I have been in a relationship for the last 18 months or so with a man who has a 6yo DD. DD stays with him every other weekend. I have 2 DDs who live with me most of the time but not usually at weekends.
The relationship has been fraught with difficulties and has become increasingly controlling. I have tried to end it several times but always emotionally blackmailed back - usually because of what he tells me the impact will be on his DD who I am close with.
He has not had an easy time over the last 16 months for various reasons and I've stuck around to see if things will get better but they aren't and I have to leave. I don't want to go into any more detail on this but am looking for advice on how to end the relationship in a way that limits the damage to his DD. I would welcome any advice that you can give me! Thank you
