I separated from my husband 18 months ago and had nothing but grief since. He was extremely controlling, cheated on me and has stalked me since I left. It’s like dealing with Jekyll and Hyde, he goes from calm to explosive in the blink of an eye and still tries to blame me for the separation, I’m sure he’s told his friends I was the one that cheated on him so no blame lies with him.
I left the house we own together and struggled on a low income and had had to get a rented house. He’s dragged his heels on the divorce so I can’t get my share of money out our house.
He makes it a game to pay what ever amount of child maintenance he feels like. After 18 months (god knows why it took me so long) I went to the CSA and from next month he has to pay me a decent amount. But out of spite he’s not paid me a penny this month! I’m going to be so skint this month, I’m going to struggle to get ends to meet. Why can Ex’s be such dicks? I’m 18 months after the split and things seem as bad as they always were. My DS is only 3, please tell me I haven’t got another 15 years of my Ex trying to control me and being a tosser?

Argh gosh, I'm a fair way behind you so can't offer you any particular wisdom or experience, but you do have my sympathies! I expect my X will be equally difficult. Good luck with getting through the next month. Hope things start improving for you x
