Thank you for your advice. It is all very baffling. I'm doing my best to learn how to detach and I'm getting better. NC is not a problem for me because honestly I'm in actual fear (emotional not physical) anytime I have to communicate with him. Just waiting for the next blow.
Trying very hard to keep it together for our d. I get frustrated when my emotions take over and I'm trying to be a little more forgiving of myself on that. I'm not quite there yet which I think is why I have so many ups and downs.
H still hasn't replied to my boundary setting for visitation with our d. I'm not surprised. He acts like he's 2. Because I don't reply to his texts of "how are you doing" he is now not responding to me. So stupid. His co-parenting leaves a lot to be desired.
