OP I haven’t read your whole first thread but I’ve read enough to be a bit freaked out as I went through exactly the same thing. I was worried it might have been the same guy.

My ex lied about his name, age and just about everything else. My daughter also has a fake name on her birth certificate. I ended up going to court 19 times to protect my daughter from him.

That’s a very short version, it’s a long story and the abuse he put me through was horrific. It turned out he has antisocial personality disorder (a psychopath).

I had a book published about what happened to me, you might find it interesting. PM me if you want me to tell you the name of it.

Good Luck for tomorrow!

Also, you may want to move this thread back to the relationship board again (just report your post and ask for it to be moved, like you did previously).

eaglejulesk · 29/11/2019 02:06

Best wishes to you. You have been incredibly brave and strong, just keep going and things will turn out for the best. Flowers

Thinking of you FedUp xx

REignbow · 29/11/2019 05:04

You have an army of support.

CoxwellHuge · 29/11/2019 05:12

Have just found this thread and the link to your previous within it. OMG you and your DS are amazing. Good luck for today and for your amazing future of freedom xx

LudoFriend · 29/11/2019 05:39

Good luck OP. I know it must be terrifying, but you can do this. You've been amazing so far, and your son is lucky to have you. An abusive parent is incredibly damaging over time, but your son seems to be as strong as his Mum is, and you both deserve all the happiness the world has to offer.

LauraPalmersBodybag · 29/11/2019 05:50

Goodness op, I’ve just rtft. Best of luck today, I hope you feel strong and emboldened by your bravery and that you and your son get the protection you deserve.

Just read your whole first thread. Good luck today, it might seem like a big step but it's nothing compared to what you have already achieved.

christmasathome · 29/11/2019 05:58

I remember reading your first post then never went back to the thread - I can't believe how it's progressed! Good luck today, stay strong, you are on the right track. It may get harder before it gets better but better is out there.

Borderterrierpuppy · 29/11/2019 05:59

Good luck today OP
Your son is so lucky to have you as his mum x

SusieSusieSoo · 29/11/2019 06:06

I have rtft and oh my word OP you are amazing. Just keep going as you are. You are such a brilliant mum to DS and exp cannot hurt you now. Hope it all goes well today. It will be hard going but then it'll be over & you and DS can continue with your new lives xx sending you strength xx

PlumsGalore · 29/11/2019 06:15

Good luck for today OP 💐🍀

RebootYourEngine · 29/11/2019 06:36

Just read both threads.

Good luck in court. You have already shown what a strong woman you are. Keep up the fantastic work that you are doing.

blubelle7 · 29/11/2019 06:50

Good luck OP

Lysianthus · 29/11/2019 06:51

Just came back to wish you all the very best today, I know it sounds silly but keep remembering to breathe really deeply and slowly (I tend to forget this when I’m nervous). Sending you virtual hugs and a handhold. 💐You’re an amazing woman.

Singlebutmarried · 29/11/2019 06:55

Wow. I’ve just read the whole of the threads. I remember seeing your OOP (original original post) and thinly blimey he’s a bit of a twat, and then lost the thread.

Found it this morning and my word.

You brave brave lady.

I don’t really know what else to say as words don’t seem to be enough.

I’m hoping today is another step forward in your journey and that you and your DS (and incubating DS) can have some peace of mind after today.

You’ve a whole army behind you.

CodenameVillanelle · 29/11/2019 06:56

Oh gosh good luck! I read your other thread and have been rooting for you.

CaveMum · 29/11/2019 07:01

Good luck OP, you have the power of MN behind you. If you start to feel wobbly in court try to envision this legion of women standing behind you (brandishing pitchforks)

CalmDownConan · 29/11/2019 07:09

All the best OP, you've got this!

MintyT · 29/11/2019 07:09

God luck. Sending love and strength

TicTac80 · 29/11/2019 07:14

Wishing you all the best wishes and good luck for today. I read the original thread and am in awe of your bravery and general kick-ass outlook. You're doing the right thing. Don't let him make you feel guilty or doubt yourself.
Oh and absolutely try to think of this huge army of MN women backing you up!!! I'm at work today but will try to sneak a peak on here and see how you are. Much love and strength xx

picklemepopcorn · 29/11/2019 07:14

I'm so ashamed that this is the best we can do for you- dragging you in and out of court, telling you to 'take a male'.
Good luck op.
