Question - (31 March 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 April 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

30 years old and have been divorced for 2 years now. I have 3 children 12,10,6. I met this guy who is 44 years old and has 4 children 16 year old twin boys, 13 year old boy. He and his 3 children live with me and my children and he treats me like a child and does not make his children mind me or just basically try to raise them. He leaves home and when asked where he is going or where he has been he says" tending to my buisness" with a smile on his face. He can't keep a job because I think he is missing work.

When he has a job he won't give me any money for bills or food, but he buys anything he wants for himself and not even for his own kids. He talks on the phone to other woman and tells them that he is a single parent and that he is working 2 jobs to pay all of his bills. He has cheated on me several times. How can I let go without feeling like I am putting his kids on the street? I miss the person I met!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (30 April 2008):

Sounds like a psychopath to me. He doesn't see you as a person, just a source of cash, food, shelter, child minding and sexual gratification - and he probably whinges at you about how you don't understand him or his problems if you call him on his flagrant cheating and unfairness.

Do you want to be used all your life by this man? No. He will provide for himself quickly once he has to, and I doubt his kids will spend even one night without a roof over their heads and full stomachs. Look out for yourself.

Collaroy agony auntHi there,

I almost thought this was a joke email as I am left wondering what on earth you are still doing sharing a house with this man.

He's a user who has got himself a moneypot - you!

Some people just go through life causing chaos and sucking their loved ones into the trainwreck that forms their own lifestyles. I'm afraid you are sharing a house with one of them, the only question you need to ask yourself is "how quickly can I get this man out of my house"

Be brave, show him the door and good luck for your future.
