Let me further introduce myself:
I have two daughters, currently aged six and eight years. One, the little one, is weird. Which I can cope with, but she is also crazy nuts and can’t cope with people and I can’t cope with her when she doesn’t cope.. so the Aspergers/ Sensory processing disorder/ anxiety/etc investigation is ongoing. I say that like it’s a long process. It’s not. I just procrastinate a lot.
On May 4th 2012 the girls father was involved in a serious car accident. It was equivalent to traveling over 300km/hr to a dead stop when he hit another vehicle head-on and both were speeding. It was ascertained he fell asleep at the wheel and ventured into oncoming traffic. No charges were laid due to poor police investigation.
We had been in a relationship for 12 years prior to this accident, and had been separated for four months.
I was his only next of kin in the state. He discharged himself from hospital two weeks exactly from the crash, after almost a week in a coma. And I nursed him at my home for five months.
I literally would sit him up to pee, and lay my body weight across him after to counter-act the shock his skeletal frame would suffer from basic functions.
Afterwards, he accused me of “basically ignoring him” the whole time he was in my home. I didn’t justify this with a response because I had finally, FINALLY, come to realise the extent of his emotional abuse and if almost dying isn’t enough to bring him around, nothing is.
Recently, he was (FINALLY) officially diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I believe it was only due to the obligatory counseling post-car-crash that lead him here. I don’t care. Red flags are raised from my youngest child’s behaviour that she may be following by example. Sigh. Child counseling… it’s an okay thing, right? Maybe under the guise of “dad almost died”… we could start with an ajar door there. Perhaps.
For future reference, his name was Nathan.
