    Well it has to be said that was on of the worst mothers days known to me and believe me i've had some bad ones

    Went to pick kids up from their god dam idiot of a fathers, had to discuss the DMP with him and even though a lot of the debt is in his name he thought i would still be paying half so i told him it doesn't work like that - his debt he pays-my debt i pay.......what did he do....threw me and the kids out :mad: he didn't physically touch us, just verbal and then said 'i will let you know when i want the kids again' I told whatever he thought about me he cannot do that to the kids its not their fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what an idiot ....its about time he grew up, took responsibility and got a bl00dy life and a grip AAARGGGGGHHHHHH @RSEWHOLE :mad:


    Took kids, bikes, mutt up to the field ...they ended up falling out and screaming at each other (kids not mutt:p ) marched them home and did something i swore i would never do......cried, blubbed wailed, sobbed my heart out which in turn made the kids cry :( so now i feel b00dy awful!!!! Bad mum :mad:

    I am now sat slowly getting drunk with my bottle of wine i got for mothers day

    Hi Spike, sorry to hear about the problems you are having re: maintenance. Honestly, some men have no idea re: costs. Have you thought about going to the CSA? Its not a route I'd want to take, but it sounds like he's being unreasonable.

    You've worked really hard, life isn't fair sometimes. I never wanted to be a single parent, but is what happened. I've only recently learned that sometimes its good to have a good cry. Gets it out your system. Never used to.

    Have your mothers day bottle of wine, you deserve it. My box of chocs are history. :o

    Hope you have a better day tomorrow. xx

    Right hun deep breath.

    This is just why you split up with this man..his behavior is beyond unreasonable and I can only offer you a virtual hug:grouphug:
    You knew there was a possibility he was going to react badly to you wanting to sort this out...but not that badly.
    Its time to seriously consider whether you want such a dysfunctional person in your children's lives.

    ..and yes you have had a horrible day..but tomorrow is a fresh start so don't go beating yourself up about what has happened. You are human and thats that x

    I will support you and your family will support whatever you decide to do but you must make one thing your priority..your family -you and your children. No more can you continue to feel sorry for this man or try and support him. He only cares about himself and has proved today that by you simply wanting to discuss what should be perfectly reasonable , he is incapable of just that. You cannot reason with him and need to start protecting yourself and your children from the damage he is causing emotionally.
    If he has an ounce of decency he would not have done what he has done...so please keep away from him and keep the kids away too.
    We both know he has mental health issues that he refuses to address or even admit exist. Your children need you now to protect them from anymore damage he may cause and you need to protect yourself too. I wish there was something else I could suggest but if this were the otherway round you would be saying the very same thing to me hun x if you need to call me call x


    Put it this way...would you accept this behaviour towards yourself and your children from anyone else?
