I got back with my ex-husband for our kids, thinking it would be better to raise them in a two-parent home. We had a bitter divorce and I’m the one who paid for it, both financially and emotionally. I got back with him, as our daughter is closer to him and would always want him around.
My daughter fell into a depression and kept wanting to see her dad. He wouldn’t come when she wanted, not even for her counseling. He was in bachelor mode, with someone two years older than our oldest son. We had an argument that he had to pay for dinner. Now I’m thinking I should just transfer the money for the two dinners he paid for just to avoid all of this. He still hasn’t talked to me since last night, and didn’t sleep in our room.
“Defined as the ‘control of a woman’s ability to acquire, use, and maintain economic resources, thus threatening her economic security and potential for self-sufficiency,’ it is a coercive behavior that makes the victim economically dependent on her partner and at greater risk of continued abuse,” it adds.
What should not happen is that you keep telling this story and become so mired in every petty squabble and potentially coercive move by your ex that you can longer distinguish where your emotional and financial needs begin and where they end. This is clearly an unhealthy, unbalanced and unacceptable relationship.
“ ‘It is easy to see yourself as weak and in some way the person to blame. This is an important part of control — usurping the victim’s perspective and making her feel like she is at fault for ‘inviting’ this behavior.’ ” “Does your partner make you feel as though you don’t have a right to know any details about money or household resources?”
Well who’s the dumbass who let him move in
It would be cheaper for this woman to pay for counselling for her daughter than for her ex-husband to be living there, not to mention far less miserable. That man needs a kick in the balls.
