Would appreciate thoughts. I've asked DD's dad to leave following aggression. He's shown no real remorse. He checked out emotionally a while ago I believe.
What things do I need to think about for forward planning? My concern is what the continued relationship is going to look like with my DD; there's a tendency for emotional manipulation and aggression, though there is a level of attachment with DD and he does display affection and concern for her. It's very confusing to interpret. Accepted on his terms and asks I think, no real understanding of child autonomy. Do as I ask, respect me and be appreciative is the mantra. Can't handle it if not. I think he is a narc.
I'm also worried that he will bad mouth me to her in future and impact my relationship with DD. He clearly has no respect for me.
Has anyone grown up with such a parent in the picture? Is it better to have no contact?
(we have a safety plan in place)
