Parenting with a two-faced loser
Answered 5 years ago
Does anyone have any advise for dealing with a drug fucked asshole? I got involved with someone when I was young and had some gorgeous children to them. The only thing I seriously regret is having him as their dad. He doesn’t know what it means to put their needs before his. I am so sick of his philandering infidelity, self-serving, and ability to twist everything and anything people say for his own gain. He is your typical definition of a narcissistic arrogant loser. He thinks he is all that but can’t be fucked looking out for his children’s best interests as it “isn’t his job.” Despite the fact he has no job. 🥴 Expects them to shut up and leave him alone while he plays video games all day. He is violet, threatening and has mood swings worse than a woman’s PMS. He doesn’t give a fuck how it affects his children and regularly tells us to get out - only to ring up within a week and beg us to come back.
Have an answer?

But do seek legal aid (free?) and know that Centrelink can help with leaving him and establishing yourself on your own.
Just be very careful with such a person.
Make a decision and do something.

It lists all the different phone numbers to seek help depending where you live. Start by contacting your local helpline and they will advise you on the best way to go about everything.
All you are doing is complaining and making excuses.
If you are in that of a dangerous situation, record the abuse, go to the police, delete social media, don’t tell anyone where you are going and start a new life for your children.
Be smart. Be strong. Take action.
You can get help to get out from under him. And then you disappear. Do NOT tell your children what your plans are. Kids can't keep a secret, God bless 'em. But think about it, once you leave, you stay gone. You left the kids asthma puffer there? Tough, get a new one. Your great aunts ring? Not anymore. Do NOT go back unless you have a full police guard.
Your partner isn't from this country? Awesome. He won't know about all the little nooks and crannies you do.
This is my "get out" plan should I ever need to escape (and I've already escaped one abusive asshole, thank Christ we didn't have kids or a legal obligation to each other). Find a random spot on the map and go there. You tell people your name is no longer Anne, you're known by your middle name. Your kids new school can use your maiden name as their known as (spoken name). You're not from wherever you just left. You're from an entirely different place.
You wont start to "live" until you leave him behind - permanently !
And I think you know that already.
The only thing I see here is for you to leave him?
You said yourself the only thing you hate is that he is their father? He’ll never change. You and your kids deserve love respect happiness and peace.
No one deserves violence, threats or anything else you described.
From an outside perspective it’s black and white; LEAVE!
