hi
iv been living with a compulsive liar for a long time (see last thread for details). We are not married but have a child together. hes now admitted the re-mortgage money of 46, 000 (id orignially stupidly agreed to this as it was to buy another property for him to do up and sell in 2006 which never happend)is not there although now playing the guy whos been hard done by life through debts that spiralled out of control over the last 7 years.
amongst wiping out my entire savings, fleecing my family and friends for cash. now i have the hard realization of where i stand in my life i dont really know where to go from here.
hhe isnt working at the moment so doesnt have a bean to his name , im not getting any child maintance from him or any repayments of the debts he has left me with. i thought about contacting the csa but as hes not working or even signing on i feel they wouldnt have much chance with him either.
what do i do now ? just get on with my life and let him get away with it all ? is there anything i can do ?
our house (joint ownership) is an interest only mortgage with no equity in the house and if i sell tommrow we will be £15,000 -£20,000 in debt so i feel stuck here.
he has agreed to sign over the mortgage but im on less than £10,000 a year so i cant really see this feesable although im the one who has always paid the mortgage out of my bank account (he has rarely given me money over the years).
just really wanted advice of what people would do in this situation. do i just walk away from the fact he has in reality committed theft by deception of thousands and thousands of pounds .. is there anything legally i can do. ? i dont have money to legally take him to court or anything and even if i did it sounds like it would go through small claims court and then id probably never get anything.

My compulsive liar husband ran out on me when we had three small children, cos the lies were catching up ( he was dying, got MS, you name it). He ran off with my wealthy friend and has lived a life of luxury ever since. I spent years broke, BUT I had my integrity and my self respect. My children, all adults now, love their Dad but know the score. You will come out of this with your head held high hun. In the meantime, go get a free half hour with a friendly solicitor, and see what they say. Prioritise your child(ren?) and yourself. He will never change. Good luck x0
