So it took shit on the loo seat to snap

So after 6 months of huge issues etc over his drinking I told him to piss off and get out over some shit on the toilet seat!

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and when we first discovered this unplanned pregnancy he acted like a total dick, getting smashed and trying to make me have a abortion on the basis that he would marry me next year and maybe we could try for a baby in a few years (I'm nearly 35) whilst referring to the baby as "that little cunt" I have had previous post about this! We split up then and I stupidly gave him another chance after he promised to get help for the drinking and attend AA meeting...... In the space if 3 weeks he has stopped going to meetings and now says he is just having a brake from drinking until football season starts then will drink more in control!

Final thing for me was this morning when he basically lined up my 3 children to demand to know who got shit on the loo seat! The fuss he made was just bloody stupid, I just looked at him and realised we can never live together he makes me and my kids miserable, he is just not a child friendly person..... Why have I put up with him and put my children through this for the last 2 years?

So now I will be a single mum to his baby (my 4th) but I'm feeling postive and I think I will be fine, please someone tell me I will be and that you to have been in this situation.

Just needed to write this down

I think being a single mum is the best thing for your family, they dont need an abusive alcoholic in their lives.

Good for you, Minty. Have a fabulous weekend with your kids and bump without that complete cock ruining things. You'll all be much happier without him and, even though it may be a little hard at first, just think how much brighter all if your futures are without him in it. Thanks

I haven't been in your position with my partner, but I have known families broken by heavy drinkers.
It sounds as if things are getting worse and if he doesn't make a serious effort to stop his habit he's going to drag you all down with him. So I agree with the others that you should make a clean break, sooner rather than later.
If the shock of that makes him realise he has to clean up his act, you will even be doing him a favour too.

You know what? You will be fine.

I ended up a single parent at 34 weeks pregnant with dc6. Exdp wasn't a drinker but he was like an observer & we weren't a partnership. Life is a bit mad but easier!

Dd is 5 weeks old. Exdp hasn't even seen her...

There will be loads of things you prefer about life without him.

Take care of yourself & your dc.

Good for you! The guy sounds a horrid git and you're well rid. You and your sweet children deserve SO much better. To whichever of the kids left the shit on the toilet seat - well done!

In my experience, alcoholics seldom see the light (OK, some do, but don't know any). You've done the right thing, got rid of him.

Congratulations on the new baby - he/she is lucky to have a brilliant mum and how nice your kids are so looking forward to the new arrival. Lots of congratulations.

Well I think you can't possibly get away from this man soon enough.
"That little cunt" would have been it for me.
Glad the shit on the seat happened. Now you've reached your limit. Good.

Great and now he is back in touch, how does he manage to turn things around!!!!

This is not just about the shit on the seat this is about all the drinking and the issues we have had for the last year that have not been addressed or delt with and just brushed under the carpet!

Apprantly I'm a terrible mother who let's her kids get away with everything because IT IS NOT NORMAL for a 6 year old to shit on a loo seat and to clean off herself or come and tell me IMMEDIATLY......... Really???
