About to trigger an NMO on the father of my child

Has anyone triggered an NMO before? I need some courage.

My 4 month old's father is unstable and I've slowly been able to confront the fact our relationship has been manipulative, controlling and abusive since day dot.

Due to documenting everything over a two year period the cycle of love-bombing, discard and repair is so blindingly obvious its embarrassing.

I have held my ground this last time and after a few incidents worthy of the NMO he appears to have backed down. I'm anxious about him pursuing parental responsibility in the future though... and he's only been quiet for the last two weeks... but why do those two weeks make me feel like the NMO is overkill?

I have been in un-emotional admin mode getting the evidence together but as I get closer to pulling the trigger I am getting hit with all the feelings but mostly fear of the unknown as I question if I'm doing the right thing and whether this NMO will just end up re-engaging him and giving him the conflict he craves...
