I was recently back in court with my abusive ex. I was fed up and drained. DD adores her dad and I argued against him getting more contact because his abuse continues to extend to DD emotionally eg telling her he’ll never see her again if she doesn’t keep his secrets and being verbally abusive towards me.
The courts sided with him and I was asked if I’d give up an extra night and I irrationally said yes. And now it’s done. He has more contact than he should ever have. He has promised to no longer use emotional blackmail though. Not sure I believe it though. I cannot believe I have been so utterely stupid. It’s too late. He has 50/50 contact and I feel so alone and stupid. I wish I could take it back but it’s too late. I’m such a stupid fool and at the moment I’m going through what I can only describe as grief. Please help me rationalise this.
