This update is amazing, you have been so strong Mo while he continues to be a twat. Hope the weekend is not to strained for you.

I don't feel like I've been strong Confused

How was he last night / this morning? Did he buy his own food?

AngryMo · 22/04/2016 12:21

I went out, left him to it with the kids for dinner, he bought take away. I heard him very early this morning to buy some food - but very clearly for him and not us (things they wouldn't eat anyway).
But weirdly he walked in later while we were having breakfast and came up to me where I was standing and said hello in a very upbeat way, so if I'd responded in the same way he'd have continued the chit chat and the chirpiness. Weird guy indeed.

Here's betting that twatchops went to any shop he fancied to buy his food hey? But his children and you have to make do with the shop he deems fit.

You are strong Mo

Just detach, deflect and use those key responses....over and over again (like you are on autopilot).

AngryMo · 22/04/2016 12:31

Forms and documents posted btw.

You've been, and are being REALLY strong Mo! Honestly, I wish I could back myself to be as strong as you have in the same situation. You really are doing fantastically well. Never think otherwise.

FATEdestiny · 22/04/2016 12:34

Yeah! Glad you've posted them. When will he know?

Just keep channelling Sigourney Weaver in every film she's ever been in. KOKO.

hi Mo, I've been following you and I just want to echo what everyone is saying - you are bloody amazing, an inspiration. no words of advice becuase never been unfortunate enough to encounter such an utter wanker - and I bet you never will again!

Akire · 22/04/2016 12:50

So he knows just bare basics in and instead of buying treat or more good for everyone even to save you having to go again on Monday he just bought few treats for him! Can see Mo having beans toast tea and he's got some posh dinner. Because he's earned it!

Glad forms are done that's great, am worried he may sto paying what he is paying at mo. But still stress every week waiting to see if it's there or not. Least benefits give you freedom pay extras if he's not shifting without you having to beg.

Prob best to play along now, get through as best you can. If he can't get it through thick head then least get some money stored up for more lawyer advice about house. It's going takes ages to sort isn't it if he's not back before summer, though least kids can finish term in school so one less problem.

You are doing well, none of us would fancy spending days with him I'm sure! Be Intesting if he sees family or friends how he reacts and how he talks about his family.

PhoenixReisling · 22/04/2016 12:50

You are an inspiration and well done for posting the documents.

KOKO

Flowers and a Brew for you

AngryMo · 22/04/2016 13:05

FATE - because he's abroad it could take weeks and weeks. I'm worried he won't even know until it's time for him to pack up and come back to the UK.

So how much was the take away ? the equivalent of your monthly allowance?

Mo, keep going out, keep ignoring him, Do not rise to the bate, do not show interest , Do NOTHING for him. He must not use your car, (remove the keys) he must realise that while he is cooking & eating his steak you & the children have rice & tuna.
Hopefully the children won't be too perplexed, but then again....
the fucking Bastard.

Before he goes back he must refund the £200. He can see the new uniform with his own eyes. the insinuation is that it cost £150 & you are asking for £200 so basically stealing from him.
Give him the sodding receipt, & say "Your insinuating that I am stealing from you is & always has been unfounded. Uniform costs are not under my control or yours, just give me the money so I can REFUND the person I was obliged to beg from. Arsehole "

RandomMess · 22/04/2016 13:29

I would present him with a list in front of the DC of things they need - and as he won't give you the money to buy then he will need to go out with them and got those things whilst he is here.

So list of summer clothes etc. anything and everything they could need. Let him say no in front of his DC!

mix56 · 22/04/2016 13:31

Good plan Random.

Akire · 22/04/2016 13:33

Good idea - kids must be needing summer shoes or few bits before he's back again. You want try get mr walking wallet to do it now. Better still send him out with a list.

AuntMabel · 22/04/2016 13:51

Well done Mo.

I can't help but wonder when was the last time you were able to afford a take away for you and the kids on your meagre allowance? How jolly nice of him to flash the cash under your nose because he hadn't provided enough for you to fill the fridge for his homecoming. How are you coping with him staying in the house?

Atenco · 22/04/2016 14:45

This man is vile. It has been a long hard process for you, Mo, seeing how the prince you fell in love with has turned into a frog, but eating separately and better than you and the children are able to do, is unbelievably awful. Reminds me of those slave owners who sold their own children.

Cantthinkofafunnyname · 22/04/2016 14:50

Definitely present him with a list of stuff the kids need for the next few months and tell him he has to go and get it all seeing as you cannot be trusted to spend money sensibly. He'll probably say you're being petty and playing games but so what. If nothing else it will save you the stress of going shopping for them.

Angryabout the takeaway- wanker!

Grumpyoldblonde · 22/04/2016 14:59

about the takeaway- wanker! I shall think of him as the takeaway wanker from now on, sums him up in many ways really.

Mo, do you think the chirpy 'hello' is to make you think he has one up on you in some way? Get you on the back foot? Doesn't matter really I suppose, decision is made. You really have been amazing throughout all this, awesome.
