To everyone’s surprise, the OP’s wife commented on the post after it was sent to her by a friend.
“You are acting like a petulant child,” she started. “Our 5 year old daughter as more sense than you. No amount of words can describe how incredibly disappointed I am with you. I made an account so I can address you here before you make up anymore bulls— about ‘apologizing.'”
She went on. “Oh, and the apology call that you said you were going to make? I never got it. Thanks for ruining my dream vacation and making my mother and daughter see just how much of an a– that you are.”
And it didn’t get any better. “I see all of your replies. Starting it with a ‘Thank you for your response”‘. Well, when are you going to thank ME for all of your bulls— that I put up with on this trip?”
She also defended her mom. “My mother was generous enough to come along and help with our daughter, yet you continued to pester her with snide comments and petty remarks. What happened to ‘respect your elders?’ Or can you not stop being an a– for half a second? She is absolutely furious with the way you addressed her in this post, and rightfully so.”
And then came the kicker. “Also, I’m done serving this ‘family’. The only thing I’m going to serve you now are divorce papers, Mr. Solo Breadwinner. And I want full custody. I cannot let you be this kind of influence in my daughter’s life anymore. We are going to enjoy the rest of our lovely vacation without you, and I want your bags packed by the time we get back. ‘Thank you for your post, and thank you for abandoning us and your five year old daughter in Italy.'” Ouch.
