Q: the Story of Neil Being An A**hole (really Bad)

Ok so neil came round to see logan for his birthday. I just knew it would end in tears but I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

When he came in he had a big smile on his face and announced 'i'm going to the army in april' I laughed thinking he was joking but he was deadly serious. He hasn't signed up yet but his contract with the company his working for ends in april so he said it's the ideal oppurtunity.

I was speechless. He has talked about joining the army in the past (whilst we were together) and I told him if he ever did I would leave him cause he would be turning his back on me and the kids.

He has no logic behind joining the army. He is not doing it for his counrty (he is portuguese) he basically just wnats to do it for him so he is going to risk never seeing his kids again.

I said what about your kids? Aren't you going to miss them?!!! He said I will visit them twice a year. I said no to this because I think it will break the kids hearts seeing their dad twice a year for a week. They will miss him like crazy. I'd rather they never see him.

All he could talk about was how he has to break up with his new girlfriend. I said I don't give a f**k about maria. Your kids should come before anything! Including a stupid urge you have.

I'm sure he thinks it's going to be a vacation or something! He said to me 'you always knew I wanted my freedom' then robbie said 'freedom? Are you serious? You don't have freedom in the army. You do as your said and work like a dog'

i don't even know if he'll get in as he has a problem with one of his eyes and he can't see 100% out of it. But the way I feel I said to my mum and robbie that if he even makes the application (even if he doesn't get in) then i'm not going to let him see the kids anymore because in my eyes he has deserted them already in his mind. I will fight it in court if I have to.

He is such a selfish a**hole for putting a stupid whim that he has before the kids. I could understand if he had a valid reason other than 'i just want to do it'

i told him to get out of my house and then I burst into tears when he left.I just feel so sad for my kids that their dad is going to desert them. I grew up without a dad so I know how it feels. That is the only reason why I am angry at him for doing this

Wow! I don't even know what to say becks... I'm sorry that you feel that way about it. Personally, I feel the same way that you do about the army but I don't know if that's typical or not for americans. Seems like here joining the army is the thing to do. Patriotic glory and all that. But you said he's not doing it for patriotism... I can't understand why he would want to join the army and be unable to see logan and layla... I'm sorry to hear that he's that much of an ass...

Thank you for that. He said many times that he hates england and wishes he was back in portugal so to serve for this country is just highly hypocritical.

P.S d you still want robbie to make the elf ears?

Thats cool. He can do it over the weekend. I will get onto him to let you know the price for materials and I will work out shipping. We won't charge you anything on top of the bare minimum required (obviously you're my friend)

Aww,i'm sorry beck.So robby was there while neil was there? Or you told robby and he made that comment?
Poor kids,i don't know your laws but here in the states I don't think they would grant you full custody and not let their dad see them .You'll have to have some real good reasons for him to be totally out of their lives girl.

Awww! It's cool to be bilingual. Plus kids learn a lot faster than you think, it won't confuse them a bit! And since they'll be speaking english at home with you, they'll be perfectly fluent in english. It's a little harder to learn when you're older. I grew up speaking english and spanish, and a little kreyol. I'm not as fluent in kreyol because I learned it later. English i'm perfect, spanish I can say anything that I can say in english. Kreyol I have to think too hard so I don't really use it...

Amelia's nana talks spanish....She is learing both because all day long clemensia talks spanish to her and I talk english to her.....So hopefully she will speak both....My mother speaks spanish and french both and so my mom talks spanish to her during the weekend so that she doesnt' loose it. Lol i'm wierd...

Well becks...If you are getting a divorce just wait until he is in the army...I dont' know about over there....But here the army takes care of the family and if you get a divorce while he is in the army they will make him pay...If I am not mistaken you can get housing too.

that's how you spell creole in kreyol. I didn't learn the cajun french/louisiana creole or whatever it's really called. I learned haitian creole or kreyol.

Aw hun I am so sorry to hear that he still has his head up his butt. I havnt been on in a while I was hoping that it would get better for you and kids not worse. My heart goes to you and kids. But like she said I would wait till he joins the army before the divorse if you can hold out that long.
