Dd is 20. She is currently chatting to her father via FaceTime. I don't have a problem with this, apart from the fact that he's an abusive arse and she has a tried to commit suicide twice due in (large) part to his behaviours. I have asked that this remain in her bedroom. It's making me feel sick that I can hear him and I am shaky. I know she is in the most dreadful position of hating him because of his behaviour and what he has done to her (emotionally) and loving him because he's her father. But I have ptsd because of him and I know I will have nightmares tonight. There is a non molestation order in place and this includes social media, I will invoke this if he pushes her into showing him round the house.
Just getting this out really. I feel so sick. I think I just want someone to tell me I'm not being silly.
Thank you.

Good for you dawn

Well done Dawn you are stronger than you think. You saw the problem and dealt with it. It does not feel good but you were able to be with the feelings and still act.

Starlight I think the legal profession is ill-equipped to deal with domestic abuse when it comes to child contact. The line is best interests of children, so we act out of love for our children. But we also need to be safe to look after our children.

Dawn who warned him regarding the Non Mol and have you logged the breach with the police?

Superb news! Grin

I'm really pleased for you Dawn

Agree with Chuckle, if it hasn't been already, get it logged

You need to ensure everything is logged so that the relevant authorities can decide if further action is required.

Hard for you, but well done, Dawn
