Two years after our separation, I've tried all through this time to have open communication, deluding myself that we can coparent. We have communicated through WhatsApp all this time. But he has repeatedly used it as a tool for abuse. Our relationship ended due to abuse, and I should have recognised earlier that we couldn't communicate this way, but I was foolish and optimistic.
The question is, how on earth do we we communicate? My daughter is 4, just started school. In some ways things are easier, because she's more independent. But then we still need to communicate surely? How can I do it without opening myself up to the verbal and emotional abuse I'm having to experience.
He is currently muted on WhatsApp so I don't get notifications when he messages me, but it doesn't stop the tirades. I've tried email, but he just emails again and again and again, and will send long rambling emails about how either I'm the worst human on the planet, or how he wants me back and his life is pointless without me, and he doesn't want to live any more.
I'm going through other personal stresses, finances, like everyone are terrifying. My job is very stressful currently. I cannot deal with this extra stress I had tried so hard to limit the impact of? I'm exhausted. Please help.
