      Just looking for advice on navigating time afterwards with your ex’s family or mutual friends.

      At the moment we are living together. Family know and a few friends but not everyone. I despise his family, they are totally toxic and want very little to do with them.

      Also got an invite to mutual friends (met through my partner though), (detail removed by moderator) and don’t know whether we go as a “family” or does he take the kids or do I take the kids?? We met through the husbands but his wife sent me the invite because we’re good friends now too.

      I would love to just cut ties with him and his family once I’ve moved out (except basic, respectful co-parenting). Right now, I can’t deal with the onslaught I would get from him if I did this now.

      What did you do?

      Hi Lionking,

      Thank you for your post. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. It can be really difficult to navigate this- its okay for you to set boundaries and do what feels right for you. You know what you went through and what you have been enduring.

      You mentioned you are living together at the moment- if you are separated your safety is really important while you are making plans to move out. If you are not working with them already- I would encourage you to contact your local domestic abuse service for ongoing support.

      Best Wishes

      Lisa
