I know it's been deleted...and I know this will likely be too....and I know IABU but
OP said she was a mumsnet user so I'm hoping she might see this.
OP, you and your darling DC have been in my thoughts this weekend. I hope you have worked through your emotions and found the courage to reach out to your family.
You are strong, brave, courageous and super human to go through what you have and put up with it all.
But if you are wavering, if it all just seems too much at the moment...if you can't find the strength to leave just now-please come back here and don't fear the judgement you did when you first posted...you won't get it. There are so much supportive and wise women here.
Sending so much love my dear.
If you do post on this thread, please don't put anything specific about the original. The OP will know this is for her.
