Nobody has ever really heard from my girls personally. And of course none of the people who blindly support Joel have asked them their thoughts or feelings, or sought anything out from them at all. The girls OFTEN say, "What about us? What do these people think about us...about how we feel and think? Do they just not care?"
They saw the post their father made about them. And, they've left things alone and not commented or talked on other things. But, this was different. It was about them specifically. They wanted to comment and put their voices out there...so they did.
He responded by silencing those voices. He responded by deleting their words and saying in his best politician font that he wanted to resolve this in a healthy manner with our counselor...which we have already tried to do many times with him over the years. He knows what will be said...he never listens or cares enough to do what is needed. But, he wanted to save face there on his post. There's been no more communication since.
As someone said, "So sad that he is more worried about how people perceive him than the feelings of his daughters."What did he post next? A joke. A funny meme.
This is who he is. This is apparently what his followers (who include people who used to be MY friends and family) like...and they don't seem to see a thing wrong with it. He comments after his daughters bare their souls on his post with a blanket "We'll handle this with our counselor in a healthy manner"...and then he posts a joke, like nothing in the world is wrong in his life. The people who are in his life (the ones who abandoned me and my kids) apparently see nothing wrong with that. They prefer it.
How is this so?
Do you even care? Maybe you hate me, but how can you abandon and dismiss the kids?
