Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I am so very deeply embedded in chaos and crazy town that I am almost beginning to think it is all me and all my fault.
Now.... just to make me even crazier. He is doing the ignore Shannon game. Came back into my life, messed me up terribly and then poof.... when I start to respond he is gone like the wind.
Thankful that he is a thousand miles away and there hasn't been any contact except through the telephone. I hardly know the next step to take. I am a mess.

When my daughter turned 18 I totally stepped out of the whole thing between my ex and my daughter. It's up to him to forge that relationship, and it's up to her to decide if she wants it. I've got too much of my own "stuff" wrapped in my feelings about her father to be any help to either one of them in figuring that crap out. I just keep telling her, "You call the shots. It's up to you to decide how much time you spend with him, and what your boundaries are in that relationship. I will support you in whatever you decide." The rest is between her, him and her therapist (he doesn't go to therapy-just her).
I know going through this court thing is a terrible, terrible stressor. Your daughter is lucky to have your love and support through this!
