Why Does He Think I Won't Get Mad? 

ARGGGG!!!!!!   I am so mad at that ex of mine !!   My daughter's quinceanera (15th birthday party) was Saturday and that turd didn't even bother to show up.  He didn't call, he never came.  The party went beautifully but he never showed his face.  He has known about this party for over 6 months in the planning stages and ever so often, I would call and make sure that he was going to be there, even offering him a ride there, and he always told me "yes" that he would be there.  I put in a phone call to him a few days before the party and he told me of all his problems, none which I could help with, and something that was supposed to be solved days before the party.  The day before the party, he would not answer his phone. I had a sinking feeling inside me and I knew that he was not going to show.  I spoke to my daughter about it, and she told me that she would not be upset if he didn't show because she has finally come to know how he is.  Now, if this had been last year, I would have had to calm down a hysterically, crying girl, but she has grown up some since then and I think that she is finally discovering things about him that she never saw before......and without my saying anything.   He did send her a text message on her birthday, a few days before the party telling her happy birthday and that he loved her, but no phone call and again, no appearance.  I am so angry at him and I want so bad to call him and chew him out, but I know it won't do any good.....besides which, he probably will see my number on his caller i.d. and choose not to answer.  Thanks for hearing my vent.
