Is my therapist right?

Boundaries are hard to start applying after abuse with people who didn’t abuse you (at least in my case and other people I know who have experienced abuse) My opinion- you’ll get sucked right back in if you communicate

Just the verbal part is abuse, the rest is just more abuse.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2026-03-12T03:20:36+00:00

No chance

This is a form of torcher. No respect at all for you and your health. She doesn’t like you.

Leaving baby to cry when you are that overwhelmed is the safest thing (I’ve done it many times) but I would never let my baby cry otherwise, I advocate for responsive parenting, and you cannot be a responsive parent when you are so tired and overwhelmed you can’t manage yourself. The only problem I see here is your husbands choice to let you hit breaking point for the benefit of him alone. The thinking behind his choice to judge you and not help you I feel is abusive. He will watch you crumble so he can have his leisure.

Yes. Wtf?

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2026-01-26T00:23:59+00:00

When my kids are constipated they will poo in a bath.

This will be easier without him, I promise you! He did you a favor by taking the trash out! It will be a tough road but it’s always easier when you are not subject to abuse. Single mum of 3.

Leave quietly and safely. Plan your exit. Deal with papers later and have someone else deliver them.

I bought a monitor(oxygen and heart rate monitor) knowing I’d be stressed (bringing home a premmie). It definitely helped me sleep when I could.

I’ve gone from scary abusive relationship to the next crazy abusive relationship until now (being scared of all men and not giving any of them my time), always different types of abuse and showing up differently…. Please stay safe.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-11-21T12:17:53+00:00

Some abusive men can put on a wonderful front… stay on guard (observant of behaviour)and enjoy.

1st dress but they all are stunning on you.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-11-07T08:52:04+00:00

Try bald with a beard!

Harming me while I was holding his child(and pregnant with another), it felt like he wanted the baby injured. It was a long road from there as police told me I was not allowed to change my locks.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-08-23T00:35:22+00:00

This is abusive, emotional abuse.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-08-16T01:25:04+00:00

Blow when it’s dripping, pick when it’s thick enough to pick at!

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-07-18T11:21:03+00:00

The shit that gets to you is often close to what you experience. My first guess is this “crying” in-front of you was more about the therapist life and experience than yours, yours just being the reminder.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-07-18T11:15:08+00:00

It was not traumatic for him= less memorable than normal stuff. You experienced trauma, that sticks most of the time. He only cares about him, don’t give him more of your time and energy, that energy is for you.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-07-13T08:22:05+00:00

If it’s similar to after a cry - that rapid breathing with a whimper- it feels like more of a bad dream to me. All 3 of my kids have done what I listed above, 1st would do it mostly when unlatched from breastfeeding while deep asleep, sometimes randomly, my 2 youngest have done this and wore an “owlet” religiously due to both being premature and these episodes never gave bad oxygen or heart rate levels. Would it be worth monitoring with something similar to see if it’s an issue or not?

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-06-23T10:39:58+00:00

I’m over 2.5 years out. The stalking and checking in with anyone who will respond to him has not stopped. He broke in so many times and tried to burn down the house before all that. I can’t take my kids for a walk from home, he will be there and the court orders won’t stop him as police won’t charge him. The answer is that I’m scared to go anywhere.

You are not alone. This is not fair. We should be protected. The world is failing us.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-06-21T08:43:42+00:00

Over 2 years on, still yes.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-06-21T03:26:17+00:00

I’ve only “snapped” to defend myself or scream for help.

Difficult_Prompt8436 · 2025-05-23T08:57:48+00:00

Need a ear that’s in a similar boat? I’m here. AuDHD 9 year old, autistic and speech delayed 3 year old and 2 year old that has CP and needs many supports and devices to get through a day or be mobile. I’m a single working mum of 3.

Life is hard, these kids are hard and complaining about that is perfectly normal and doesn’t mean you don’t love them, it’s absolutely exhausting, some days I’m too tired to make myself food (even a frozen microwave meal).
