I’ve had enough!!! I need to vent!! I really want to take my ex to court but I’m scared because of all the things that I've heard can happen in favour of abusive men, and I’ve read so many horror stories. I’m scared it will backfire on me and him and his gf end up getting the kid’s living with them and they live an hour away and I won’t get to see them. He’s a horrible horrible man. He is supposed to have kids after school Thursday and Friday by picking them up from school yet he’s saying he finishes work at 4:30 tomorrow so won’t get here till 5 that means I have to rush around giving them tea before he comes! He won’t be having them Friday because of work. I’m so stressed, then he brings them back at 10pm so I’m left dealing with bedtime at that time ( says he starts work early morning so has to bring them back) I’ve asked him time and time again to talk to his manager to get set days off work but he hasn’t. He’s been refusing to give me set days for 2 years blaming his shift work job but he could do better than this. I can’t have a life, I can’t cope !!!! He said to me today to ‘grow up, move on, that I’m his past’ yet won’t do things properly so I can move on!! I just need to vent! It's actually making me feel very suicidal
I can’t even stop contact tomorrow because my 14 year old texts him and arranges things with him and complains to him about me so then that causes problems for me and me trying to get a proper contact arrangement for all kids. She says she hates me and she prefers her dad and that I should let him take them when he wants because he’s their dad, she doesn’t understand what it’s doing To me. He’s got into her head so bad!! It’s causing chaos in our lives. Do I really have to live like this??
