2 years..
2 years of no contact, of only wondering if you're still breathing the same air as me.
its odd, because i've spent most of my life wanting some sort of answer from you, some sort of explanation as to why you didn't try, as to how you can do on in life knowing nothing about me, not even the slightest interest, not one speck of love. how easy it is to get a hold of me, never once fighting for me, never once trying to make this work. and after all this time of wanting you to be my father, and have things go in the direction of happily ever after, i know now the answer ive been so long searching for, and you didnt have to say anything at all. and now when i really think about it, do i even really want someone as negative as you in my life? its easy for someone to say to just get over you and move on, and as much as i have given up on so many things in life, i fought so hard just for you to want to know me and be my father. when you have so much hope invested as well as everything youve got left to give..your heart and soul in to something, its just really fucking easier said than done. but judging by the past couple of days, i really am done, and its bc i know that i tried, ive hurt myself over you so many god damn times, drank myself to fucking sleep or drove myself insane simply bc you cant be my father and dont love me, and i know that if anything happens horribly to you i will have no regrets, and i will be at peace knowing i gave it everything i had to give, and i wouldnt be beating myself up wishing i had tried harder. you cant make your father love you or want to take care of you, i cant make you want me to be your little girl...im just not her anymore, that little girl has vanished and now i just have to pick up the pieces start over and move on with myself, for my own well being.
i cant begin to explain the amount of pain i felt yesterday when my dads whore gf called me. i finally found his information and called him about a week ago, but she answered so i hung up, then on saturday i kept attempting, wanting to leave a voicemail but just going back and forth with myself..hanging up..hanging up. finally i gathered myself on saturday and left a voicemail, taking yet, another chance and possibly (evidently) setting myself up..again. this was at about 11 a.m. ish. so yesterday im driving home around 2 p.m. and as i went to text bc we all know what a safe driver i am texting and driving, i didnt hear my phone ring so when i went to slide it up i answered a call which so happened to be my dads whore gf. it went something along the lines of this.
anna the whore: " hi ashlee, fjdajfdhakfhahfkalhfalhfka"
ash: " what? who is this?"
whore: " its anna "
ash : " who?"
whore: " omg like its anna, chris' gf"
and mind you her tone is like shes in the best mood of her life, so uplifted. that only irritated me, it would.
whore: " i just wanted to call you to let you know that WE got your message"
hmmm theres just a little too many people in that fucking WE bullshit.
she proceeded to tell me: " ashlee your dad is actually butthurt because he said hes invited you over, but you didnt want to come because you dont like me"
ash: " first of all regardless of whether i like you or not, i would never ever let anyone get in the way of my time with my father, ive fought too damn hard to try and be in his life to say or do something like that, and furthermore hes never even invited me over, and you see i didnt not like you, but now i do have a problem with you because you are my dads fucking gf and you cant even push him to be in his own daughters life, so dont give me that omg we like totally tried, its bullshit and its really ridiculous and im sick of this shit"
i let her have it basically, im not one you want to fight with verbally, you just wont win.
she then got snappy with me, real attitude like: " well you know what ashlee, christopher has a mind of his own okay, hes a big boy you know"
holy fucking christ
then she tried to tell me this woman to woman bullshit..
me : " granted he has a mind of his own and i dont hold you fully responsible, but fact is bitch you are his girlfriend and bottom line i have not even seen or spoken to my father in 2 fucking years, you are apart of his life, and you know WOMAN TO WOMAN, you need to be a woman and tell YOUR MAN to take care of his fucking kid"
whore: " well you know ashlee hes tried, hes left you messages, hes actually hurt about you, you know he works so hard everyday....blahhh fucking blahh, and oh yea hes got all of your letters"
in between all of this conversation, i did apoligize if i spoke with her in a disrespectful manner, because i was raised to not talk to elders in that way, my mom raised me better, but when someone doesnt respect me and tries to play me for a fool, i was also raised to stand up for myself..you know.." as a woman"
me:" you know what im sick of this poor christopher boo hoo fucking sob story, its getting just a little too old, and for the record he has not tried shit, why in the fuck would i be beating myself up, crying myself to fucking sleep if hes tried, that statement makes no fucking possible sense"
whore: " he said hes tried ashlee.."
me: " bullshit bitch, HE HAS NOT TRIED!"
now mind you, this is my dads whore ex crackhead gf, and this message was not even FOR HER!. im thinking to myself why and the fuck is this bitch even calling me? that only made me more heated and led to more verbal abuse to her just being silent, attitude with me in between. i did not yell at her, its weird bc when im really mad, i dont yell, my voice gets strong but i dont yell, bc i want you to hear my words which will hurt you. shes like well he said hes going to call you, yada yada, and that she WAS going to give me his celly but not anymore, i asked for it, but she like blew me off, and i was like : " give me his number now"
whore: " no ashlee, he said he will call you"
me: " no, thats not good enough, give it to me now"
whore: " well let me call him right now and tell him to call you"
me" you know what, go right the fuck ahead and you go do that"
whore: " fine then i will"
me: " you do that!"
whore: " FINE I WILL"
real fucking attitude..
i feel no pride in ripping someone up verbally, but it did feel good to get 2 years of repressed emotion out, well, 22 years if you want to get technical.
and to my not so surprise, he never called and it is now monday.
i really wouldnt be surprised if she was the only one who got the message, erased it and never told him, but still i dont let that play as an excuse for him..hes all out of them, and im not waiting around.
after that conversation, i couldnt help but to let it out bc i actually had to hold back on the phone with her bc i wasnt about to let her and really i dont like people to see or hear me cry. i sat in my car in the blazing fucking heat, just really broken down, it was hard to catch my breath and all i could do was hyper ventilate and shake thinking what the fuck just happened?, why is he doing this to me? what have i done thats so wrong to feel like my insides and every ounce of emotion were ripped out of me and put on display to promote how much of a fucking fool i am.
this is such a big step, more like a leap to finally see what i should have seen and known. i had my answer all along, but of course i just couldnt believe it, and i had to try. its a chance and risk i knew i was taking, i knew that more than likely i had a 99.9 percent chance that it wouldnt go the way i want, that there was a chance id be broken beyond belief, that i would get hurt, but its a chance i took, i just had to know for sure no matter the cost, even if its my own well being and heart at stake, i just had to know 100 percent that this man doesnt love me, and i cant make him. i get it now, i feel it..i felt it and saw it before, but now i know it...its for certain. feel, see and know. this is really out of everything by far the worst thing i have done to myself, the worst its felt, and ive never felt so alone and incomplete..shattered. and typical me, i try and hide it. its just something maybe i have to go through alone, something i have to do for myself, and who knows, maybe after all of this it might bring me to a better path. it hurts so much, but the weight off my back has been lifted, and i am 100% ready to let it go and move on. im ready to get back to being me.
pain and happiness.
