Hi Everybody,

I’ve just joined this forum because I need support and advice regarding Domestic Abuse.

I left my husband early in the marriage when our daughter was a toddler. I’ve suffered from bad anxiety most of my life and am now a recovering alcoholic. I left because the anxiety started getting bad after about five good years, and I started drinking again.

I was isolated in a small country town and he is not the type of man who would’ve left the house, so I went back to my family in the area I’d lived all my life.

To cut a long story short, that was followed by around (detail removed by Moderator) years of psychological and emotional abuse – in particular parental alienation.

Our daughter has just had a baby. I saw the ex last year at (detail removed by Moderator) and was under the impression we’d buried the hatchet. I was willing to and there was no animosity between us that night. He has a new wife – a (detail removed by Moderator) (sorry for language but I’d rather use that than the specific country she’s from).

I was very wrong about the hostility being over though. I just spent a week with her and the baby (they live a long way away from me) and thought it went well. We parted on good terms and were talking a lot online when I got back but (detail removed by Moderator) I was subject to a huge tirade of anger and told to leave her alone.

I *know* I haven’t done anything wrong and didn’t deserve it. How much of what she said was truly how she felt or whether he’s been in her ear I don’t know.

It’s painful for me to even write about this at the moment, so I will leave it there. I just want to distract myself for a while, but I need a safe place to talk to people about this.

Thank you x

Hi!

I’m new here too♥️

I’m so sorry you’ve gone through this, I can’t imagine how tough this has all been and the pain you must be feeling.

I have to say, you’re so brave!

Your daughter will hopefully come around, it’s not easy for them having a manipulator in their ear telling them things and most likely lies.

You said something very important ‘I know I haven’t done anything wrong’ if you know that, then you need to keep trying to be strong because you know the truth!

I’m here for a chat if you need x
