Oh dear. Your first mistake here is placing FAR too much value on what this LOSER thinks and feels towards you. And YES, he is a good for nothing LOSER. Good riddance! VALUE YOURSELF too much to even care what he thinks. Seems to me like a low self esteem issue that you have to contend with here.

You did yourself a huge favor by getting rid of this most toxic person. Secondly, you made the mistake of being intimate with him again and allowing him near you after kicking him out. Not judging, I've done the same before too,, so I'm not throwing stones here.

Please know that his relationship with this other woman will be just as unhealthy and toxic as YOURS was with him. And that is because he is most TOXIC.

Do yourself another favor, and work on building your self esteem and self worth back up. You need to know your true worth and to know that you deserve far better than him.

And if he abandoned your son? Perhaps your son is better off without growing up witnessing alcoholism and a toxic relationship. Think of it from that perspective. And his priorities are obviously seriously screwed up. HE is royally screwed up. Again, good riddance.

Hugs to you.

psL just because someone has mental health issues does not excuse them for bad and poor behaviors.
