I think I have been a bit of a doormat for the last ten years and have basically allowed ex to treat me and ds poorly just so ex didn't abandon ds as that was my greatest fear.
So am I being unreasonable to want to change the following;
Expecting ex to provide for his son in a proper manner by contacting the CSA after 8 yrs of no maintenance and 2 yrs of £20 per week.
To expect ex to provide pjs, toothbrush, deodrant, change of clothes and gaming console or access to PC instead of me providing all these things and ds having to pack them all up for every visit. Also expecting ex to do any washing rather than bring the dirty washing home to me.
To expect ex to provide ds with some personal space in his home, either his own bedroom (he has a spare room) or to share a room with his partners son who is away at university. Currently ds sleeps on the sofa and dp sits up til at least 2am watching films so ds can't get to sleep until ex has finished. Ds comes home exhausted.
To expect ex to provide access to a PC and printer for homework rather than ds having to do all homework at mine before a visit to dad?
Ds is 14.
