It”s just as well you didn”t sue for support (although you could have and it would be fun to nail the guy) because this way you can flush this turd down the toilet.
You are going through a rough patch now, but it will get better.
That is just awful. I”m sorry you are suffering, sweetie. Remember to take good care of yourself during this healing time–talk to people, get massages, take walks in the woods. Love yourself. It sounds cheesy but it helped me through my divorce from a total loser.
