Grrrrr I'm so angry tonight I could cry. My beautiful little boy has chicken pox and has been looking forward to seeing his Daddy all week (hardly ever sees him these days). But his dad is refusing to see him now because he is ill!! He has never seen him when he is ill. He is sooooooo SELFISH!!! Can't he think about my beautiful son instead of himself for a change?? I find it so, so hard to control my anger sometimes. Anbody got any good methods?

Hello PB
Could've screamed for you myself when I read that he won't come around to see your son when he's ill. Selfish sums it up but almost doesn't go far enough - and how on earth do you explain an inadequate dad to a son who's looked forward to seeing him all week.
I often wonder if father's don't also do this to get at the mothers because they know they'll be so angry and frustrated by the hurt caused to their children.
I suppose it's a controlling behaviour if they know that by not turning up they will wind up the other parent and maybe all the other parent can do is to deprive them of any reaction at all.
I don't really have any tips on the anger front as I vary in my success at controlling my own and I often don't even take my own advice..
I just know that bottling it up doesn't help your stress levels. And if you can't scream, which is isn't always a viable option, then at least you can share it.
Hope the chicken pox is on the wane (and hoping 'dad' gets his comeuppance..)
