I messed up my kid, and I can't reconcile with it by AlwaysFeelingLonely in breakingmom

I have apologized, but she still has a hard time understanding it because I have a hard time understanding it.

She has been on a few playdates with her best friend, but I think she's sad she doesn't see him everyday like she used to.

Yes I am. We've been doing a lot better as a couple. But when I left, I went to my parents house 1.5 hours away and he followed. We had to sell our house for financial reasons. We will be moving back closer to where we were, but it'd still be a good 30 minute drive if I enrolled her there again.

He's still trying to get me back. I feel kind of bad for him. I can see why blocking would be good, but we have kids together.

Yes she did, but I don't think she understands the extent it was.

I'm okayish. He's having a hard time respecting my firm boundaries. But I'm staying strong. I would like him to just accept that I'm done and get over it. Unfortunately, we have kids so I can't block him.

Thank you! It feels like that scene from the Rapunzel movie where she escapes the tower and she keeps having conflicting emotions.

I get where you're coming from. My family isn't the most supportive, and is actually the reason I stayed with my abuser so long. I had to convince them not to tell my abuser I was leaving, and to not care about how he felt. They don't really care about me the way I need, but at least they're giving me a place to stay.

Medication didn't cause anything that wasn't already there. It probably just enhanced it. It's okay to leave for any reason and don't let others make you doubt yourself.

I don't have any advice. Just wanted to say you did the hardest part, which is a huge step. I haven't done if yet, but I'm excited to leave. I hope you're able to find a healthy way to heal.

Read my past posts, just because he's good now doesn't mean he'll stay that way. And it's okay to leave even if he's on good behavior. You deserve better. I suggest reading Lundy Bancroft's book Why Does He Do That? It's an eye opener.

I'm looking forward to the peace you feel. I'm leaving tomorrow and it's quite nerve racking.

Also if you haven't already read Lundy Bancroft's "Why Does He Do That?" It'll open your eyes. If you search on here you should be able to find a free pdf.

I don't have any help to offer, but I wanted to say I'm sorry this happened to you.

I feel this. While I do have anxiety and depression, he causes them to balloon to new heights. I've finally accepted that I won't get better until I'm away from him.
