QZ agony auntI can assure you he was the same way with his ex, and that's probably why his children and her have nothing to do with him. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, but it's good that you got away now instead of being too tangled up in the web he spun.

Do you think this 49 year old man suddenly starting behaving like this? No of course not, you can be sure he was like it with his ex too. You are doing the right thing having no contact with him and moving, once you get your new home you will feel better, and start to move forward. You are not worthless, you are a strong woman, you stood up in court and gave evidence against him, you should be proud of yourself.
