Hi There
I am in the same situation. My ex husband only see’s our child once a month. He says due to work commitments-however has changed jobs since this agreement was made. Most of that weekend he does have DC it is spent travelling in a car due to long distance.
Personally I think it is to prevent me from having any sort of life of my own. He contacts Dc during the week but that is only due to me making sure Dc origanlly kept in contact with him on a weekly basis and then me having to tell Ex husband to make the effort more.
Ive got to be honest. Its hard. I work full time, I pay for childcare, food,clothing, hobbies, rent all other household bills. I do the lot. There is no help. I recieve no help from Universal Credit. I have no family near by. I cannot remember the last time I went out and did something I wanted to do. There is zero time to date, have a hobby-have my own life.
It feels that as my Dc is getting older, the Ex husband is the fun loving parent and I am the one who doesnt have the time to spend with Dc. Im pretty much just waiting for the day when DC tells me he doesnt want to live with me anymore because dad is the more fun parent.
I do everything I can. The best I can. But it feels like its never enough.
