To cut a long story short, I was in an LGBTQ+ extremely violent relationship for (detail removed by Moderator) years with my ex abuser. We had a child together ((detail removed by Moderator)) and they moved into my house which became my prison. My abuser refused to put me on the birth certificate and so I do not have legal rights to my own baby. Power play at its finest. I have a disability and my ex abuser said I was “incompetent” to be a parent. They said I didn’t deserve to be a legal parent. My child is known to social services and as far as I know, has not suffered the abuse I have undergone.
When I left it was spontaneous. I didn’t plan it and I left. I knew I couldn’t take my baby because it would have been seen s abduction. Nobody would have believed me. I am now worried for my baby and feel so worried for them but I knew that I needed to get out to start a new and healthy life devoid of abuse.
(detail removed by Moderator) I’m scared that my ex abuser will poison my child’s mind against me in the future. I Don’t want my baby to grow up thinking that I wanted to leave her, but it was so complex. (detail removed by Moderator) but sometimes I feel that I could just give up on this earth.
I don’t, for my child.
They are the only thing keeping my alive.
Please help me. I feel like the world’s worst mother.

Hi Phenomenon,
Thank you for sharing with us. I hope it is helping to post to us about how you are feeling and what you have been through. Leaving is hard, you had to make a decision for your own safety and wellbeing- this does not make you a bad mother. Leaving your child must have been so very difficult and it is understandable you have worries for your child. If you wanted to explore any rights or options you have regarding your child and their welfare then The Coram Children’s Legal Centre may be able to give you further information via their website.
Do keep posting to us when you can, we understand how difficult this all is.
Best wishes,
Lisa
