Long back story, in a nutshell - EXP left my son and me almost 5 months ago. It was a dreadful split under traumatic (to only me it seems) circumstances. I've gone into lots of detail about it all on other threads so wont bore you all with it now....
Left up shit creek financially, was in the middle of selling our house when he left. Admissions for Reception place for DS opens in October so I have been left with the absolute nightmare of trying to secure us a place to live in the catchment of a good school, on a very tight time frame. On my wage alone. He is contributing enough CM to cover exactly 50% of childcare costs.
He collects DS almost every single time in brand new clothes. New coat, new shoes, sunglasses etc. I know they're all new because I shared 14 years of my life with him. I hear from friends that he is posting on facebook canvassing opinions on his new (expensive) tattoo designs. He was chatting happily about how he has joined a gym only the other day. And also publicly declared his 'single' status.
I am still raw. But really, this is incredibly insensitive, right? He knows how much pressure I am under financially and what an absolute mess he has left us in. Why would he be so blatant about it? I feel like I am almost being laughed at. Look at my great new life, no worries at all.
I've had enough of all of this now. It's hard enough to keep going, get us financially stable again and parent a difficult 2 year old by myself without all of this paraded in front of me too. Why is he doing this? I feel like I've had my life ripped away and he's skipping away laughing.

Op I totally understand!! My ex partner left me in Jan (pregnant and 2 year old) left me up shit Creek financially emotionally everything.
He is currently buying a new flat with the ow. Me I'm trying to get our family home sorted to be sold not got 2 pennies together! Him going away Romantic trips with his gf living a life of luxury.
Me struggling to afford everything for baby and toddler wearing clothes I had before the baby (I've lost 6st since). Living with my parents as I have no money for rent and can't get housing benefit because I have a house. I can't stay in the house because he refuses to pay the mortgage.
Sending you 
for you too Hurt.
It beggars belief how some people behave. I'm also living with my parents now, at the grand age of 35. It's fucking depressing.
I really don't want to feel this full of rage for the rest of my life. How do I let it go?
Hurt, I really hope things start to work out for you. My friends keep reminding me karma is a bitch, I really fucking hope so.
