      My dear friends. I left with my children. Battled with depression. Overcame it. Represented myself over contact issues. Returned to work. Directed the whole orchestra of asking help from different agencies for the children and I to overcome the trauma. But the he abuse never ceased. He feels entitled… to possess me… to control me… to remind me that I, we have no right to move on.
      Then he presents drunk after driving the children back from contact. Back again to stopping contact. Seeing my children scared. Back again to shining my armour. (detail removed by moderator) . Denies everything. Presenting me as the abuser with parenting issues because I took the children to the beach and the baby cut his hand with a shell and took him to hospital. My dear friends… I’m back in a war I don’t want to battle. But for my children… for my children I’ll give my life if I have to. Please give me strength. I can do this. We can do this. I’m going to battle for the children and I to live a peaceful existence.

      Try to get a health prof like the GP or anyone really to get a statement from the children. Are they old enough to write down what happened? x
