Just keep trying to tell yourself that you are a special beautiful person. You are so awesome that you won't let HIM get you down. Because your a happy warm person. Let that reflect on the outside. Let his words ,if they get nasty, just bounce off you. Just say with a smile oh I am so sorry you feel that way.

If he hugs you then I would hug him back. Just try to be happy and positive. Who knows how this will turn out. He may be coming back to try and sweep you off your feet because he is afraid that you are going to cut him off with the money.

Do you mean he isn't helping financially at all? He just expects you to support him and the kid's?
