I’m really not knowing how to deal with this anymore I was married and in a abusive marriage for some years 18 he lies cheating drugs. Destroyed us I got away in the end and my two child witnessed this my eldest has nothing to do with her dad and my son loves him but he just picks him up when he feels like it and drops him and don’t see him for mouths at a time since we split my son has been kicked out of school goes about doing what he pleases ive lost all control I’ve got every organisation You can think of trying to help but his just doing as he likes he really don’t see what his doing to him self or family I feel like I’m back in a relationship with his father I’m not free or the lies and drugs my daughter moved out because of his ways and my friend don’t text or call me anymore because they don’t won’t they kids around it his doing things he shouldn’t I’m losing all respect for him like he has for me I just don’t know what else I can do we fight daily And some times physical I’m tired I just don’t know where to turn
