thank you @torico for your feedback, I guess it really hurt because he has always undervalued what I done as a mother. It has been difficult at times the last year being a single parent and then 6 months ago to lose my sister, I really expected him to be more present for his daughters and to help me in raising them even though we are not together. But instead he just wanted to put me down and not even acknowledge that I am doing my best to to support them and nurture their development. I should know now not to expect anything from him, but after 11 years together it is hard. xx
