My ex left me with two small kids and refused to pay anything for them 'as you'll only spend it on yourself'
The csa where worse than useless
Not long after,he fell into the world of drugs and became a dealer
It was cringy to watch him flash £10k in cash while I was scraping loose change to buy nappies
Silly prat changed his pin number to the kids birthdays (so let's say their birthdays where 10/1/1998 and 20/2/2000,his pin was 1020)
Silly prat had their names and dates of birth tattooed on his arm and mentioned to his friends that his kids birthdays where his pin numbers
'Unfortunately' (for him) these people saw him for the pillock he is,stole his card and used his pin to spend all his ill gotten gains
Bank refused to refund him as his pin was literally tattooed on his arm (which he proudly pointed out) and the dealers where not best happy with him (hes not the brightest,he would take cheques from people for the drugs)
Around this time,flatscreen tvs where becoming a thing,along with dvd players
I couldn't afford a loaf of bread,which he knew but my father played a blinder
He knew ex couldn't bear to not have the latest 'thing' if someone else had something,he wouldn't rest until he had it too (ex also knows my father is genuinely loaded)
My father happened to bump into him in the street and mentioned that not only had he bought 'one of those new tv's and dvd players,ive bought one for every room in the house' (Utter bollocks,my father doesn't spend money)
Ex saw red and rushed out to buy himself 3/4 tvs and dvd players (at this point the players where about £400/500 each and the tvs about a grand
A few weeks later,my father let slip to a friend of ex that he was upgrading my mothers car to one that cost 100,000k and a posh motorbike for himself and that they where going away on a 5* holiday,knowing it would get back to ex but ex was too thick and greedy to actually check-he just heard of someone having something he didnt and would rush to buy it
It worked,ex upgraded-this went on for months-my father claiming he'd bought something for cash and ex running out to buy it for real on credit
Everything from underpants to doing up a house he rented,you name it,my father claimed he'd bought it and ex fell over himself to do the same
Was a good day when he went bankrupt about a year later and within a few months after that,he went to prison for the drug dealing
He still blames my father for him going bankrupt and its nothing to do with his own greed
