- I am NC with my parents. They are hugely dysfunctional, and during my divorce from my abusive ex they chose to support him instead of me and their grandchildren. They even violated the restraining order and took my kids to visit their abuser - not...
- Has anyone looked into whether our (of some of our) HS could be caused by yeast infection?We get the sores in folds of skin that tend to stay damp. I know I am prone to YI, and every time I take an oral antifungal (like Diflucan) my sores disappear...
- Hi. Has anyone had experience with an ex who refused to follow the divorce decree / court order? I'm in this situation and not sure what to do next. I did not have a lawyer for my divorce, but ex did. Should I contact her, or is that wrong?
- This is not something I feel really confident admitting, but I know I'm not the only one, so....I am obese, and I carry much of my weight in my tummy. So my tummy kind of hangs over, and it creates a fold at the top of my thighs / groin. My HS is...
- Has anyone read about this / tried it?I came across it this week. It's a way of handling NPD/BPD abusers when you are unable to go full NC (for instance, if you share custody of children.)The idea is basically to become so boring to them that you...
- My abusive ex and I have been separated for years, but our divorce is only recently final. He has regular visits with our children while he is under a therapist's care.So a month ago I sent him an email with a (very fair) suggestion for how to split...
- Does anyone know of a good resource that explains the stages we go through when going no contact with a loved one / family member?I am a few months into NC with my parents (for very good reason, I worked for years in therapy to forgive them and heal...
- I left my abusive ex three years ago and about 6 months ago went NC with my abusive mother. It hasn't always been easy, but I know it was the right decision.A week or so ago my mother did something really hurtful to try and capture my attention. I...
- Particularly with a family member, when you go no contact do you explain why? Do you tell them why you are no longer going to be answering their phone calls or emails?Part of me feels a strong need to tell them what they have done, and part of me...
- Next week I am headed into court for another hearing. My ex has been a nightmare during this divorce, telling lies about me, hiding money, you name it. He has a very aggressive lawyer as well. I ended up having to fire my lawyer and there's no money...
- Just venting for a moment.When I divorced our abuser, the courts decided he could see them in small, regular chunks of time. One of the criteria for this access to the kids was that he get into family therapy with them so they would have support as...
- If you happen to see this in the next day or two, give me your input (please!)The background to this is my ex was abusive towards all of us but particularly physically abusive towards the kids. The courts have decided that it is a great idea to give...
- I came across this page while searching for info about my case. It's a very well written and complete source of information about domestic violence as well as how to escape.I really like the calm and friendly tone the piece is written in. I also...
- Man, every time I think my ex has sunk to a new low as a human being - or more importantly as a father that shares children with me - he surprises me and goes that little bit further into horrible. The sheer number of lies he has told, the dragging...
- I am ALMOST done with an extremely contentious and complicated divorce. We have one more financial mediation left and then I think we go to court to finalize everything. It's taken over a year.My problem is that my lawyer is totally dropping the...
