Does the fear ever pass?

My ex has asked yet again to see me, apparently he wants to discuss Christmas. I have refused again, all plans as far I am concerned are set, he can do what he wants in terms of presents etc. He will see the children, that's all arranged.

Every time seeing him is mentioned I end up a quaking mess at the very thought of it. He wasn't violent, but I was and still am terrified of him. For those of you further down the road than I am does the fear pass or will I be forever scared of him?

Thank you.

(And for those of you who have read my previous threads, divorce is progressing, Decree Nisi will happen at the end of this month, sorting finances is tricky as he keeps stalling but we have now exchanged Form Es.)

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question about fear. But I just wanted to say well done for plucking up the courage to LTB and congratulations on your impending divorce .

Thanks Kr1stina.

Anyone any experience of this?

Not fear for me just dread. Because if there are any issues everything gets dredged up again and it's never pleasant.

Why can't he just call you?
