I now see the crap I had to go through with my now ex girlfriend.
The manipulation
The mood swings that where apparently my fault
The isolation from my family
The cohesive methods she uses
The constant abuse that made me feel so tired and worn out
The gas lighting
The made up stories maybe persecution complex behaviour.
The allegations of seeing other women
And now common assault/battery

Everything is not my fault.
So glad I’m clean and sober to see what’s going on and be able to deal with it in an adult manner doing the next right thing.
I saved myself from the booze now I am going to save myself from this domestic abuse and blossom into the man I deserve to be.

I have phoned domestic abuse hotline,
Logged the incident with the police.
I will be seeing a solicitor soon.
I will try separate mediation
Then go through the courts.
I want half child care.

She wants me out of my house and me to see my daughter twice a week and every other weekend and not be able to have her sleep over.

Just thought I’d get it off my chest.
Feel pretty calm, god I love being sober. The things i can do seem limitless.

Sounds like you had a lucky escape mate. Sometimes you can't see the woods for the trees. But your doing all the right things snowy. Some relationships suck. But you'll be alright. Just do right by your daughter that's all that matters. (Which I know you will) stay strong my friend. It may be a Rocky ole ride. 😊

Cheers Doris, nice to have you in my corner.

My friend used to work for the CSA so that’s a useful resource.

My new work partner asked how I met her.
I said I was steaming drunk.
He said that’s one hell of a big hangover mate.

Got my daughter telling jokes now, she makes the punchlines up because she can’t quite grasp it.
Best jokes I’ve ever heard.
Knocks the spots off my beauties

No one is perfect and everyday every person makes mistakes. None of us are immune to it. For me, I have to remind myself not to let the anger consume me because it's like swallowing poison and hoping the other person dies. The only one it really hurts is me. The other thing I've learned from AA that is helpful to me, is always asking myself, "what's my part in this?" That's one that I really like. I am a single dad and have never been happier than I am now, 10 months into my sobriety. Good luck to you and the family.

I can see Diadry now Lorain has gone...

Hawkeye told me to keep calm on my side and reasonable will pay off in many ways.
That resentment thing is lethal, I seem to have found the off switch for it after pushing it away time after time.
Well done on 10 months you are doing great, it only gets better
