My child's dad hasn't seen her since she was 3 (so nearly 10 years). He owes thousands in maintenance. He was an abusive, gaslighting psychopath.
Shortly after I left him, he met and married someone, and had a child with her. I was never sure if she knew about his daughter with me.
My child has really suffered - I'm currently paying for bloody expensive therapy.
From the little I've been able to glimpse from online nosing over the years, they have an idyllic life. It's always sickened me that he's been able to present this false persona to someone who appears, from what I can tell, to be a decent person (I mean if she knows he's abandoned my child, then obviously she's not that decent).
The other day, after not having thought about them for ages,.I had a snoop on her insta (she does holistic treatments etc) and there was an 'inspirational' quote about being single- I don't think it was meant to be in her words per se but it did include the words 'I'm single'. I almost jumped for joy- this man does NOT deserve happiness!!!!! She's seen the light I thought. It filled me with glee I am not ashamed to say.
But then upon further snooping and extreme zooming in, I saw a very recent video with her still wearing a wedding ring. I was beyond disappointed.
HOWEVER, having had another look- I'm now not sure whether the 'ring' is just a bump where the ring used to be?
I know this is not quite the point of the thread (and is probably in poor taste, so shoot me) but please Mumsnet, help me get back that feeling of evil joy!!
Ring or no ring??!?
(L, if you see this, and you haven't done so already - I hope you get rid of that abusive, gaslighting, child abandoning compulsive liar).
