Social services are routinely involved if there is a concern that one parent is unable to protect a child in a situation. They are good and useful support and should reassure you that being apart from your ex is better for you and your daughter. they will only do anything if your daughter is actually at risk.

Please try not to panic.

hopefully the negative preganancy test will be confirmed by your GP and you will be able to think clearly about the situation with your ex and your mother.

i am sorry this is so hard for you. I do hope you can make use of the real life resources around you and maintain a healthy distance from those people who make you feel bad and mistreat you.

keep posting if it helps.
