F***ing ExHusband

I've just had to tell my ex about my MS because my son's social worker (children with disabilities team, not the one that deals with abuse/neglect) has to include him in an emergency plan in case I fall or something. So he came yesterday and stayed overnight in my son's room. The first time he's seen the kids this year. I have very limited financial resources, not helped by the fact that he only gives £50 a month child support. As a result we don't have carpets, there are no curtains upstairs, our furniture is second hand and nothing matches. But I focus on what I am managing to do - we have a home, food and clothes to wear!! My children are happy!! So once the kids were in bed last night he starts saying that our house is 'horrible' and 'not a home', and he wants to 'help' by moving back into the town and basically taking over my life again because I'm 'clearly struggling' ???? He moved away 18 months ago, and the sense of freedom I've felt not having to be vigilant while moving around town has been amazing, I really don't want to have to go back to that!! ? He spent ages crying and saying how heartbreaking it was for him to see me disabled - I don't want to deal with his feelings about it, I don't think other people's feelings are my problem ??? I'm soooo stressed out ??????

@koffeelover what an ass! You sound like you are holding it together! Don't let him tell you otherwise. Kick his butt out the door.??? Good luck honey!

@koffeelover , the term "self-righteous parasite" springs to mind. Guys like this give us males a bad name. He has not been able, or willing, to financially support his children, so any perceived shortcomings in your domestic circumstances are his responsibility! You have established your independence and don't need this additional stress. Get him to meet his financial obligations before you start to consider his "offer" of "family management".
