      A lot more difficult to deal with. I feel very needy and want to contact him although I won’t but also I’m finding that I’m becoming quite a shit mum. Just a lot more short tempered than usual and I don’t like it. I hope this will be short lived and that I have what it takes to get through this hormonal crap without contacting him and stay as calm as possible for my daughter. Being mean to her is the last thing I want to do after leaving that man. Feel pretty low.

      Do you have anywhere you could go? A friends house? Somewhere with space for you to just think? Think about what you really want, what you really deserve? A space that is safe? Because you don’t sound very safe right now.

      Thanks for that, that was actually really helpful. I haven’t been eating well and I doubt I’ve drank enough water at all although I have noticed and have tried to think about looking after myself. I just don’t understand what it is I feel, I can’t put my finger on it and I feel that if I could understand it then I could move on. I suppose what you have said about making sense of the trauma makes sense there too. I just hope that it goes away and doesn’t get worse, it worries me a bit. He contacts me every now and again telling and he’s very remorseful, I’m not sure if that’s a blessing or a curse. I’m not going back to him, I can’t. Ugh, it’s just all so confusing.
      I will look into therapy as I had it last year but could probably do with going back.
      Thanks for your support.
