Unfair exw

[lycanwolf]

I've been with dh 6 years and have 1 ds. He has 2 dd from first marriage.
Exw has been in touch with dh wanting him to lay half of school uniform costs, she does this every year even though she knows we can't afford this.

For contest dh is off work with depression and anxiety, taking medication and attending counselling. I'm working but part time and get little help benefits wise, often relying on my parents for help. She is also remarried, working pt and her dh works ft so more income then we have.

I wish she'd realise we can't afford this and stop asking, it's bad enough she won't provide the basics for them when they come to stay here. It's literally the clothes they arrive in and the toys they want to bring from home.

It's quite a turn around

I've been following this from the start but not commented.

All I'll say is that when OPs seem to make a very quick turnaround it seems to be that they have had these thoughts for ages, maybe not even consciously iyswim, and when the mumsnet majority pile on it causes a massive light bulb moment of wtf have I been doing all this time and they make the decision to leave.

Mumsnet pointed out lots of things with my own relationship that I knew and ignored. At first I was really upset and fought against it but after a while the knowledge that they were right came to the fore. I'll always be grateful for that even though I hated a few posters for what they were saying.
