I did think this... 🙄😬 he calls to see the kids, I don’t allow him over the threshold he currently has to sit on the garden chairs at the front and talks for maybe half hour to them then leaves. It’s easier (and safer) than them going to his. (UK law says children can move between the homes of separated parents during lockdown) my daughter who’s 11 says hi for 5 mins then goes back to her room - says it’s boring 😂 my son is much closer and very protective of his Dad. So the milk and supplies he brings are kind of helpful as he’s coming anyway - and means he’s the one queueing at the store not me. I assume he’s going to do that anyway for his booze supply and might as well pick up groceries for us but I’m under no illusion that this is fir any other reason on my part other than we are in a pandemic emergency and it’s an option that benefits my family. The moment this is relaxed I’m back on my own shopping again. I can only order a limited food supply otherwise and there are 4 week waiting lists for delivery slots.

he is not fooling me. I know he wanted me to see the injuries. He could have worn a long sleeve top to hide his arm. All it did in fact was add more weight to my own feelings about how leaving him was the right thing to do and omg how grateful I am not to be in a lockdown situation with him! 😩🙏

well as I read here a lot .... “more will be revealed..” and it’s so true!!!

He changed his story about his fall when talking to me 19 year old daughter - he told her he’d actually been knocked unconscious and woken up with blood on his head. He’s also badly bruised his leg. It’s black and blue. He’s either exaggerating his story further because he didn’t get the reaction he wanted from me or this is the more truthful version.

I also discovered yesterday that he’d bought our son an expensive camera for the school trip to Nepal (the one he signed him up for against my wishes as I can’t afford it and hasn’t as yet paid a penny off &#128580 it’s a go pro type of camera. He told him to keep it secret from me because I’d have a go at him about the money he’s spent. (He bought it months ago and wasn’t paying me any maintenance!)

i don’t care if he wants to buy him 10 cameras but I do care about the lies and secrets.

im actually thankful for this reveal. No longer do I feel so bad about going for my share of the house!! He’s a narcissist and I can see through the games he’s playing.
