hi its on edge

mrssmith

Hi Keira,such a shame ur so far away,like you I take each day as it comes,this wont last for ever,I was in a violent relationship 22 years ago and I had to run away n stay with people from work but I didn't have kids then,I got rid of him eventually but he got away with alot,they scare you into not speaking up,things are amicable between my babys dad and I for the mo and he has him till Saturday,It will just be a matter of handing baby over n not getting into anything with him,but life is lonely when you got kids ,I like you have to accept it's over n no good and I know what u mean about wasting years with them,it's heartbreaking,if u ever want my number just ask xx

Hi kiera and marianne42. We're not permitted to put numbers or e.mail addresses on this site. Thought I should mention it, as Louise, Anna, nor Sally are on line. It's to protect everyone, but one of the moderators will explain in more detail I'm sure.

Hi kiera

How are you doing this morning? Are you going to ring the police and get things in motion?

Yes I am sorry we cannot publish peoples' phone numbers on here, it is because it is a public domain so the number would be read not only by the person you want to give it to but by everyone. You have enough hassle with phone calls already so we would not want your number to get into other hands too. That's why we also ask people not use real names, for privacy

Hi keira well done you for putting the phone down and staying strong about not having contact, can you unplug the house phone again, has the solicitor got your mobile number to contact you! 

It is understandable that you paniced when you heard that message, this is the result of his abusive behaviour and keeping you uncertain of what he will do next, it will take time before that improves, and as some on here will tell you that initial reaction never totally goes away. 

Oh and well done for going to the solicitors, thats another step forward keira, do you have plans for the Jubilee weekend?

Posted on: June 1, 2012 - 12:35pm

hi i dont av plans, my daughter not well either, my 2 boys goin pics and sumat eat wiv nana lata, il prob go my mates wiv kids, ive unplugged fone, just use my mobile, ex left message wiv him breathin on it for bout 3 mins, wierd, stil part of me on edge, cant elp it, sum1 fromwave said freedum programe in my area and i shud do itx

There is lots of chance that you will meet a decent bloke next time, keira and EVEN MORE chance if you continue as you have been doing, increasing your confidence!

The Freedom Programme course is excellent because it helps you identify good and bad charcteristics, remember yesterday when we were talking about love and what it was, well it builds on that and helps you feel stronger to go forward. Did the woman from Wave say when the course near you would start?

Hi Keira,

I havent read your posts in a little while but just read them and have to say WELL DONE!!! I can see in the couple of weeks I havent been reading a lot has changed in you. You called police on ex, you saw solicitor and after his message instead of getting yourself in to a state you made the step to give his address your solicitor - that is a massive achievement.

You will have days where you will feel panicky and on edge and that is the anxiety. I am still suffering anxiety 6 years after leaving my ex! If your not already, then go and see your GP for something to calm you down, it will really help you to see things more clearly. If I wouldnt have done that I dont think I would have got through the last 5 years x Good luck

HI I FEEL SO DOWN TODAY, i shyd go gps i no, i never go, my soliciter as sent warning letter to my ex, he wil get it tomoz, so why am i nervvous bout wot his reaction wil b, im scared to b honest, letter says stay away from my area and my house and dont txt or ring or court action and if he wants c his daughter c a soliciter, wot if he turns up at sum point , wot if im not quick enuff to get my fone out and ring police, ive been dead paranoidx

Hi kiera, it is completely normal and understandable for you to feel more scared at this point because you know what he is capable of and you also know that he is not going to like the letter. I remember feeling exactly the same way.

This weekend just be on guard, you have to do everything to protect yourself. Keep your phone in your pocket or in your hand. Are you going to stay at your friends tonight? Remember that if you do feel particularly scared you can call the Domestic Abuse Hotline 0808 200 247 and perhaps go and stay in a refuge over the bank holiday.

Now is the time to use all the help you can get, gp, police, solicitors, womens aid and childrens centre.

Can I just say from me to you, briliant well done for finding the strength to go back to the solicitor and get that letter sent, it took a lot of courage and right now it might feel all wrong and confusing, but it is one of the best things you have done. So high 5 from me.

aw thanks hun, feel like cryin yet all last weekend i seemed ok and even my 18 year old daughter said i luked happy, yet when i heard tht message yest ive gon bk to feeling down and anxiousx

Of course you will sweetie - it really is 2 steps forward one step back. You have been strong and then you were knocked back by the solicitors, you have made another step but then you heard his voice and his threats - horrible. Anyone threatening you is horrible let alone the father of your baby and soemone who you care deeply for.

Just be kind to yourself, tell yourself it is ok that I feel down, it is normal and this will pass.

Posted on: June 1, 2012 - 6:01pm

kiera

but his message wasnt threatening just way he says it, and normaly he always rings off witheld alltime yet today strange he is ringin off his mobile number, is tht anova 1 of his games

Posted on: June 1, 2012 - 6:05pm

Louise
Parenting specialist DoppleMe

He does seem to have a lot of games he plays, kiera, and even though he did not say anything threatenting in the message, you felt unsettled, because he mentioned your daughter.

How are you this morning?

Hi kiera yes part time does sound like a better option, if you could manage 16 hours a week then you could be on Working Tax Credit and still get some help towards the rent although you would have to pay some of it, I guess you were in that situation before, when your mum and dad were well. Sorry to hear your mum has had to go in hospital.

Hope you have a good time with your friends tomorrow Wink...and that you will get  a better night's sleep in the meantime!

Hi Marianne, sorry the anti anxiety meds not worked. I have had valium and sleeping pills in the past but I dont think they any good as they only work in short term and are addictive. I had Beta Blockers for anxiety and they were great (cant take them now because of Asthma). Anti depressants are more complicated coz they can take ages to work and you may have to try a few before you find the one best for you. Your right the problem doesnt go away, but the problem isnt going to go away whether you have meds or not. I found having something to calm me down enabled me to not let my ex get to me so much. Plus for me my anxiety/fear got so bad I was developing OCD and jumping at every noise etc but when the meds kicked in I could see more clearly just how my ex was trying to terrorise me and I felt better able to deal with it.

Having said that meds might not be for everyone. I hope you do find a succesful way of managing your anxiety as I know first hand just how awful it is x good luck x
