Thanks Jakki.
I'm surprised I'm as hurt as I am, but enough's enough.
It's been head games and mind-fuckery since we met in 96.
I didn't think he was capable of more, being 70 ffs.
I have to admit I suspected it all along anyway.
I already queried him on the voicemail.
I'd cut and run but we still own a house.
I guess I lose that asset and cut him free.
The worst part is that my kids really love him.
My son's been planning to go see him in hospital.
I don't have the guts to tell them they've been hurt again.
They've lost him as a father figure.
They've lost their cottage home and that inheritance.
If he was just hurting me, that's one thing.
Hurt my kids? .....
That's another.
