So it's Christmas Eve. DK's are with STBXH until 8:30 tomorrow morning except for DD who will never spend the night under the same roof as STBXH. I've given up trying to get the Insurance Company to approve my AD, and track down an open pharmacy to pay $200 out of pocket for my refill. DF (darling father) is watching "The Bicycle Thief", probably one of the most depressing movies of all time. I'm arguing with DM (darling mother) about boundaries in disciplining the DKs (no, she cannot ground them all from video games indefinitely because one DK won't fess up to problem). All while taping up the vent in my bathroom so I don't have to smell the dead mouse in the ceiling anymore.
So I decide to fill stockings and 'hang them by the chimney with care' to cheer myself up. DD walks in the door carrying a box of Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, my traditional gift from STBXH. DD hands them to me saying "Here, Dad gave these to me to give to you."
The good news is that I manage not to burst out crying until DD has retreated to her room (she's 16, it's what she does).
So let me just say, FUCK THAT GUY, I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE NICE!!! I don't want to be reminded of better times. I don't need anything else during this time to point out just how fucked up everything is BECAUSE OF HIS DECISIONS!!! He doesn't get to try to make it up to me because SOME THINGS SORRY DOESN'T FIX!!
We are Divorcing, that means "Fuck off and die!"
Maybe I'll put the Cinnabon Rolls in the ceiling with the dead mouse so his buddies can give him one hell of a send off.
There, I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

And if he does, it damn sure better be more than Cinnabon rolls... I don't care how good they are!!!
But seriously, eat those bad boys for breakfast and FTG.

^^^THIS^^^^
....is totally true. My WH is just feeling sorry for himself. I think this is the first time in his life that he has actually had consequences. And cinnamon rolls + sorry isn't any better. We also had a mouse problem at my parents house!! It got
caught in a trap though so much less gross. Hang in there. (Me, too), and FTG!

DD hands them to me saying "Here, Dad gave these to me to give to you."
When I read this line, my jaw dropped, literally.
Are you fucking kidding me? What a complete ASSHOLE. He probably wants to 'get along for the kids' and is having fond memories of the life he shredded.
On Christmas eve he pulls this. FTG!!!

Thing is, he wasn't being nice. He was being passive-aggressive. And he involved your daughter, which is unconscionable.
So don't ponder the what-ifs and think of better times. Think of his manipulation and douchebaggery.
It wasn't nice.
And he KNOWS it.

I'd be like "(chew), (munch), FTG, yum!, (swallow), FTG". Might not be enough to make up for anything but deliciously edible.
The waywards love to take and cake eat, etc. As long as you put no meaning behind it I don't think there's any problem taking what little you can enjoy from STBX.

So glad to hear that it wasn't a 'nice gesture.' Sometimes it's hard to judge from the inside.
I think I'm gonna go have some cinnamon rolls with the kids. FTG.
