I'm so sorry Multiplication, but when i read about the nail in the tyre with a piece of string attached, i had to laugh.. He seriously needs to get a life! How pathetic he now is!
It's a positive thing that you became angry in the end, it got you through and out the other side, hopefully one day that anger will disperse and you'll feel nothing, when you look at the sad sorry buggered up being he is..Someone said on here once that the best revenge is to live you're life, and be happy..
Once your DDs have talked it through, and realized it was his 'stuff', nothing to do with them, and not their faults, you can hopefully all be happy.. The fact your DD1 is starting counseling now is so good, that took courage to admit it to her tutor, she's strong like her mum! and hopefully she'll be able to help the others too eventually.
You are all moving forward, he never will..
If you have any wobbles, we're all here
