Stress on top of stress on top of stress!

Wow, today has been very stressful. My ex-husband didn't come to pick up his daughter for the weekend. He actually said that work was more important to him. How can anything be more important to someone then their children? I don't understand how he can go so long without seeing Emma. It kills me when she leaves me for the weekend. I am ready for her to go with her dad when its time, but then I can't wait for her to come home. This was supposed to be my weekend to finally relax a little. I have plane tickets to Vegas for the weekend, and now I can't go. My dad and me were going for my birthday, and it would have been the first time going to Vegas for me. Now I am stuck at home, with my beautiful little girl. She is too young to know her dad was coming to get her. I just hope he doesn't do this when she gets older, like my dad did to me and my sister. I remember how hurt I was when my dad didn't show up and didn't call to tell us he wasn't coming. I won't let her feel that hurt, I will do anything to protect her from that pain. Sometimes I just feel like screaming, even though I know it won't help.
