XH hadn't contacted D17 or S14 since he had the explosive phone call with D17 on Fri night.
I assumed he was experiencing massive guilt (told my mum he was probably 'tormented'), given that D17 had been brutally honest with him about how bad her life had been since he'd refused to provide any money for her and her brother over the last 2 years.
What a fool I am.
He hadn't contacted them because he'd left for another luxury holiday, starting in Venice!
SOMEHOW he's activated an old joint bank account of ours and its details appeared on my internet bank statements.
They're staying in a luxury apartment that he's paying for, overlooking the canals.
I am truly sickened by this latest development.
How anyone can abandon their children, leaving them destitute, and continue to spend at these levels on themselves, just leaves me dumbstruck.
He's still $19,000 in arrears on S14's school fees and that's only the start!
How can anyone do this?
I risk losing everything by taking him to court (he's offered, most recently, to ask for no assets) , but I don't think I could live with myself if i just let him walk away and have to take on all his debt myself.
