Man child?

Also, I kinda went through the same, sorta. After the massive accident that shattered my right side, I was getting around on a walker after my then wife gave birth to my beautiful, now 16 year old daughter. Now granted, she was working full time and coping with her husband getting maimed a lamed, but I'd put in a full day of child rearing, home care, and meal prep, and when she came home she put ZERO effort into parenting. Not even bedtime story time. All on me. Thank God my daughter was an absolute angel and easy to care for. To this day, my ex wife wonders why she doesn't have as close a relationship with my daughter as I do.

Good for you. Life's too short to remain miserable with someone who doesn't respect you and who isn't fully invested in both the relationship and the child rearing.
