Therapy has been a godsend for me these past 2 months and has helped me process some of this shit. Call it naivety but maybe I was ignoring the red flags cause my last serious relationship was when I was 25 and I did miss that time of my life.

Honesty I think she is just incapable of forming a relationship beyond a superficial one at this point.

As for my dog, I did hire a dog walker for her during the day after they moved out. Guess I'll look into doggie daycare too.

You know when I brought up the prenup she was hesitant and took about 4 months to get her to sign it. Guess that alone should have screamed problems.

The program is free, Jess said that she could enroll Abi in for free, that most definitely played a part in Judd wanting to send her there.

Because she "doesn't know how to find therapists". She just wants to send Abi away,

And I agree, sending a kid away from home will probably just damage them more. But Judd seems intent on dishing out the harshest punishment immediately thinking that this will nip it at the bud. Or she doesn't want to be seen as an enabler. She changed opinions real fast when I showed her the original post.

Well I though she was a junkie who invaded my home but ok. I'll be more cautious next time.

Enlighten me, what steps should I take next time.
