Thanks for your replies and support, very needed and appreciated at this time.
I just do not understand how a person can knowingly go out to hurt their family, after spending years nurturing them.
How can a father not be able to communicate with a child he witnessed enter this world, watched him grow up only to totally back off and not be able to hold a cnversation with them.
How can a father not want to share his wealth with his children, by this I do not just mean money i mean everything.
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN ? it is as if the MLCer goes into survival mode, wanting to keep everything fr himself, not wanting to share anything.
After talks with my L, H is holding out for the maximum, no negotiation, he wants the lot. He is looking for a settlement that if awarded would see me and the lads go under.
For a man who left saying that he didn't want to hurts us anymore than he had and he just wanted a reasonable sum to live on, well he has changed his tune somewhat. He is out for the maximum at all costs.
I REALLY DO NOT KNOW THE MAN WHO SITS IN THE OPPOSITION SEAT, HE IS A STRANGER TO ME NOW.
jmw, did we have the same man! I have told you before they are like twins our ex's. I also love the last sentence you wrote about the opposition being a stranger, I too noticed this when my ex took me to court last august, he walked past me and during the court ignored me all the time it was if he had never seen me before in his entire life, it was so business like. Youve got to wonder what has actually gone off in their heads, but I do believe and yes all through everything that he as done that there will come a day when ex really regrets everything he as done, you know what I mean jmw, they don't send money for their childrens upkeep, they dont contact them, and mine even threw his only child out of his house, is this sane, he came as you know into quite a lot of money just before he left and he doesn't even send son pocket money or support money to enable me to get son a drink of milk a day, who is going to be so sad when he as spent all his inheritance and not spent anything on raising his only son, see what I am saying is jmw, keep your chin up, you and the children won't go under, it is hard yes I agree, I lie awake and think if it will ever end and how we are going to afford this and that, but we get there and so will you. love and hugs and take care
