I am 16 weeks pregnant, I also have two little ones who are 1 and 2. My ex partner left a few weeks ago, days later I found out he was sleeping with another women.
A quick background, he has never been interested in doing anything with the children, He has not supported them financially or shown any responsibility in parenting. He has been emotionally abusive towards me and I have put up with it because stupidly I loved him. He was living in my house, not paying to live here. He would go out do his own thing and never be around to support me. When my first child was born and would cry at night he would hit me to get me out of bed to see to him. What would have happened if I wasn't there I dread to think. I have been alone with no support, my children are my everything.
He now wants access to see them, I am finding this extremely upsetting and stressful. He has not shown himself to be a trustworthy parent and I have done everything for my children since day one. They have never spent any time away from me except when I am at work. (I have supported them financially)
Someone please help. What can I do?
