Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

Just want to make sure what you say in here doesn't come back in any way. Would it be perhaps a good thing to make this thread members only?

From a safety point of view I can understand that idea Bruce, but I think if it became only available to members it might stop others (who might come on just as guests ) maybe too scared to post but gain a lot from reading people's posts and advice.

That's just my penny's worth though mate, the more people it's open to the better.

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you are okay @Twinkletoes123 x

Thank you for all the lovely replies, it’s nice to unload myself at times as I am so isolated from everyone. You have all been really supportive and you have no idea how this forum has been a godsend in my most darkest times. I don’t tend to post as much as I would like as I get terrible brain fog and can’t get my feelings or thoughts across very well.
I really do appreciate you lovely people and do wish you from the bottom of my heart a Merry Christmas xx

Christ. Sick to my stomach reading your initial post.

I hope the two of you make what you can of today under the shadow of this scumbag.

I can’t imagine how hard it was to speak up, even anonymously on here; just make sure that’s the first step in binning him off for good.

Fingers crossed for you
 
As an update, I have been chatting with a poster, and many posts have been deleted, with their permission, that might have been unwise, from a safety point of view. For the poster. We, as a forum have little legal recourse in stuff, (poor as a church mouse), but we will do our best to protect posters who may, or may not, post stuff and details that my be dangerous.

Hey get your feelings out whenever and wherever you can. Anyone who doesn't listen doesnt care isn't worth the time. Anyone who speaks to a child like that I'm sorry to say needs removing from her life it's vile to an adult female let alone a kid. As someone who has suggested domestic mental abuse I can tell you now it's better without them even if it hurts at first because you will get your self worth back and you are both worth it. That type of abuse gradually wears you down and it will your daughter too.I was left with nothing, no job, no cash and I picked myself up. It can be done nobody deserves that my love. I'm sorry you have experienced this but you are both worth so so much more. I wish you all the best and if I can help in any way please feel free to message me. Best of luck and remember you're worth more xx

Just read your posts. Absolutely horrified by your husband's behaviour towards you and your daughter. Always here for a chat if you want to unload. I'm so glad you are taking action to get out. Much love x

Like everyone else I'm absolutely horrified by the situation you find yourself in, I wish you all the luck in the world resolving it in the best possible way, no one deserves what you are going through.

I hope you and your daughter have as good as Christmas as you can and have a much better 2022. You probably already acutely aware but one thing I would advise if your partner is volatile and could become violent is to not rock the boat (or at least appear to him to be), get the separation sorted with any authorities you need to first and then when it comes to executing that plan you have people around you or nearby when you do inform him.
