Abusive dad on social media

I guess im venting here but also looking for advice on coping with my anger here, or just any support really. I have a 4 month old daughter, I split with her dad after dealing with his crap for months - offering no help with the house, baby (even said to me they are no work, that i do nothing all day 🙄), money etc. Then he got drunk, took the baby out for hours, came back, grabbed my throat and began shouting, hurling abuse at me in front of my daughter.

There's a court case soon as he plead not guilty, I'm not worried as i got audio evidence. It's making me furious however as he's constantly posting on social media about how he misses her so dearly, how cruel I am, and so on. And that everybody is supporting him, god knows what story he's telling. I'm so annoyed that people dont know the truth, that he suddenly cares now when he wanted nothing to do with her before, he's posting all these things about loving her when he did what he did. Raaaaghh!!

Why don't you just tell them the truth? Seriously, tell everyone and their dog.

Or just block him on social media and do whatever it takes to keep him out if you and your child life for good.

I have blocked him but my friends have been telling me whats been going on. I want to tell people the truth but at the same time I dont want to stir trouble, people i am close to know what happened but i wouldn't want to approach his own friends and family. I just keep telling myself it'll be satisfying at least when he gets found guilty and everyone (hopefully) is aware.

Your friends need to stop telling you, it's not helpful to you at all. Some of his friends and family will always believe him, irrespective of the outcome of the court case.

No matter what you say there will always be people who don't believe you are telling the truth.

Block, tell your friends you aren't interested in hearing anything, and focus on your baby

Tell your friends what he did. And tell them you'd rather not hear what he posts as you want nothing more to do with him.

You could also start posting stuff on your fb about violence against woman (womens aid links ect) and let everyone draw their own conclusions that theres no smoke without a fire.

I wouldnt come out and say anything outright until he gets proven guilty but you should definately tell your support network at least.
