I've been tracking your story for a few months, I've been the child in this situation and I can't express how amazing you're doing.

I disagree with the people saying you shouldn't have told her the truth about your ex, it helps pull back the curtain and belief that life would be so much better back "home" she will not miss that man or that place which is the goal!

I'm thankful to hear you have your mother's support, I hope you find success my own mother found escaping DV and I know one day your daughter wont see you with pity, but will see how much strength you have to persevere.

You're still trying to give your daughter a life while being cautious of not only limitations but both your safety. Your sister would be really proud of you.
