I get that. It will be important for you with your little one to figure out how to co-parent and realistic boundaries are going to be critical to that.

I kind of feel like I've been obliterated, erased. I feel as if this is a way to say "I am a person, too, and I am NOT going to have my feelings and experience denied. I have feelings, too."


I understand that too - only you and and I also know that it's none of anyone elses business how we feel - and as long as you know that your experiences and feelings have happened, have near wiped you out(!) have taught you stuff, have led to making you the you that you are now ... they can never be denied.

In terms of being erased/obliterated? Get out of town! You are one of the least obliterated people I've ever typed to. Don't give him that power over you.
