Social workers visiting DD at nursery.

My stomach is in knots and I don't know why. Possibly a culmination of everything going on.
My DD is being visited at nursery by social workers this week, they are undergoing an assessment currently due to previous and ongoing domestic violence now that I'm out of the relationship..
My ex has bare minimum contact through a contact centre and after a lot of reassure and coaxing from me, she generally has positive contact with him which I am happy about for her sake.
My DD has told several people her daddy hurts her, is frightening and that she has seen him hit me, I'm just worried about what she will say to these social workers because of course I've now been accused of parental alienation by my ex and his legal representatives.
I don't know why I'm worried, DD and I have been through so much together.
I haven't told her she's going to be visited by these social workers because I thought that was the right thing to do but I believe Nursery have told her.
Suppose I just want a bit of a handhold.
For context, these social workers are doing everything they can in their power to assist DD and I and not working against us.

Flowers I wish I had something useful to say. I'm just disgusted that your ex can find solicitors who are prepared to facilitate his abuse, and that the system permits this.

Oh OP. I think these things are a reminder of you've been through and it's no wonder you feel anxious.
