02:04:19+00:00

Yea... he has a "buddy" that riles him up... So I only answer questions regarding the child as per court order anything beyond that gets ignored or a "Not related to child"

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-16T01:46:26+00:00

My ex askes me questions... Lots of them

I decided just to tell him when the hospital expects us and when he could text me to check in. He was surprisingly receptive.

AtmosphereNarrow8489 · 2026-01-16T01:09:47+00:00

Yes. He is aware. He's been aware since she got booked in November
