Small steps and feeling grateful

[backtome]

Hey everyone. So I’m in the process of reducing my contact with the ex. I can’t go completely no contact as we have a young daughter together. What I’ve done is order a new phone with a new number. I’m keeping the old one for my daughter to speak to her Daddy and I will have him completely blocked from everything except for an email address which he can contact regarding arrangements for our daughter. I’m so proud of this step, but also nervous about the consequences it will bring. At the moment he is still very much in contact with me on a daily basis and I don’t want that because that’s when I get hijacked into doing the “family” days out etc.

In other news, the social worker has requested me to do a parenting course. I was soooo nervous about telling work I need yet MORE time off for ANOTHER course (i’ve already done 1 and am part way through a domestic abuse one too) but they have been amazing – I’m SO lucky to have the job and colleagues that I do.

I’m really starting to feel supported which in turn is making me feel so much stronger. x
