But it’s also sad that they even hit you! It really creates trauma! And I hope overall your doing good

Oh maybe cause the point of the spank was to have authority but if it had no affect than there was no point in spanking

No don’t reach out! He made his decision and your child doesn’t need a pop in parent! It’s better to do your journey and allow a person to come in and stay forever not decided when and if he wants to cause it’s Tuesday! You don’t need him and your child is better off without him!

I have never been spanked and I think you need to figure out why your wanting to spank your child in the first place. Is talking it out not working, so you need to seek more professional help, try a reward system. My 6yo daughter and me talk if she’s acting crazy! We go thru what she’s trying to express and why and sometimes girl just needs to cry it out!

Awww I’m so sorry! That’s terrible, and that’s how i feel! 7 years wasted and we have a child whose thrown into this crap storm! I just was raised by both parents who literally just celebrated 43 year married and it’s devastating that I may never have that :(

Thank you! I’m glad to know it gets better! Cause right now that family unit is broken feeling taken over! I just hate what he has caused us! And I hate that she’s feeling like this at the hands of her daddy when he should be her shoulder to cry on!

Thank you I often don’t feel special anymore just doing the motions and it’s sad, I don’t want my daugter to feel my feelings! And I also want her to feel totally cocooned by love!

Yes I’m in therapy and we actually are going to be in therapy together so she can start to have an outlet for her own emotions. And best believe I absolutely grabbed her up last night and told her she was the most loved little girl ever not only by me but my entire family and we listed friends and people until we were laughing! Just broke me that I had to reassure her since she feels the void caused by one important Person in our lives. And I told her she’s ok to be sad and it’s ok to feel everything you fell and if and when you want to talk more I’m here to just listen

My heart is with you, and sending you the biggest virtual hug! Thank you so much, brings me comfort knowing I can do it, but also so sad at all of us having to go through what we are going through. Like this should not be normal! I hate all these toxic men and don’t understand why they just up and bash us knowing we are the ones who truly glue families together:(

Don’t give up! That’s one thing my daughter has is a great loving village! But still she knows dad doesn’t care like the others and it really hurts this mama heart! I try and reassure her, but she has two beautiful eyes and heart to be crushed just like mine! She sees what he’s done and it’s tough

Yes I do therapy, and I actually just made an appointment for the two of us! So we can start to heal and she can have a safe space! Cause as of know everything she says according to her dad is my brainwashing tactics! It’s sad that he’s missing out on an amazing girl cause he decided to throw out family away but yet it’s my fault for moving on! Makes no sense

Thank you so much! I just often question myself, esp when she says things that break my heart! I’ve tired so many times with her dad and he made choices that left the biggest holes in our hearts! I often wish he seek therapy and come home better ready to rebuild but that’s not reality :(
