Hello 👋
Not really sure what to say, in all honesty.
I'm at a point in my life that I never thought I'd reach again - being lost and so overwhelmed.
Last year was all *** broke loose but that won't be the end of it.
Stuck and tethered to someone for the rest of our lives.
My child's father, a man who denies any of his behaviour and lies through his teeth.
But it doesn't stop there, my life has always been some form of abuse.
But gosh, it's been a year of freedom.
Though, I feel he's trying to slither his way back in with 'fathers rights'.
Doesn't matter who I talk to. I can't get straight pieces of advice.
I've already given more information than he's entitled too, so there's that too.
Man, this is exhuasting.
Self care needs and healthy coping needs to be learnt.
I'm too poor for therapy.
Pretty sure there will be others who feel the same as I do.
If you've made it this far, thank you for reading.

welcome to this site i hope you find some support and tips in the many perspectives....
Yes it is very hard to be connected to a person through sharing a child etc and there are many of us here who have gone through or are still going through similar situations.
it is an easy thing to happen people seem different when you first meet or relationship start then slowly the underside shows their inability to be supportive / some are skilled liars / numerous other possibilities and people rationalize "but i love them "... they will change .....
sounds as if you got away which is exciting but scary and a lot to decide and take in..... not complete freedom as he is the father of child and most likely will need to deal with him for decades ......
you know his tricks and his issues and be careful of the "but i have changed" game..... self care and learning coping skills is far harder then some know .... i tell myself taht is why so many give up...
