Not really sure why I'm writing this. But I suppose I'm looking for a bit of support especially if there are any other mums in the same situation.
I will try and keep this short!
Two children top end of primary school. There is a no contact order from the family courts regarding their father, needless to say he was abusive.
He became a homeless, drug addict who busks on the street. He appears to move around but has several times come back to the small town where I live. He doesn't know our address but does know the children's school.
Previously i have avoided him and the children have not been aware he's been in town. I felt this best as he did come looking for us at our old house (the owners came and told me).
But again he's come back to the small town where I live. Sitting in the centre of town busking and singing.
School are aware and tbh I'm pretty good with taking safety steps. Done all that I can and will continue to keep kids safe.
But it's clearly a recurring thing and even though I think he will leave soon, he will be back. It's obviously a struggle to handle this situation but we can no longer hide away and clearly need to except it for what it is and carry on with life like normal. But how have others coped? It's hard as the situation and his possible reaction is just so unpredictable.
Is there anyone in the same situation? Thank you
