    Good luck with everything

    Does he own the house? It just seems unfair that you and the kids should be the ones suffering the upheaval just beacause he can't be the father he should be,:mad:

    I don't think he will tell, I think he is just using it as a threat to control you. The creep.

    well done Aimeesmum! positive steps and positive thinking! deal with your immediate problems and let anything else go!
    by being brave and breaking this cycle you are giving your kids the best role model and mother they could have!

    Thanks so much. I have contacted our old childminder and she is going to look after the kids, got a return to work date and need to view a few properties that from the pictures look like the kind of place my kids should grow up in.

    For the first time in a long time I am actually excited! You don't know how much the support on here has meant to me.

    We were in homeless accomodation after being moved from a council flat due to harrassment from our neighbour so he will (I imagine) continue to live in it. XxX

    If you feel able, give him an ultimatum. No money for booze, ciggies or X-box if he doesn't get off his !!!! and get out there working. If he doesn't, then work towards leaving or if the property is in his name only, just kick him out. Get the police if you need to or pre inform them if you think he may be violent. I'm sure they will help as they love stuff like this.

    That's great news, Aimee'smum! :j

    Hope it works out that you can use the time off to find somewhere suitable to live, to get some decent nights of sleep and to spend time enjoying your baby and child.:D

    All the very best for the future... once your ex partner is no longer dragging you down, you will have time to reflect on the other things that need dealt with, and will realise how strong you are now you've taken that first step and may well find the strength to deal with the other person.

  • Just want to say well done on making this important decision. Am sure you will look back in years to come and be so grateful you finally found the courage to leave. Your kids will thank you as well. Best of luck and keep up updated. xx
