Suddenly realised i was in a controlling relationship after reading an article. My feelings changed that instant.

Wished him dead.

It made me feel dreadful, wishing the father of my DDs dead. It would hurt them so badly. But I wanted him not to be in my life, to be absent from it completely. So I divorced him. It was easier than I imagined. I think he wanted me dead too. He did once say ‘fuck off abd die’ to me. 😢

“You fucking cunt”

The words he shouted at me over and over for 2 hours in the car with my kids in the back.

Went out nightly

Let me down

We was struggling qnd he gone stay at his mother's as was rough as well as coping with my dad dying but things was getting better and was moving back

But day of my dad's funeral he got his mother to call say he had a headache could not watch the younger two..He didn't even have deceny to call and was seen out and about

I ended up taking all 4 (12,9 3 and 10 months) as well as trying to prop my mum up and my grandparents (dad was only 57 they outlived him and was heartbroken

I never forgave him and told him forget it its over was extremely calm so he knew I ment it

He opted out of parenting
