I’ve told husband not to come back after dropping his daughter off at her mum’s tonight. For anyone who has seen my previous threads they’ll understand. He is currently promising he’ll change etc but I just feel numb. He’s saying if he stays away tonight he won’t be back and I do feel ok about it. Then he accused me of throwing his daughter out on the streets.

I just feel so numb

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2026 18:38

There have been so many threads about his behaviour. I’m not sure how to link in my phone.

Thought he didn’t drink?

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2026 18:48

He doesn’t any more, but we both used to abuse alcohol

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2026 18:48

I imagine your poor kids are swinging from the chandeliers with delight

YerMotherWasAHamster · 27/03/2026 18:48

”Yes I feel great about that. And it was your job to keep your daughter housed, not mine. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

ChurpyBurd · 27/03/2026 18:50

Holy shit.

I'm with PP - DON'T CAVE.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2026 18:53

Why? Genuine question?

Look at your children and feel SO happy that you are finally advocating for them

Pebbles16 · 27/03/2026 18:55

@MyGhastIsFlabbered I appreciate that you are feeling discombobulated but this is the best result and please hold your nerve.
You will be so much better in the long run

Duckyfondant · 27/03/2026 18:56

Ahh come on Op, You've got this! Let the cruel accusation of turfing his daughter onto the street fuel your anger and determination. What an arse he is

HotSoupBowl · 27/03/2026 18:56

You didn’t throw his daughter onto the streets. His behaviour did. He is responsible for it.

please don’t feel broken - you did the very right thing, take something from that.

Wtf is your problem?

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2026 19:01

I’m feeling broken because he emotionally blackmailed me, that I’ve put my kids through all of this for too long, that I am disrupting his daughter’s life, and also, because I honestly thought he could return to being the man I fell in love with, rather than this angry person he’s become.

@Rokabe Why are you intent on needling the OP?

She's come on here for support, not to justify herself to you.

Sounds like youre well shot of him

Well done, stay strong x

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 27/03/2026 19:05

It’s that problem where he wasn’t always awful, it would have been much easier to end it if he was 100% arsehole
