I left my abusive 23 year marriage behind 18 months ago. I’m doing ok with the kids, but I still struggle to make decisions, have panic attacks because of ptsd, constantly question my judgement and have guilt trips... Basically I haven’t yet recovered.
My youngest daughter is 15, bright, feisty and difficult. She guilt trips me, tells me I’m a terrible mum, bla bla.
I’m really, really struggling to stay firm, fair and positive. She knows exactly how to cut me deeply - she learned from her dad.
She sees her dad every 2 or 3 weeks for a coffee, he is unreliable, awful and tends towards violence and I wouldn’t want her to see more of him. But I’m really struggling.
Are there any support networks I can tap into? Or any advice? Thanks x
