I've been a single parent for literally a matter of hours. I told myself we were going to be grownups about this, but somehow ended up telling him to leave last night. Our dcs are all young, including a baby. I feel crap yet also slightly better; i've never really been happy in the relationship - he's always been a liar - god knows we should have split years ago but i was spineless. We split before but the bottom line now is dd copying him; she's turning into the kind of person who can lie almost without 'tells'. I just can't sit by & let that happen.
I worry about money - he's kipping on sofas but wants his own place. I worry about how i'm going to hold down my part tine job. I worry about getting ill & who would be there for the kids. I worry about telling the kids - it's dds birthday in a few weeks. I worry about telling the inlaws (who've never liked me) & telling my parents (who are completely unsupportive & have always advised me to stay in this crappy marriage (like they did).
Sorry, just needed to vent.
