thank you. Yes your right I think I need more information about what my options are. I spoke to someone from WA who gave me lots of contact numbers and I meet someone advised by WA in the next week so hopefully I will be better informed after that and feel less stuck. I feel a mix of wanting to do something about it to feel more powerful and willing to do anything for a few days breather. Over 100 messages in 3 weeks is excessive and suffocating. Just want a break. Luckily I have saved them all. I never say a bad word to the kids about their dad but they seem to want to see him less and less due to his behaviour.
