Hey all,
help please! From a mumma who is seriously at her breaking point with it all! My ex and I broke up over 2 months ago. We have a 2 year old and 5 year old. He has the children every Tuesday night and every other weekend. The past month, he has been a let down continuously. The children had chickenpox and were very unwell (2 weeks apart) and he did nothing to help and didn’t even check in on them. Father’s Day weekend was his weekend with the children. He took his children to his mum’s for the weekend (lives an hour away and has to because he’s not allowed children in his bedsit on weekends). I found out through my son coming home and crying to me saying “daddy didn’t want to stay with us he went out with friends” the NIGHT before Father’s Day. He turned up after breakfast to them on Father’s Day. I had a go at him and specifically told him our son had cried because of this and that’s how I knew. Lo and behold here we are again, a weekend of his with the children and I have just seen on his sisters instagram that he is out partying at a rave when he is responsible for our children. He is dragging our children over an hour away every other weekend to just get them babysat by his parents. What if our children wake up crying? What if they want their daddy? What if they are unwell suddenly? Where is the responsibility in that? I know he will be very hungover tomorrow and probably on a come down (that’s what him and his sister do). I am sick of it. I would do anything to have my children here safe and sound with me where I am available to them 24/7. Where do I go from here? He has been let down after let down the past month but seeing what I’ve seen tonight has really pushed me past the breaking point of being “accepting” of this toxic behaviour. He is selfish and thinking of himself. You’d think a decent dad who doesn’t see his children much anymore would actually want to spend every minute being a dad.
SOS!!!!!!
