My ex and I have been split for around 2 years, he abandoned me and baby and met another family he moved to a town around 20mins away, it's taken a huge amount of healing for me to become a very content and happy mum with a more positive outlook on life and I've worked seriously hard to do so as last year I had such a bad mental breakdown I attempted suicide. I am in such a better place (or I was) due to him being somewhat out of sight. My Ex doesn't see our child, he isn't interested and has seen her a handful of times in her life, I've given him chance after chance but he's not bothered. So I eventually gave up and focused solely on building a wonderful life for her and my other child.
Today, I found out, him and his new family have moved back to where I live, an extremely small town. I am devasted, I feel right back to where I was, I'm angry and hurt and I feel like the only choice I have is to uproot myself and my kids. He has no reason to move here, I feel so on edge now, I feel like my independent happy private life has been snatched away by him. This is somewhere my children are settled in school and nursery, it's where I grew up and it's somewhere I planned to be for a very long time. Am I crazy for being so mad? No one even told me I had to find our online. I felt betrayed significantly
