In court today. Terrified

[bakabakabeyond]

In court today regarding child arrangements order. I'm witholding access from my ex to our 1 year old as he is abusive, physically and emotionally. I left him with the help of women's aid and a local charity when he started showing signs of abuse towards our son.

He has made numerous false allegations about me in court. They are very transparent and have only cropped up after he told CAFCASS he had no concerns.

My allegations towards him are pretty extensive and all true. When I am giving evidence in court I will prove this as the truth is easy to recall

I am terrified of him. Scared I will bump in to him. The whole court process is making me unwell

Any unmumsnetty hand holds?

How did it go? Was thinking of you all day ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hope everything went well for you today 🤞

My fingers crossed that it went well for you.

Hoping you’re ok OP and all went well

Hope all went well, have been thinking of you and checking back for any news.

I hope you are ok?

Hope you are ok OP? There is lots of support here day and night if you need it.

Another

Sorry was trying to say 'another one hoping it all went well for you
'

Hope it went well op

Good luck

Thanks everyone. It went ok but I never feel good after. I feel numb. Can't tell if it went well or not. Stayed at Indirect contact for now. I feel sick. Thanks for the support. Mumsnet has got me through today

@bakabakabeyond well done, for getting through it. Good that the indirect contact has been maintained for now.

Good on you. You're really brave.

Glad you are home and it's over. Sounds like a win, he won't have access. It will take time to decompress. Treat yourself to whatever you want to cheer yourself up.

Hope your little one is feeling better too.

You've got breathing space if nothing else.

Well done-it must have been a dreadful ordeal and you have coped with it wonderfully.

Have a nice relaxing night..

Well done!

Well done for being brave

I'm glad today went well. Worry about any future problems when they arise. Don't give him the space in your head. You have proven what a strong woman and mother you are and you can do so in the future

Sounds like it went well and they saw through his bullshit to maintain indirect contact. You’ve been awesome and brave today. Be kind to yourself and try and get a good sleep tonight xx

Well done!

You did it, OP! Well done for getting through it.

Good for you.
