To cut a long story short, I have stopped my ex from seeing my little boy. He constantly lets him down, is involved heavy with alcohol and now drugs and owes quite a bit of drug debt out.
I got the advice from a solicitor to stop contact as I shouldn’t be the one who had to supervise it and let him take me to court to get something set in place via a contact centre or mediation. I have advised him to do this, as I don’t want to be the one who is responsible for letting my son get hurt over again.
Anyway he owes me quite a bit of money which he was meant to be paying me back. He has stopped. He also doesn’t pay my son a penny as he said what is the point of he is not seeing him. He also quit his job a couple of months back so he didn’t have to pay nothing even though I know he is working but not claiming it.
I’m finding it hard childcare wise to go back to work as I only have my mum and she works full time. I am struggling so much financially to the point that I’m now on AD for anxiety and just feel like I’m failing as a mum.
I don’t know what I’m gaining from posting this except I don’t know how “dads” can get away with this. I just feel like total and utter shit and can’t stop crying.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
