I've moved out 2 months ago now. It was a freaken ordeal - thank god my mom was in town for the actual flat search / move or it would have been much worse than it was. It's much much better not living in the same space. I have emotional space for my children, I'm not constantly ground down.. I can begin to rebuild my life.
I'm having trouble working out how to manage my parenting relationship with my ex. There was a lot of control / likely emotional abuse (why is that so hard to say?) in the relationship.. and I'm getting massive texts, emails, blaiming, accusations, changed stories, martyrdom from him now. I'm getting better at setting boundaries, just not reading all of it and not responding to realistically most of what he sends, but sometimes I get sucked back in. I don't want to cut him off completely as he does care about his kids but .. I need a better strategy! Help!
