I’ve been vocal about my situation so I’m not concerned if this is outing.
I was with my ex for over 12 years, and our relationship resulted in 2 children (Mr10 and Miss4). We dated very young, had our first DC at 20. I was the first person my ex slept with.
I’ve dealt with a lot of tragedies in my life, and as a result my mental health teeters a lot. I take medication for depression and anxiety. I have been suicidal in the past.
My ex came out as gay, and moved on very quickly. He moved back to his parents; where 20 months on he now lives there with his husband (yet they gos married and his husband moved over from across the water!).
Our ‘relationship’ is now non-existent and Co-parenting is failing miserably. I despise the man he is, what he’s done to me and DC and the fact he pays the minimum amount in child maintenance, and barely pulls his weight with his children. Everything that he used to think was horrific when we seen friends or family separate!
I feel trapped, taken for granted and like I have no choices. I often dream of a life where I just start over again, and the only reason I don’t is because my children deserve a better life. I have asked ex to have children 50/50 and his latest excuse is that he can’t because him and his husband both work full time. I told him I’m due to start a full time role and he said this is my issue and I’m clearly capable of covering childcare.
I’ve sent a message blasting him - he is a self centred narcissist and I genuinely don’t know how much longer I can continue going back and forth with this.
why do I have to take responsibility of parenting two kids whilst he gets to Swan about life without a bloody care in the world?!
