Hi
I have namechanged as I wanted to hear advice and maybe experiences without people having the info from my previous thread.
I am seriously considering going back to my ex. I feel like it's safer and easier to be back with him. He never hurt my dd and she's the only one I really care about. Has anyone had any good experience of going back because since leaving him I just feel shitter than ever.
Tia

No need. I just wish I could do more. But know that I'm holding your hand tightly, far away though I am x

How did court go? Keep holding on, we are all behind you x

purplepavements · 17/10/2015 07:54

Court was really difficult but he got a prison sentence but I feel bad

That is great - you must not feel bad. You didn't cause this.

calmish1 · 17/10/2015 09:07

I can't imagine how raw you must be feeling. Take care of yourself Flowers

BearFoxBear · 17/10/2015 10:08

That's great news purple, you've done so well. You don't need feel bad - he deserves prison for what he's done and you deserve to live a life where you can be happy. It'll take time, but without the court date hanging over you, and him most definitely out of your life, I hope that you begin to see beyond it into making a fresh start for yourself. I'm so proud of you Flowers

I feel stupid because I miss him. Feel like i did this wrong thing. I thought I was doing the right thing I thought I'd feel better

When will it start to feel ok

OP posts:
BearFoxBear · 17/10/2015 20:51

It'll take time to feel more comfortable with everything that's happened over the past few months, but you absolutely did the right thing, even though it doesnt feel like that right now. I don't know when you'll feel better, but it will improve. You're doing really well, I promise.

I want my baby

BearFoxBear · 17/10/2015 23:10

I know Flowers

purplepavements · 19/10/2015 12:33

I'm going to work today. due there in an hour and a half and I've started panicking

OP posts:
BearFoxBear · 19/10/2015 14:38

I hope that you're there now and settling in. Maybe being around people you know - and I think that your boss is supportive? - is a good thing. Sometimes distracting yourself with work helps, it definitely does for me. Let us know how it went later on.

purplepavements · 20/10/2015 19:56

I'm feeling very lonely and alone

Hi Purple, I'm here, do you want to talk?

NotNob · 20/10/2015 20:51

Hi Purple. I have just read your thread and I'm in awe of your strength so far. You don't feel strong but you truly are. I'm around if you want to talk.

purplepavements · 20/10/2015 21:11

Yes please
I need to talk

OP posts:
JennaRainbow · 21/10/2015 06:05

Hi Purple, I've also only just seen your thread and am here for you. I can't believe how brave and strong you are, you have so much to deal with. I find you very inspiring. I can see from the thread you have many friends on here that care about you, and now you have one more. What do you want to talk about? How are you feeling? X

NotNob · 21/10/2015 17:45

How's it going, purple?

purplepavements · 21/10/2015 18:49

I'm feeling very very low

OP posts:
JennaRainbow · 21/10/2015 19:11

So sorry to hear that Purple, we are all here for you. What have you done today? Did you go into work? Have you eaten? Please remember how strong you are. You have come so incredibly far and should be really proud of yourself.

NotNob · 21/10/2015 19:40

Would you like to tell us your thoughts?

BearFoxBear · 21/10/2015 20:49

Hi purple, we're here for you x
