Step-Father Mood
Wednesday, August 19, 2009

I view the man my mother married as a completely shallow douche bag. I cannot stand the man. However I do remain polite, only because he is married to my mom. I do not respect my mother's decision for staying in the marriage, after she found out Tim, my step-dad, cheated on her for seven out of the eight years of their marriage, but she is my mom and I love her.

Anyway, back to why I am posting this, mostly just to vent. My step-father is all about image. Everything is about image to him. He cannot stand my boyfriend, because Joe does not attend church regulary and because he smokes. And that is just a horrible boyfriend for the daughter of a church elder to have. Whatever. I went off topic again. Damn.

Okay, so the past couple days, whenever Tim gets the chance he will turn my great mood into a horrible one. This past Sunday, for some unknown reason my mom and I got into a conversation involving names for babies. I told her I am going to name my child either Anthony Ryan or Halie Rose...you know, when the time is right and I am able to have my own child. Tim stopped our conversation looked at me and said "I doubt you will even be able to carry Sami. You miscarried one already. I am pretty sure that means you aren't built to have kids. Shame."

My mouth dropped open, I looked from him to my mother and back again. When no one said a word, I walked away and basically kept myself in my room for the rest of the day reading.

Tonight, when I came home from my boyfriend's house, I was talking to my mom about Conner, Joe's nephew, who I adore. I was telling my mom about how Conner and I played with a balloon for a little and then I ended up holding him while Joe and I were watching the storm outside. I was smiling so much while speaking of my all time favorite two year old. Tim once again interrupted my conversation and asked "Why are you so attached to Conner? What is your fascination with him? Is it because you lost your own child, so you have to attach to someone's else? Or is it because you will never have one of your own?"

I cannot stand the man, and this last week he has been making it worse...

    I'm so sorry that your step dad has made these hurtful comments to you. I have had such a hurtful comment said to me by my brother in law. About a month or two after we lost our son, my bro in law and his fiance, came to our house. my husband and I had just gotten out of the shower(were still in our towels) I went to the door and told him we just got out of the shower, to hold on one minute. He then said through the door "you just lost one baby, what are you trying to do? make another?" it was the most insensitve thing I have ever had said to me, and although it was nine years ago, it still hurts so much to think of those words. I'm so sorry you have to deal with the lack of compassion this man has for you. I hope your days ahead get better!~hugs~
