Am furious at myself! My ex was an emotionally abusive arse who never took any interest in our dd from the day I found out I was expecting. He had a drug habit which was hidden by compulsive lying, and had an emotional affair (at the least) towards the end of our marriage when I eventually plucked up the courage to chuck him out last summer. He doesn't bother with dd but portrays the poor hard done by act to his family, who happily believe him. I could go on and on...
He turned up with dd tonight, first time he's seen her in weeks and only with Granny's supervision. He walked straight in my home and started talking quite normally to me, so I had a conversation with him as I thought would be worth a shot, even for dd sake. He then turned totally and started shouting and just laughing at me, asking for his stuff that was left in the house, and telling me what a joke I was, and how he was so much happier now I wasn't with him and he had his gf. Why did I let him even come in? I thought he was just wanting to collect a couple of things and as he was ok with me I thought ok, but he turned so nasty. It was the grinning and blatant nastiness that upset me? This was the love of my life, 15yrs we had together and it's come to this? Why can't we just get on for DD's sake?

I think it is because you want to believe the best in someone...I know with my Ex..I look back all the signs were there he was going to be a waste of space Dad...I despite been in late 30's still assumed he would care for our child as I would..

You can only take this as a lesson he can't so don't let him over the doorstep again..It isn't worth the agro
