Hey ladies,
Haven't been on here for a while due to the issues with OH and whatnot, have been feeling pretty crap and would have only moaned. Just to let you know that we've decided to give it one last go. I know some of you will think i'm being foolish but i really don't want Jack to grow up without his dad around, despite OH's misgivings he is a good dad. I just wish he could kick this gambling habit. He's arranged for all of his wages to be paid to me and i will have control over his bank/credit cards. I've made it fundamentally clear that this is his absolute final chance and i think he appreciates how close he was to being out on his arse. I feel better about things because i know 100% if it happens again he'll be gone, but i will have given him a fair chance. Luckily my finances haven't been affected by his gambling but it still hurts that he lied and has racked up debts that he and he alone will be paying back for a long time.
The only downside to all this is his horrible mother who has stuck her nose in and made a stressful situation even worse. When it was all kicking off she basically defended him (which is fine - hes her son) but made out that i had ulterior motives for wanting to split up aside from the gambling. She also sent me a horrible text telling me how out of order i was for not getting him a fathers day card (i did get him one, just didn't give him it straight away) so that made me even more upset and hurt. I've told OH i don't want anything to do with her again which sparked another row between us, but honestly i just can't bear to be around such a vindictive, bitchy woman.
How are things with everyone else? xx
