I am in a situation with my ex partner who has emotionally abused me for years . I have only just come to this realisation in the past 6 months . He has been staying with his mother as she is ill and did not have to stay every night ( he could have worked something out with his family ) there are careers going in everyday ! He works every day but tells people he is looking after his mother when he's not . He plays people for sympathy loves drama and is always the victim . He originally left as we had a mouse in our home and he used this as an excuse . Saying it was because of my hoarding that we had mice . He cannot seem to show love or his emotions . I really think he has a disorder if some sort but he seems able to function well in front of other people . At home he sits in a room of his own and cannot communicate with my daughter and I . I have lived a horrible life with him being emotionally abusive controlled and being ignored . I have accepted that he is the problem which has lead to my ill health in the last 2 years both physically and emotionally . He has never been a good parent either . I shouldn't ha d allowed it to go on so long . I need to know the right help to get for me and my child . Please advise as best you can as I don't know where to turn . He continues to come back here and goes to the room for 2 hours and then leaves . He asks my child if she's ok is everything ok in school . I could write his script every day . I have shut down completely from him and
