Hi. I would welcome advice. I have been in a highly emotionally abusive relationship for years, which has on occasion been physically abusive. I have tried to leave before but wasn't strong enough to weather the onslaught of abuse and control. I am finally leaving. My OH is autistic, has high anxiety and dominates and controls everything. I strongly suspect he is a vulnerable narcissist so prone to extreme anger outbursts. He has been abusive to my daughter but not my son. I am finally leaving and he is trying to destroy me, playing relentless mind games. All of a sudden he's fun dad and on a charm offensive with the children, whilst passively aggressively destroying my confidence and dominating all interactions with the children. I am a shell of who I was. He has reneged on all agreed custody arrangements and is going for 50% custody, week in week out. He is playing a clever game, all of a sudden doing things like getting up for breakfast or having a nighttime routine that he has never done. My children are 14 and 10. They are both autistic. After everything I've been through I'm heartbroken and devastated. I am too scared to take him through the courts as he is ruthless with no empathy and I am scared of the impact of his vengeance upon me and the children after the court case is settled and he's already said he'll play dirty if things rule against him. Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice. To try to meet him half way I suggested I do week days to give children routine (which I've always done - he has no time management) and he has fun weekends with all holidays shared. He has rejected this. He wants absolute half. I know he is partially doing this to punish me for leaving but I don't think, legally, I can stop him without recourse through the courts. All advice welcomed on how I can make this work and what I can do to try to protect the children. Schools are aware of past abuse and I'm logging everything. Thank you.
