Self worth and standing up for my self

I did absolutely amazing tonight. Ex husband told me in front of our kids that he didn’t want our kids to be like me or have any attributes like me and he is upset because I’m around them all the time. Then he went on to say that he didn’t want our kids to be anything like me in front of them because he said society doesn’t like me because of my disability. All because he didn’t want to give me any money for our child’s school field trip because my lazy ass gets free money from the government for being disabled. I stood up for myself told him I love :heart:️ me and my disability and everything that comes with it. I’m glad I’m finally standing up for myself thank god for counseling and good medication cbd oil and this forum. I put him in his place and let my kids know it’s okay to be like mommy even though she is sick before mommy got sick she was able to do amazing things. And even if my kids have my disability I will make sure they love every part of them. Good bad and ugly I accept me and love me.

Glad he’s your Ex…

Mocking you in front of the children is a deal breaker.

Tell him he is poorly brought up. That way you insult both him and his parents at the same time.

Thanks I’ll keep that tip next time. I’ve gotten use to his insults and know I’ll be hearing them as long as I’m dealing with him and since he is the father of my two kids that’s forever.

I am so sorry your ex husband is so mean to you @anon36372018 . That is abuse. You can order a restraining order on him to keep him far away from your person at all times since he is mentally abusive to you. Just go down to the police station and file a restraining order on him. You will have to pay a small fee but that is nothing compared to the piece of mind you will get.

Good for you for standing up to your ex! He was wrong and you let him know.
Not sure what else to say @anon36372018 , except that what he did was totally inappropriate and just mean. To say those things in front of your children is disgraceful, and on top of that, harmful to your children. If they do end up having any problems with their mental health, these things will come back to haunt both your kids and him.
In any case, maybe you should just remind him that if his children are his real priority, he should watch what he says and stop saying things that cause anxiety for them and are harmful to their sense of well-being. He is being selfish and using the kids as an excuse to hurt you. And I hope for everyone’s sake that he will not say this type of things to your kids if they do have mental health issues of any kind.

Go you! That’s so awesome of you to stand up for yourself like that. It’s important not to let abusive people just be abusive.

How could you marry a jerk like that? Picking on a persons mental illness ranks right below sleazeball and right above being a complete idiot.

Some people are just too closed minded. Sad but true
