I've been in therapy for years, and my daughter just stopped going to therapy after about 5 years of going. My ex scares me to this day. He repeatedly does things that are violent, and he will not leave me alone. For example, this Thanksgiving, my daughter had to spend a visit with him, and...

My daughter is 17, and I've had full/sole custody of her the entire time. Her biological father wasn't in the picture until he was able to get visitation rights about 4 years ago. He completed a bunch of classes, went to therapy, and got supervised visits for 2 years, the past 2 years have...

I told my husband that I thought she did, and asked if she's ever gone to therapy. She apparently doesn't "believe" mental illness exists but spent a few years saying she had depression, but never saw anyone for it. She's very similar to my mother without the physical violence. I don't know...

Ok, thanks. I will stand my ground on that then. If it were my mom, or any other person, I would do the same thing. I do not want any kind of relationship with her, and I don't feel that I really need to just because she's my husband's mother. The relationship he has with my father and...

I was diagnosed with PTSD probably 10 years ago, and have had years of therapy, medication, etc. I've pretty much learned to manage my anxiety and I know what upsets me, so I stay away from it when I can. I grew up taking care of my bipolar mother who committed suicide over a decade ago, which...

It kills me too, because if there was at all a possible chance that he was trying to be a good dad for once in his life by wanting to give his daughter a car... That makes no sense even still. My daughter has a few grand left on her braces that I've been paying off. She has school expenses...

The court system sucks as far as custody goes. I was told that I was very lucky to get what I did get. Which still doesn't seem like much at all.

Yes. And we have brought texts from him to her into court as proof last year. There's not much we can do as that goes. He has limited involvement with her already, and she's already told her law guardian involved that she does want to spend some time with her father. So, it's really been a...

I mean, this is a man that point blank told a judge that he wanted access to the house I share with my husband when it is necessary. That is on court record. And that comment didn't just bother me, that bothered every person in the court room. He had taken me to court years ago to try an...

Just an update - The school is refusing to acknowledge any wrong doing at all. Their claim has shifted to the letter that my ex received never had my information on it, other than the letter was addressed to both Ms. Me and Mr. Him. His address was on the letter I received, so I don't really...

Well, so far, school has still been avoiding us. The teacher that sent the letter home hasn't really said anything to my daughter in class either. My ex, however, started texting my daughter yesterday asking about the letter, trying to make a big deal about it. It was driver's ed. And the...

My friends are always telling me that I'm some strong person, even my husband too, but I've never thought of it that way at all. I'm just being a mom, and my kids come first, but my safety is imperative for theirs. I don't really get too close to people or live a public life because of him...

My husband is a corporate lawyer, and not exactly the kind that I need but he's dealing with this now at this point though. He basically called them and asked them what they are doing to rectify the situation, but they are not responding with any information. The school also knows my husband...

I feel like I'm going to throw up. My daughter is grown and in high school, I have full legal and physical custody of her, and my ex husband is not involved in our lives. I was granted by a court 7 years ago to move to a different state and my ex husband is not to know my address, my phone...

I honestly just feel like crying right now. We weren't planning on doing a shower or anything, but I kinda feel like if I did, what family of mine would even come now? That hurts. When I was pregnant with my daughter, my parents completely turned their backs on me, told me I ruined my life...
