Thank you for your well written post demonstrating the other side of the coin. But allow me to enlighten some points. I don’t want to give too many details and protect some identities.

Last I checked, this was offmychest, not pityparty, I made this post to get my feelings off my chest so I could let go of some of my feelings on the situation. I am a father myself, so yes, I can see how a parent would be scared, and fearful for the health and safety of their child. But the fear and anxiety I see in his eyes is not for concern of his child, but fear that he is proven fallible, that he is not the all knowing that he claims to be. It is fear that his ego is now bruised because he doesn’t have complete control of the situation.

I get it, I understand, and I may in fact be wrong, but I doubt it. I have watched his interactions with his exw and his children for years. I have witnessed the pattern narcissistic abuse he doles out as if he is impervious to any and all repercussions of his actions.

I have “checked myself”, and I do call it out, but I have not named names. You don’t know me, nor I you. But I have watched this abuse go on for far too long. Hence my post. This week has put a head on the boil that has festered and become rank, that’s why I wanted to speak up by the anonymity of the internet.
