Braveheart thank you for your reply, first can I point out that I have moved on and the house is in fact packed up and ready to move out, under no circumstances would I have this loser back, it as been far too long and he as pulled far too many stunts on us, my only concern is what impact it as had on my son under the surface, and why his dad pulls these stunts on us as and when son refuses to play happy families with them. The thing I cannot get my head round is how any man can put a child/his child through this, kick him out of his home and expect a normal relationship with that child as and when he feels like it. I know the kicking us out of the house, with-holding all money from us etc is all based at me, but surely he must know somewhere in his stupid mind that he is affecting his son.
