Long story...but SBXH have a breakdown last year and drinking heavily...OW (briefly) now in small flat, no car, money etc
May have BPD? Off work sick. seemed to be wanted to connect back with family and since leaving had a few self harm/ suicide (all drinking) related attemps.
Obviously wary about kids staying over, all though never shown any problems until after xmas when he text for me to pick them up as he had started drinking.
Since then he has spent nearly every weekend with us, going home during the week. cake and eat it comes to mind. Lots of hints about missing us etc. I realised I have been drawn in AGAIN!
So what to do now? Stop the visits and leave him to sort himself out, I dont think he even realises that he says only because I'm not letting him have the kids alone.
Obviously I (stupidly) wanted to get back on track as he was going to counselling etc. But its doing my head in keeping kids happy and him safe! No family within 200 miles. us us. Thanks for reading. Any advice welcome!
