Thanks for that Freida. We (my children and I) are trying to get out of the quicksand of him. It's very hard. Tiring. Demoralizing to have to struggle so hard, but I'm alive and so are they.
He is currently pulling my oldest down, I feel. Grooming him because he's the most vulnerable and useful one he can still manipulate.
My second oldest is very damaged from him, and not doing well, at all, but he's mostly out of reach of his father. The services I brought in have made it harder and harder for his dad to predate on him and gaslight him. But he wreaks much damage in the one weekend a month he has access to our son.
My daughters are going to get away and be ok. And so is my two youngest sons. And my middle boy is in a solid relationship (I think, it's pretty solid anyway, even though he's estranged from me ) still avoiding me. He's a tortured young man, when it comes to me and he uses drugs to "manage".
