My ex husband has started the family court process, has a solicitor.
For context we have been separated 4 years and I left him then as he was abusive, everything but sexual although he did not hit me but would hit things. Have had to deal with post separation abuse since I left which I believe this whole court facade is part of too.
Despite this I have always tried to be amicable with him.
He's been in and out of our child's life since I left, abit more consistent this year, I also have safeguarding concerns for my child, I'm not wanting to stop contact completely however the massive jump he is asking for I don't feel is at all fair to our child and not in their best interests. Our child is 6 and is autistic.
I'm standing on my own through all this, I feel completely overwhelmed and keep second guessing myself, I know I'm a good Mum who's done everything for my child, so why am I feeling so shit?! I feel like no one believes me. I need to fight this and be strong, does anyone have any tips how they got through it? I just want to be left alone by him 😔
