We are sure he is living on his own but has a girl friend in London. He's just being stupid. He also claimed on FB that DD was stalking him as she was seen, by a friend of his, driving down the road we think he lives on. She was looking for a house with any vehicles she might recognise to see if she could deliver a letter setting out the basis for agreement.
She refuses to go to his parent's house after his mother denied he'd been there to see the children when she had them. When DD told her that she didn't mind him seeing them there but did mind being lied too, his father physically attacked DD. She refused to call the police despite my pleas. He has, according to the Idiot, been a wife beater as long as he can remember. Although DD says the Idiot has never hit her, it does explain a lot about his controlling nature!
I must have lot more of my Mum in me that I realise because I find this all terribly embarrassing - hence the Jeremy Kyle reference. My friend's Mum used to say 'Well, they are just not like us, darling!' and I know exactly where she was coming from, despite the mocking that we did when we were young!
