Separation - OH Resents 50/50 Split And Trying To Get Kids to Live With Him

Hi

Already posted on other threads - me and OH are separating - been married 23 years and for most of that time when the kids were young I was a full time mum but did have a part time job when my youngest started school which all lowed me to drop off/collect every day and run a house. Hubby worked full time. Kids not so much are now 16 and 19.

I got into debt a 3 years ago which I regret so much and when he found out he went mental, forced me to get a full time job and I had to complete spreadsheets for meals for the week, weekly spending, checked my bank account every 4 days. This sent me into a spiral of depression where I actually contemplated suicide. Anyway I eventually got a loan too repay the debt and its due to be paid off in 2 months.

Now we are separating he is moaning at the kids that he feels betrayed and there was no trust and hes not happy that I am entitled to half of everything including his pension. I have a pension from a job I had pre marriage CETV 118k which he is entitled to half of 80%.

His pension will be worth around 400k.

I am hurt, crying, frustrated. I don't know what to do. He is making me feel like a sponger. He is now trying to tell the kids that he is sad so they will stay with him. Hes been controlling, moody, verbally abusive all through our marriage.

Don't know what I am looking for here - just needed to rant.

Thanks for reading

Just quietly point out to DC that he was only able to achieve what he did, because you did all the home stuff, so it was 50:50 even when they were little.
DC will want what is familiar and to stay in their own home generally.
So whoever stays in family home, will get DC by default.
At 16 and 19 they will be doing more with their friends and home is more a hotel.

Weenurse thanks. Already tried that. He thinks he has been hard done by and that I had a jolly time raising a family whilst he worked full time

He has totally devalued my parenting over the years. It's not nice.

Kids want us to sell as we have nightmare neighbors and start afresh but he is now using the poor him card to sway the kids. Btw I work full time and he earns 2 k more than me.

27 years together all told meant nothing according to him

You are well rid of him then.

Weenurse I know. He is incandescent with rage at me being entitled to half. He can't hide it.
