love and family life

Today I got more disappointed with one of the husband’s older kids. This particular kid needs a lesson in respect and responsibility. He blames his bad decisions on his imminent divorce, signing all his rights to his son, and everything else but him. Right. He is not to blame. You see, he made his wife’s life miserable to a point where she gave up (she is not blameless either) and left him. He signed away his rights and responsibility to his kid because he does not want to pay support (even after his father told him not to). He spends his time partying and getting broke. And when somebody stole whatever valuable from his apartment because he left his key under his floor mat in an apartment complex at that, he says that life is so hard on him and that everything is all messed up. Who is to blame? He gets all emotional and yells and cries like a lunatic that I really seriously want to slap him senseless so he will straighten up. So it is alright to spend your money like there is no tomorrow because you cannot see your kid which is what you wanted in the first place? Whatever happened to the proclamations of “I have never felt so relieved in my life”? I am afraid to be around him when he starts his drama because I am liable to tell it to his face that he is a no good sob. I am tired of his act. If he does not straighten up I don’t know what is going to happen to him. Heck, he might even blame us for not stopping him from going down now even if we have tried to only he does not listen. I hope he just moves in with his mom. Maybe she can put some sense into him.
