      (detail removed by Moderator), he left.

      I don’t have much time to post… but OMG he left!

      I still gotta bazillion things to sort out, especially where one of my children who’s very swayed by him actually helped him pack and such.

      For now, I gotta feed my kids. Afterwards, look at non-mol and other injunctions now that he’s out.

      Can’t change the locks… he can still take one child or another anywhere he likes, which had never sat well with me.

      But (detail removed by Moderator), he’s out on his own accord.

        There will still be some money battles, but I’m seriously hoping he’s otherwise abandoned us.

        Will do! Right now just having a break from setting up new bedtime routines with the kids.

      OMG … just did a load of laundry without him.

      In the past, he’d be mad about doing laundry. But then if I did it, he’d be telling me how guilty he felt about not chipping in (well, he never chipped in enough anyways). I was always in a catch-22 there.

      I never thought that doing the laundry would feel so decadent!

      Lovely news, just keep strong and be prepared for him to try and worm his way back in.
      Stick to your guns and keep him out!
      Goodluck
      I totally understand the washing thing but mine was moving stuff around the house like ooh I think I’ll move the kettle to this side of the kitchen! Or I can pop to Tesco without any bother.
      Goodluck

        Mm-hm… you totally get me there.

        However, now there’s the other side of the coin. I’ll talk about that later.

        Spoiler alert: spent half my work day sorting things out. While managing the children’s expectations of what he may or may not do. Especially where he’s not talking to me but instead is showing up to do whatever, whenever he wants. But at least he got to see that everything was tidier and sorted better than when he was here, meant to be helping me with all of that.

        I love that I can now take ownership of things where he said he’d get them done, but then just let it rot.

      What good news.

      Please go to lawyer or similar immediately. Today if you have not already. Great that you are thinking this already.

      Consider safety at this time a high priority.

      There are domestic violence hotlines too out there.

      Regards
