As soon as she brought Amy home from the hospital, Dennis changed completely. He quit giving Sophie any kind of attention, and he basically stopped caring about her at all.
She can tell that how Dennis is behaving is now impacting Sophie negatively, so yesterday evening, when the girls were tucked in bed, she confronted Dennis about how he had changed.
“He told me that since Amy was born, his love for Sophie has “died” (he then retracted, and reworded, saying “dimmed” instead),” she said.
“I was horrified; I told him I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He tried to calm me down by saying that perhaps we could “split” them, he’ll take Amy, and I take Sophie. It almost felt like he was making a really s***** joke. I called him a terrible person and told him he didn’t deserve to be a father. I told him that I feel betrayed and repulsed by him for using one child as a trial for the next. He left the house and hasn’t come home since.”
She then reached out to Dennis to say that she wanted him to go stay with his brother for the rest of the week, and then this weekend, she’s going to take the girls and stay with her mom and dad.
“Fortunately or unfortunately, it is likely that divorce is on the cards,” she concluded. “I don’t see this as something that either Dennis and I or the girls would be able to live with or recover from.”
She’s left wondering, though, if it was mean of her to tell Dennis that he does not deserve to be a dad.
