I broke up with my daddy because he decided an hour before I needed to leave for surgery, that he couldn't drive me. This was such a surgery that required me to have a ride or escourt home. I've had a dozen or so of them and will need several more.
I'm not upset that he wasn't able to drive me, but I needed more than an hour to find a replacement. His excuse was that he was injured. He had not broken a limb. While he was injured, the solution was stitches, and he had been injured a week earlier. I'm all for his choice not to give me a ride, but he had agreed to when the appointment had been made. If he hadn't, I could have found another ride.
He's been drinking to excess and is not treating his illness appropriately. If his alcohol is more important than me, than so be it.
I'm not asking him to get back with me, nor is that a real possiblility at this point, but he's sending me these pity party types of emails about how the breakup is all my fault. I didn't tell him I was breaking up with him, he made that decision, I said he needs to treat me better if he wants to stay together.
I'm willing to be friends with him if he can get appropriate treatment for his illnesses, including alcoholism. I'm sure he isn't going to, but he has that chance.
I've got someone else I'm interested in, not dating the guy now, I know him, he's a nice man, but he's probably not interested in getting together with a disabled person. I'm not saying he's anti disabled people, but my health issues take a lot out of me, anyone would have issues with that if they are used to mountian climbing, camping, swimming, etc.
I'm not trying to convince the ex to return to me, probably wouldn't take him if he tried. I'm not asking the guy I'm interested in to get closer, I'd like that, but I understand his hesitation. Just trying to share my lessons learned.
Thank You
