- Telling me he loved me when it patently wasn't true because he left me
- Letting me buy this house, knowing I depended on money from him to pay the mortgage, and then leaving
- Driving me mad - I might have had slightly (ok very) off patches before, but not anything like this for 10 years
- Letting me move to a place where I don't know anyone
- Letting me spend a fortune on him - clothes, food, furniture, meals out, rail tickets, etc
- Making promises to my kids that he broke - everything from the fact he would be here to help with exams, to the fact he would just be here.
- Damaging my eldest daughter's (particularly, but also the other two) view of men.
- Telling me he wasn't like other men I'd met (I didn't realise he meant worse)
- Letting me trust him
- Letting me fall in love with him
- Letting me blame myself for all of the above.
This is a work in progress. No doubt I have forgotten some.
