FOB is coming here next sat to visit Bella for the first time *cringe*

I texted him asking if he is definitely coming (we keep arguing so i keep thinking he's not going to come) and he said is and we even discussed what we are going to do.

I'm really dreading it to be honest. I mean, mostly i just hate the guy and i have no idea what we are going to talk about other than Bella. I don't want to ask about his life, becasue frankly, i don't cate and i don't want to know. He'll only take it as an opportunity to tell me how care-free his life is.
I was scared at first that i might glimpse the person i first fell in love with, and my feelings might get confused. Then i realised the person i fell in love with was actually high most of the time (Without me realising it) and he won't be high when he comes to visit (he best bloody not!!) so there is no chance of that happening i guess!

I'm scared he'll hold Bella and she'll give him that killer smile that she gives everyone (and i mean everyone!) and he'll think he's some how special, or that she likes him.

I'd like to think this is the beginning of regular visits, but i somehow highly doubt it :-/ He kept making up excuses to why he can't come up here (he lives 200 miles away) but i know the real reason is because he's lazy. So he can make up excuses til he's blue in the face, but i know him. And i know because he has to change trains four times and it takes him 3 hours on those trains to get to us, that he just can't be bothered! He's probably never admit it to himself either, because he's a proud man and he likes to think of himself as a good father (he has another daughter that is 4 that lives across the road from him) so he probably makes excuses to himself, not wanting to admit that the reason he doesn't see his youngest daughter is because 'he can't be bothered' - but that really is all it is.

I know a man who lives in london and drives to glasgow every week so he can see his daughters for just 6 hours! That is commitment and love. That is a father who wants to see his daughters, even if it means the most of his weekend is spent driving.

Sorry about the random rant. I'm just nervous. I don't really want to see him and i don't know what it's going to be like or what's going to happen.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation and it turned out much better than they expected? (wishful thinking!)
 
Awwwww hun, no advice but i hope sat goes as well as you want xx
 
the first time fob came here i was dreading it and i hadnt seen him in about 7 months and by he time he left i had a headache from the tension it caused lol. i couldnt find anything to talk about but he jsut went on and on about his job and i sat there pretending to listen. the next time was worse we didnt even speak. i hope it turns out better than you expect and he sticks to his visits for your lil one xxx
 
:hugs: Not been in that position.... yet... But hope it all goes ok, Your understandably nervous but remember your the one in control, not him. :) xx
 
I havent been in that situation but I wanted to offer you lots of :hugs:! I am sure you will find something to talk about even if it is Bella! Dont worry what he has to say about his life. Tell him about yours if he does! Ignore any little digs and stupid comments and just rise above it if he does do that!
Good luck! We want an update! You might wanna hit him but refrain from doing this hehe!! :rofl:
 
Oh my god! *Cringe* It's tomorrow!

I am seeing him tomorrow! Is it just me or is that scarily close??

I brought Bella a new outfit for the occasion, lol. (any excuse!)

I'm stupidly nervous. Scared he's going to pick a fight with me. Or worried that i'll get angry about the fact he hasnt been around or paid anything for 7 months and say something nasty >_<

Bah Humbug!
 
Good luck for tomorrow...........xx


7 months not paid a penny hmmmmm i dont think i would be able to stop myself from saying something!!!! You never know he may come with a huge wad of cash for you and Bella lol
 
Good luck for today huni. I am sure you two will be ok. You just have an instinct to be civil for the sake of your daughter.. I hope all goes well and I shall be waiting for an update lol
 
Ohh fuck bugger shit.

Just tidying up the flat now (though to be fair it's pretty spotless, but i know he will jump on anything that looks a little dirty or out of place!) don't even know what i'm going to wear yet :-/

Thanks for everyones support! :-D xxx :hugs:
 
He's gone!


It wasn't too bad actually!


We did find stuff to talk about, but we did argue too :-/ But only when Bella was napping.

He tried to explain why he hasnt made a payment and why he hasn't come to see Bella and he said that in the long run, by not paying us any money, he was doing what's best for Bella because he had debts to pay first and if he didnt pay them he would have gone to prision and he then he wouldn't be able to pay me any money :dohh:
And he said because he was paying that he didn't have the money to come up and see her. I told him if he wanted to see her, then he would have found the money, which is when he said that the journey up and down took a really long time, and there is no point in seeing her at the moment because she won't remember him when he next comes up. Idiot.

He told me he still loves me :dohh: and i said that that cant be true as when we broke up he told me he didnt love me anymore, but apprently he just said that so it would be easier for me to get over him, as he knew i would have trouble getting over him if I knew he still loved me :dohh:

He said I got over him really fast and he knows that i hate him. It seemed like he was looking for me to deny it or something but i just nodded!! lol.:haha:

He also brought Bella a purple teddy (a big wad of money would have been better!) and he brought me my mothers day gift (a pen... wooo...)

We argued about lots of things, like why we broke up and problems we had in our relationship etc he said he still resented me for a lot of things like me trying to change him etc but at least we got it all out in the open.

I think he also tried to get me jealous, he kept mentioning a girl called chloe and i didnt ask about her so he said 'oh, did you ever meet chloe?' and i just said 'no' so he carrys on to say that she is his ex from years ago and she's still into him and he thinks she's trying to get him into bed etc (even though i didnt ask...) :shrug: So i just said to him 'ohh, go for it! No reason you shouldn't get some action too!' - so implying i was getting action, haha :haha:

He kept calling himself 'daddy' which made me cringe because personally i think he should earn that title :-/

And finally, i asked when we would be seeing him again, and he said not for a while, but he might try and come up for her birthday at least (yay?)
He also said that he will come up more often when she is older so he can take her to surrey with him so she cant spend the weekend at his, but i should know that he is not going to stop doing his drugs just because she's there(?!) that he will wait til she is asleep though. I asked what if she wakes up? And he said he's not that much different when he's high so he'd have no problem putting her back down. I said there was no way she would be spending the weekend with him if i thought at any point he would be getting high, so he said there is no point in seeing her then :-/
We argued a while about this me saying 'why cant you just not do drugs for a couple of days when she's with you?' and him saying 'I don't see why i should have to stop or change who i am just because she's here' :dohh::dohh::dohh: but eventually decided to leave it because that really is years and years away.

Wow, i really have gone on a bit havent I! There is more but thats the main stuff.

Basically i am happy i have made an effort into him coming to see Bella, and CSA is all sorted now apprently - so now the effort is up to him!... so doubt we'll ever see him again lol! :dohh:

Thanks for your support and hugs girls!! xxx
 
Was gonna PM you on FB then remembered to check here!

OMG :shock: about the drugs thing. Why can't he just not do it for one weekend every so often? What an idiot. I would definitely not be letting her stay there then!!! I'm presuming he smokes weed? You wouldn't even want him doing it in the same house as she's sleeping. Like you say though, its years away. Worry about it then. If he can't stop his drug taking then he'll just have to come up to you won't he?

Sounds like you did really well though hun. Must have been hard.

:hugs: xxxxx
 
Lucky you! A pen all of your very own!!!!! lol

I cant believe he would sacrafice seeing his daughter, just because he doesnt want to give up drugs for a few days, idiot.

I agree with suzanne, sounds like you did amazingly! Well done! :hugs:

xx
 
As the others have said well done..........xx

Sounds like you had great self control, if it had been me i would have risen big time to the other women comments etc etc

Wow cant believe he would just come out and say that he would do drugs even if he had Bella!!!! Crazy man eh

Hopefully he gets his debts paid off super quick and he starts coughing up.
 
Hun, you've done everything :hugs: You were brilliant I would have booted him out :rofl:

What a complete arsehole though!!

Yay on the pen :rofl:
 
Ahhh! Lol. Definitely trying to make you jealous with the whole 'Chloe' thing lol! Why would you bother to mention it otherwise. Good on your for not asking about it!
:rofl: @ the pen! What was it a bic or a proper pen lol! Im just imagining the look on your face as you see it was a pen! :rofl:
If he wants to find reasons why he didnt give you money or didnt come to see Bella then thats all good cos she can make her own mind up when she is older!
I also think your right that he should earn the daddy title!
Glad it wasnt too bad for you though
 
:rofl: You serious!!! He buys you a pen that doesn't even work!!?? Bloody hell what an arsehole!:haha: I'd send him a message saying pen doesn't work maybe you should have bought a pencil instead least it's guareented to work lol
 
Lol! I would, but i've decided now that i'm not going to get in touch with him about anything - going to let him do all the work!
