UPDATE!! 'How do I move on'
Hello lovely ladies,
I really appreciate all of you taking the time to read my last post, and the advice you all gave.
In the last week I have seen a social worker and getting my money situation all sorted, I am looking at a house to rent for my daughter and myself this coming Monday. So excited about that.
My daughter has been completely different this last week, she's been 'talking' more and playing, she has hardly cried and has been so happy. I didn't realise how much my stress affected her, glad she is happier now.
Have met my ex and his mother at public places so they can see the baby, haven't had anymore troubles with them as I put my foot down and told them off (as nicely as I could). Told him he is to get counselling if he wants a relationship wih his daughter. We have come to a custody agreement haven't done any paperwork about that yet, just getting a house sorted first. He knows that what he did was unacceptable and I am not putting up with it, and knows we are not having a relationship anymore but being civil with each other for our daughter.
I am feeling very positive about the whole situation now, a very hard time but I know I am strong enough to protect myself and my baby girl. Starting to get counselling myself to work through this tough time so I can be better for myself and my girl.
I want to thank you all again for your kind and supportive words, it was just the confidence boost I needed to keep going. Xxx

That's so great. Well done. I'm glad you're seeing positive changes in your daughter already and so clearly, and in yourself. let that motivate you to keep going when you waver. All the best what you've done is amazing! inspiring!!!
Make sure you get the custody arrangement in writing and make sure he knows if you feel threatened at anytime that you'll be going to supervised visitation. Take someone with you to these meetings.
This made me smile. Well done beautiful. All the best for you and your daughter a new amazing life lies ahead for you both
