so close to throwing in the towel

[rightmywrongs]

Little one's Dad,
She adores him.
So do I sometimes.

He's been back around for a few months

Has started making a lot of positive changes which is great but I can't get away from the fact he's a bum.

I work I support my daughter, myself & now him.

He does fuck all.

Gambles. A LOT.

I love him, she loves him but my quiet peaceful life has been turned upside down & its wearing thin being skint,

Promises of money / help falling through,

Not even trying to get a job.

Constantly expecting me to bail him out,

There's nothing coming over him, always got money for the bookies, haircuts (a fucking sunbed yesterday)

I am the one working, keeping us all & don't have two pennies to rub together.

I don't want to throw the towel in as I know he's not mature enough to separate me from the little one, I don't want her to lose out because of me.

When is enough enough tho?

Meh.
Aware no one can tell me what to do I just needed to get it off my chest.

He hasn't got respect for anyone.
Not even himself.

He's not a rescue dog you don't want to give up on

He's a grown adult who makes his own choices

It's easier said than done, but you do need rid ASAP.
Things like these have a way of dragging out and the longer it goes on the worse it will get when something inevitably breaks.

I sincerely hope he isn't violent, OP. That's a whole other ball game.

Maybe you didn't listen before - listen now

Not violent no !!!

Just used to bad living, scummy choices & only thinking of #1

He drinks, gambles and treats himself to sun bed treatments? As well as being mean to you and doing nothing around the house?

It doesn't sound to me as if he's trying that hard.

Your DD deserves better. You hating sleeping alone is not a good enough reason to keep him around.

Change the locks.

Is there no one in real life you can talk to/tell this to? Maybe opening up to friends will encourage you to see the wrong in it/do something about this awful situation?
