It is 2 years since I left exp now and I've still got the same problems, nothing has changed.
I can't see the maintenance issue will ever be sorted, he will use every trick in the book to get out of paying the correct amount and there is nothing I can do. If I tell him I'm broke, he tells me I shouldn't have broadband, a mobile phone, a new sofa (he has my old one) etc. Basically, I should go without everything to ensure that the kids are ok. He won't pay extra because I might benefit.
I am stuck living in an area that I don't really like. The HA have said they won't consider transferring me and no one will rent to me privately.
I'm not in a position to work as chilcare arrangements for 4 children would be a nightmare, not to mention too expensive.
Contact arrangements re ds2 are still difficult. After the incident this week, I don't know what to do now. He has said he will take me to court, but this doesn't particularly bother me as he has as much access as he wants and always turns down extra opportunities.
His new girlfriends car is parked permanently outside his house. He only lives down the road from the school and I feel like I am having my nose rubbed in it, more so now he keeps making comments about how I should get on with my life.
I'm also worried that she will move in and sent her dd to the same school as my kids. I couldn't stand it.
I'm worrying that if anything goes wrong with my car, I'll never afford a new one. I'm worried about everything really.
Tell me things will change or give me some suggestions on how I can change things because I feel clueless at the moment. :(
