      hi hun

      leaving is never easy and can unsettle us as well as kids.firstly welldone for taking the first step of leaving and reaching out. yes kids will miss their house but they are also very adaptable.

      dont fall for the trick we should still go on holiday for kids sake, this will add more confusion to them. THe idea of getting rabbit is a good idea, will your landlord allow that, how about include them and allow them to be involced in the choosing.

      if he choses not to speak to his dad, dont force him, he will when his ready. not sure of age of child so cant guide too much, but i believe in listening to what the child is saying. you as an adult will make the right choice. keep reaching out to us ladies, we really arem supportive and advise on previous experience of being in a abusive realtionship.

      reasure your child u love himm and gently keep reminding him why u had to leave when he says he want to go home.

      agree with u hun, its a lovely way of just confirming things we can’t see as clearly, so hasn’t messaged me again but pissed me off by sending friend request to my friend, hopefully only sent to one but u know when u just that a feeling know that’s not the case , im glad my friend told me and ask who he was, i just immediately blocked him from social media so he cant see any of my friends

      this is what i love about this site,we can talk openly about our dating experience, how we feel and how they make us .it is a eye opener when u see how these men behave, ive met some really charming men who are just friends and have really touched my heart how much of a gentleman they are , and the shocking ones. so glad u ladies are giving me the strength not to reply to him, yes he texted this morning just to wish me a good day ,but im not going to reply. maybe his not as bad as i think,but im not gonna risk it, keeping well away, there is a reasson why my body is reacting the way it is , and imm just gonna listen to my gut and u ladies xxx

      thxs for reply, yes my gut is telling me to stay away from this man even though im really attracted to him , its quite eye opener how my body can sense this man is capable of hurting me, I was telling my best friend that even though im attracted to him I have a weird this feeling that is stopping me to get close and i only felt this b4 with my ex who for those of u know about my past relationship with ex was very dangerous and abusive for me, My friend waws saying i’m overthinking things and finding excuses not to sleep with him . But i just keep remebering that when i left ex the first thing i learnt was to trust my gut and not ignore. suppose by chatting with u ladies im just validating that i must stay away from him and break all communication, cause its sad but i just want him to message me and chat with me but then im thinking why do i feel the need for him so much. i told him (detail removed by moderator) i was breaking communication as we want different things and (detail removed by moderator) . feel so stupid that i thought he was into me

      Hi Hun

      Block him on your phone, block him on email and get police to warn him not to make contact withu, u have to put things in place to protect yourself and heal, otherwise the contact will stop your progress, it does hurt but the no contact helps

      Hey Hun

      Welldone for taking the first step, i can only repeat what the ladies have said above, you mentioned your not working.does he give any money for food shopping or clothes, i would start keeping some of that aside for emergency money for when u do leave , just to help u get in to refguee, and from there u can start seeing whaat beenfits your entitiled to, call the support line and ask for the agencies that can help you , and make a plan in advance
