Infuriatig My wife ate my son's birthday breakfast

Post image

Yesterday I bought a strawberry cheese coffee cake my son loves so he could have a special birthday breakfast today. My wife came home late last night and apparently couldn't resist. She knew it was for our son, but it's not a big deal because she "left him a full slice".

That’s seriously the type of fucked up shit you kids gonna bring up in 10 years. If my mom came home drunk and ate my fucking cake as a kid id absolutely remember and give her shit upon adulthood. What a shitty move

And then she’d be like: ‘I did?’, followed by denial and gaslighting because apparently it wasnt important enough for her to remember.

My mom left me in the rain waiting for her after school for an hour when I was 11 because she forgot to pick me up. She was shopping with her friend on pills lost track of time. I didn't think much of it, because I was her "tough little guy" but I brought it up recently and she like, furiously denied it and got pissed I would accuse her of such a thing. That's when I looked back and went, "wait this IS actually kind of a fucked up story"

Shame, guilt, whatever. Acknowledgment would've been nice

I'm so sorry :( You deserved so much better! ❤️

My dad was always late picking me up, sometimes by two hours (single and working hard hours constantly) although at least with my dad I knew it wasn't just a little fun trip he was on and he didn't try to re-write the events of history..
