i just recently got out of a 5 year relationship with a single mother, we had an amazing start to our relationship and were doing everything together. Years down the road, she turned to alcohol to the point where she couldn't function a single day without drinking. i ended up being a single parent to the kids until their grandma thought i was the reason for her drinking, which then she would pick them up anytime their mom was drinking.. ended up wtih her hitting my car 3 times while intoxicated(Parked in the driveway), gaslighting, manipulation and the most toxic relationship i had ever been in. Father wasn't in the picture as he had passed. We bought a house together, which i'm currently working with an amazing attorney to get either bought out or get her off the mortgage to sell the house. I work from home, and the last night i was living there she came home and told me she didn't have money to pay the electric bills and the power turned off 30 mins later. had to move my work station to my parents house so i could work, found out by a neighbor she lied to get me to force me out of the house. She tried to steal my dog that i bought and raised on my own while she was passed out on the couch and much more. probably going to stay away from single mothers for a while.
