      My ex is using our child as an excuse to tell me how to live my life. I’ve just realised that I have started using grey rock. I’m still a bit wobbly, but there’s something to be said for not allowing him to see he’s upset me.

      Yay for you, darling! It’s such a powerful strategy and gives you so much power and confidence.

      Well done!

      Well done. Next step is to reduce contact to an absolute minimum. Watch out for him upping his game when he can’t get a reaction. Stay safe x

      Great doing!
      I love grey rock, it is my go to method to get rid of exploitative people. They can go plug themselves into someones else’s veins!

      *whateverapproach* look up grey rock. Its about not giving an animated response when your abuser is trying to upset you or start an argument, so you just respond with things like yes, no or okay. The idea is they get bored of no reaction and start to leave you alone.
