Taking action

Today I went and talked with my Thearpist. Discussed a evaluation that was presented to her and she gave me a overview of what was expected of me. Proud to say that majority of the recommendations had already been completed or are still being done. Unfortunately, one of the recommendations that were mentioned was to join a domestic violence group. It took many years to grow and be able to look past the things my ex did to me. This was the only way I felt like I could at least try to coparent. Even then, I didn’t have to do that because he choose not to have anything to do with our children. I did as recommended but honestly this is a dark place I don’t want to enter back into. Although, it’s probably a reason why my relationship with others are up and down. I trust no one. I feel like I’m never good enough. I have built up so much since than but obviously it’s also a problem on how I react to my kids behaviors. As a mother, I want to do what’s best my kids but as a human I’m tired of having to relive my past. How do I move forward

It’s so great that you’re working with a therapist.

I too have children who were abandoned by an ex (Husband) & DV was involved.

& having to relive your past is excruciating & unfair.

You sound like a strong woman.

It looks like you’re moving forward all ready 🙂
