      Not posted on here for a long while. Things seem to be worse than ever in the department of “co parenting” with my ex, it’s just another way of him controlling me but for some reason he seems to be getting away with it.

      Anyway the reason for posting is that I’ve been living with my parents for a long while with my kids. The house I was in before was sold before I gave birth so ended up back with my mum, since then I’ve obviously split with my ex and things have got nasty so I ended up just staying with my mum for my own piece of mind and for the feeling of safety.

      Now I’ve got my youngest child aswell, it’s pretty cramped in here and although we all love eachother, it can’t stay like this as the space is just the biggest issue.
      I’ve managed to find myself a house for me and the girls and I can move in soon.

      My question is, how will I cope on my own?
      Without the safety net of my parents. I just alrwady live looking over my shoulder constantly, so moving out will only make that worse I can imagine. But it’s something I can’t avoid doing.

      Ex is also claiming I’m mentally unstable and that I shouldn’t be allowed to live on my own with the kids, so when I do move out I know it’s only a matter of time before something is said.. He’s already reported me for the most ridiculous thing – although the professionals did actually agree they thought it was made maliciously against me and it wasn’t a genuine concern.

      Ideas would be helpful.. Sorry for the long post x

      Hi Jelly Bean, I am not sure of your situation but you mention professionals being involved could one of them refer you to the sanctuary scheme to help you feel safer in your new home.

      https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sanctuary-schemes-for-households-at-risk-of-domestic-violence-guide-for-agencies

      Could this be a possibility for the situation you are in ?

      I am assuming you are in the UK but if you are not then maybe there is a similar scheme where you are? x
