I'm sorry about the parental alienation you and your children have suffered, that's terrible for everyone.
Not even my own father cares. He happily continues to see his grandkids because he doesn't want to "take sides."
I'm confused why you wouldn't want him to see them. Isn't in your best interest to have people who love you and think you're a good dad in your kids' lives? Somebody to counter the alienating narrative in whatever ways they can?
My kid is in high school, and they communicate about emergencies through text, email, and automated calls. There are lots of jobs, especially low-paying ones, that will not let you check your phone during your shift, and they're certainly not going to be okay with you leaving early to go pick up your kid. If the choice is "leave to pick up kid (who you know is safe with teachers), get fired," versus "leave kid (who you know is safe with teachers), keep job," it's pretty simple math.
You had me in the first half; I really thought we were going to come together in agreement that we need to nourish this gorgeous, life-giving entity with delicious billionaires.
feel less anxiety and am less prone to anger
This is a huge one for me, too. I managed my transition to a new provider poorly and am consequently out of medication, and I have so much less tolerance for other people and their bullshit. It took conscious effort to not be cunty with a store employee the other day when he had the temerity to interrupt my search of a shelf for a thing to offer to help with my search. 😂 It wasn't until I was relaying the story to my husband that I went from "can you fucking believe that asshole" to "can you fucking believe what an asshole I am omfg." 🤦
I very nearly replied to his second, "What are you looking for?" with "None of your fucking business!!" 😂🤦 jfc. I just ignored him instead, which I'm sure was also offensive.
I just can't go out into public after mid-morning until I get more medication, I am a menace. 😂
