Parenting with an abuser

[Sunshines]

I’ve come back on and had messages asking me what is it like now I’ve left him. Home life is complete and total bliss
My children are happy and we are chilled at home !
I am trying to shed the weight I put on whilst with him
Cortisol face (caused by stress)
I’ve completely stopped drinking
I was drinking weekly when I was with him

I don’t miss him at all
I am very angry that I stayed for so long when I should of left
We have children
Contact is minimal with him
My children have reported back that he is calling them insults

I’m worried that he can’t no longer abuse me he has no moved onto to the children verbal abuse

Has anyone experienced this ?
It seems like another form of abuse

Well done and yes, going through this now. Not sure what to do either. It’s really hard isn’t it, sorry probably not a helpful response but wanted you to know you’re not alone. x

Thank you banana boat ! I suppose it’s all part of a process but at least we’ve escaped x x

I’ve also left and feel happier and less stressed at home but worry as well about child arrangements as we have a toddler and nothing has been put in place yet. I also worry he will turn them against me if not now, later.

This is what disturbs me. Once we break free the children still suffer because they have to go visit. Even though kiddo has said that home without a dad is much better. 🙃
