Hi There, I've been a member on MN for a while now, but never posted on here.
I'm not sure what to do, so i thought i would ask you lovely people on here, and maybe make up my mind.
Here goes.....
I am a single mum of 5 children, My eldest is 16 and he see's his dad every weekend.
I have 4 girls aged 3-8 by my second relationship.
I split from my girls dad when i was 5 weeks pregnant with my youngest, as he started becoming violent.
I have been on my own since, which does get kinda lonely, but no one is gonna wanna be with someone with 5 children!
My girls dad moved in with a woman who lives 5 minutes walk away, and went on to have 2 more children now aged around 2 and 1.
I never stopped him from seeing them, he just wasn't interested.
Recently they decided they wanted to meet him, so i went to his house to see if he would meet them, Every child has a right to know who their dad is, (Even if he is a complete waste of space)
To cut a long story short he agreed to meet them, took my number and said he would be in contact.
Sadly he never did call, but instead moved to another town.
He has told people that he doesn't think my girls are his, and that he has asked me for DNA which i won't agree to.
This is absolute rubbish, as i know 100% they are his, (they also look just like him) but it's an easy way to make himself not look bad.
I am fed up of the way people look at me, as i know they think bad things about me, which just aren't true. I get so embarrassed.
I have stuck around as i have a fantastic friend who lives next door to me, we are more like family as i have no family of my own, sadly they died when i was younger.
She is moving to the other side of town,to look after her elderly in laws, and has asked me to move near to her, but my ex's family lives there, so i would rather not.
I would love to move away and start again, but my children are settled in school, so i don't know what to do, plus how long before the kids at school start saying stuff to them, as my ex is friends with some of the parents from the school.
Also i'm terrified of moving, and i have no idea where to go.
If you have managed to read all this, then i would like to thank you, and i would welcome any advice.
Niece.
