In conversation with my parents earlier this evening I stated my refusal to be in the same room as my ExH. On this occasion, we were discussing a forthcoming meeting about one of the children and they suggested I should put my feelings aside. I said that since the views of us both could be obtained separately, there was no need to be present at the same time, and that I refused to be in the same room as someone who had psychologically and sexually abused me. My dad then said the remark in the title.
My parents have been wonderfully supportive but there is something about emotional/psychological abuse that they just don't get. I guess it's something I just have to come to terms with.
