Kids dad leaving?
I need some advice. My ex and I were together for 6 or 7 years. We have 3 kids together all under 4. I left because I was exhausted. Mentally and physically. He was abusive to me. A “good” dad or not really because the kids saw what he did to me and for that I feel like a terrible mom. But I finally left and it’s been really hard but I’m picking up all the pieces. Since I left he hasn’t really helped much with the kids. He’ll take them for a few hours every now and then but it’s barely anything. We had just started a week on and week off. It was his week and he brought them back 3 days early and said that he was leaving to New York. I asked him over and over to stay. He didn’t and apparently already left at that point. It’s been a few days, I needed him to pay his half of our sons preschool tuition. I needed him to help with formula, diapers and wipes. It was his turn and he left me hanging and didn’t let me know the kids were even sick. I’ve been texting him and get ignored today I sent “seriously?” On fb messenger because that’s what we usually use to talk through and went to check it a few hours later and I was blocked. At this point what do I even do? Our son is turning two Monday and he blocked me, can’t get ahold of him. He wasn’t great to me but I wanted him to be here for our kids so badly. I don’t know when he’s coming back. He had mentioned it would be for a few weeks but I don’t know how he can even afford it. I’m confused, hurt, mostly for the kids and I’m sitting here stressing out with 3 sick little kids and thinking about how unfair it is that he made everyone think I was the bad guy for leaving him and he can just take off to New York (we live in Indiana) with no problem. No worrying about our kids. Nothing. We’ve got my sons birthday party tomorrow and nothing. I’m so upset and sad. I don’t want to do this alone but I guess I’m feeling like it might be better that way.
