Hi I’m new to the forum. The abuse was years ago and I left my ex. I thought I had dealt with it but now I find the past has started to haunt me. My daughters adore their father and don’t want to face the truth. Their father is in hospital after an emergency op and they want my sympathy which I’m struggling to give. His abuse was violent for (detail removed by Moderator) years along with rape, being punched and putting up with his women. He got into trouble with the law on some very serious charges. He kept the matrimonial home due to a useless solicitor who failed to get me any maintenance for myself. In the past when our paths have crossed I still felt that intense fear in my stomach. The anxiety is not good at present and every time I see my daughters they talk about him and say I should realise how touch and go his survival has been. Any advice as to how to cope with this situation I would be grateful for as I realise he has been ill for a while and the disease will take him at some point.
