I understand that I should be greatful that I have my family as support while escaping DV however I feel like it's an extreme uphill battle between being able to set my boundaries with my kids, my ex and my mum.

Boundaries can be very hard especially with family.

But they are very important for our own mental health and piece of mind.

You need to do what makes you feel happy, not just a matter of being grateful, it abouts having the space to be honest about your needs!
