this is killing me giver: So...for the first time in my daughters life her team has qualified for the WORLD SERIES (fastpitch softball) and thanks to the jerk I still call my husband, I can't attend. The 1st game is at 1:00 today and it's 2 hours away from my home town. Now, thanks to the fact that I'm being made to live on a single persons income with NO HELP FROM HIM (not a penny in 15 weeks) I can't afford to take the time off work and see my baby play in one of the most exciting events in her life. This is the only ball game I've ever missed in all the years that she has played.....and I'm gonna miss their game tomorrow as well becasue it's at 9:00 am and again I can't afford to miss the work. I swear, this makes me SO ANGRY at him. And the fact that he isn't going (never even considered it) doesn't help any either. You know, it's be nice for SOMEONE to be there for her (her parents). My mom is takingb off work and going up to be with Brook but it's just not the same. I never stopped to think how this whole situation would effect every little detail in our lives. I see something new each day that is changing becasue of his lame decisions!!!! I hate this.....and I'm beginning to think that one day I could hate him as well.

Would your employer not let you make up the time?
Re: this is killing me giver: I changed jobs 2 weekd before he left so I ahven't been here long enough to have built up any vacation time and we can only mkae up time in the week we missed it. I already have to make up 5 hours from yesterday becasue I have an appointment with my attorney then i had to take my daughter to the opening ceremonies for the world series. She had no other way to get there so I HAD t take time off yesterday. It really makes me mad becasue my eployer is GREAT and understading....it's just my financial situation taht's keeping me from going. I can't wait until this is over with and he has to start paying me something!!!
Re: this is killing me SayAnything...again: ((((hugs)))) giver,
i know how hard this is for you.
SayAnything...again
Re: this is killing me Chris: if it's any consolation, parents that aren't divorced miss some important things in their child's life. sometimes we just can't make it work. i think that because you were there for the opening ceremonies says a lot to your daughter about how much you care for her. she'll understand in time that you too have to make sacrifices and they won't always be in her favor. have your mother take pictures and then sit down with your daughter and have her re-live the experience with you, have her tell you all about it. it'll be a good excuse for you too to talk and share memories. there will be other things, like her graduation, wedding, birth of her first child......many more memories to concentrate on, don't be too hard on yourself for this one.
