It's painful, and poor DS10 is getting it constantly from his dad presumably in the hope it'll make me feel bad.
Nope, he's still wearing £100+ trainers and new designer glasses, still shopping at Waitrose. I also know he's recently been promoted. But DS is wearing XH's mum's friend's 14 year old daughter's hand-me-downs, isn't allowed to have bananas cos they're too expensive and last week couldn't bear the cheapest own-brand ketchup his dad could find because it was so unpleasant. They never go anywhere or do anything because it costs too much...just sit at home gaming all weekend.
XH takes home twice what I do, I had to sell my car, jewellery (for scrap) and a lot of other stuff to give XH enough money for a deposit on a house, but he prefers to rent whilst telling DS that he couldn't afford to buy a house.
I am sick of it, and so very worried about what it's doing to DS. But I don't know how to deal with it...I survive through being grey-rock on everything, I do not discuss anything I don't have to as it just gives him the opportunity for more abuse.
Suggestions please...
