DA strkes back @ Bug

Son of a BITCH!

Bug took it upon herself to write her father (DA) an email. In that email she told him things that had been bugging her for a long time, as well as asking HIM to come visit her instead of her having to travel there. She told him that it bothered her that he DID NOT ask about her Christmas or what she got, but instead went into detail about what A (her little sister thru DA) got and things A did. Bug took upon herself to tell him what she got. Then she called my cell phone while I was at the ER and said "It would be nice if he acknowledged me."

There was more to the email she sent. She managed to cram alot into one paragraph and kept it rather short.

She had me read the email before she sent it. I told her I thought she did a good job, but she needed to think long and hard before sending it. I warned her that it was going to make him mad and to expect him to send something back.

DA's response was lashing back out at her. He refuses to take any blame for any thing. Such as the conversation about A, christmas presents, etc. He says he never did that and always asks her about school, life, how she is, etc. Then he brings me into the conversation. Not once, but at least twice to blame me for something. He blames me for him not coming to visit her as well as her not going to visit him. He says "your mother doesn't pay for her share of travel like she's supposed to." LIAR!!! I pay for exactly what I agreed to pay for or make arrangements for half her travel. Irreguardless he only pays for HALF of her travel during the summer visits.

He also claimed the only reason they haven't moved closer to her is because of me stating "If we moved closer to you, your mother would just move again." Yeah, like he holds that sort of power over me. Nevermind, I have a husband who works in this area, two other children to consider, AND a house that has a mortgage in an economy that sucks for resale. But in the following sentences he claims he's been at the same company for the past 9 years and can't just leave. Then says T (Bug's stepmother = DA's wife) only has a short time before she graduates college and then they plan on moving here to be closer to Bug.

Frigging Dumb Ass. So, to sum it up. He plans on quiting a job he's been at for 9 years to move to a state with no family or friends in order to be closer to his daughter that's going into high school. Which will include uprooting his 2nd daughter from the only home she's ever known. And also includes making his wife move away from her family in hopes of getting a job here. LOL It wouldn't be long after they got here Bug would be leaving for college. So much for them moving to be closer to her.

It just really pisses me off that he blames Bug for his short comings. It ticks me off that he blames me for everything that's ever gone wrong in his relationship with her. Yeah, he doesn't need any help, he's doing a fine job all by himself.
