Hi Vbabyp

If you are looking for general advice around a separation then our website has some useful information on how to communicate with children after a separation.  Please click on this link:

I am in the same situation , my ex husband is an addict and inflicted alot of domestic abuse on me

its so hard – my daughter is 2 soon so doesnt understand yet but have a court order called prohibted steps order to keep them away

but still going theough the court rubbish… and he will probably get to see her

which i think isnt fair

as mothers we want the best for our children and if we dont feel they are safe somewhere you would think we have the right to choose that?

Anyways feel free to message me

its helpful to speak to people who are in a similar situation as you

🙂
