      Would you think it’s a good idea?

      She’s recently contacted me asking if I’m free for a coffee soon. We always got on and I used to be able to open up to her during my abusive relationship. She often gave me good advice and comforted me when I needed it.

      My friend says it’s a bad idea, I’m very wary about it. It would be nice to see her but I fear it will bring everything back and I’m already doing a lot better.

      Xx

      I’d say right now just go with your gut. If you want to see her then go ahead but do realise that if it’s too painful you can just make an excuse and leave. You’re in control.

      HI Hun

      Why would u want to meet up with her is what i would ask myself, i got on with loads of my ex sister in laws and they say to me lets meet up for a coffee, but i always refuse and just polietely say maybe another time, i find anyone releated to ex can set triggers of, you are clearly doing well , dont let them pull u back in

      I dont think anything good can come of it, all id want to do is rant about him or try to brag about how well im doing without him. It will just trigger something bad and il end up sad and depressed again. Hes the childish one to play games, not me.

      Thanks guys xx

      I wonder if I would like to meet with his family if they asked. I doubt if they will.

      But then I remember the damage and the can of worms it would open and the opportunity it would give him to get back into hurting the kids again.

      My answer would be thank you, but right at this time no thank you.
