      I have done it. For the sake of the baby and for my sanity I made the big step and it has been so and so … remorse, fear, having second thoughts … especially when I have been constantly bombarded with texts, emails, messages. The last one where him “admitted “ he is in the wrong and not offered the needed support. And this after a cascade of threats , trying to play with my head again… I am aware of the mind games but the last one was a tearjerker…
      what keeps you going ? Not looking back? I have my child that keeps me going but sometimes when he cries inconsolably for a bit it makes me feel like I am a terrible mum. That’s how much the whole situation twisted my head.
      I pick myself back up again and give it my best. I owe to myself , to my lovely baby…

      Hello I just want to say I think you are a fantastic mum and you should be so proud of yourself. It is so hard to leave. It’s normal to be struggling read up on trauma bonds and try and go no contact. It must be so hard with a young child I didn’t leave until mine were nearly adults and that was a terrible mistake. I wish I had the courage you have there would be so much less damage. Soothe yourself and do little gentle things for yourself and when you comfort your child remember how amazingly brave you are. It will get easier with time. Stay strong x*x
