When others make you feel dumb...

So with Christmas coming up, my son's father and I were discussing how this holiday is going to go. Usually open presents on the 24th. Well he wants to surprise our son on the 25th by putting a new chair and TV in his room from Santa. So it had me thinking on how I should do his presents. I asked his dad when were presents going to be opened since usually they are done on the 24th. He treated me like I was dumb. 

"Well they can be done on the 24th. I don't know." 

It was in a very condescending tone. Like he was bothered by me for asking.  

I hate trying to talk to this man. You just never know what he will say or do. He is already frustrated with me as it is.  

So I'm trying to figure how to do mine to our son.  

I'm reminded to remember to just transmute this energy to a more positive mindset. And I do try, but I also have my moments. 

I also think that he is mad at what I got our son as I spent more. 

I'm not trying to compete, but he's also not contributed to his son's needs either. 

Can't do $5 a month for his son's tablet, but can subscribe to YouTube.  

Can't help buy food for our son, but can for himself and his family. 

It's like our son gets excluded. 

He stopped helping me with the monthly payments for the car when we agreed on 50/50. 

He doesn't ask about our son's schooling or doctor appointments. 

Doesn't even remember our son's birthday, but can remember his ex's daughter's. 

It's just a horrible situation. I don't say anything negative to our son about his father. I just try to explain things neutral. 

I do wish I never got involved with his father, but then again I may not have had a wonderful child.  

There is always a blessing in what destroys us.
