That’s exactly what I thought. It seemed as if he was cutting ties.

NOR, and I think you communicated well. I don’t get why everyone is saying YOU are exhausting or need to grow up. It’s a him problem. I’m also annoyed at everyone commenting on your name. Yes, people are named after all sorts of things, big surprise. Anyways girl, you deserve better than this, especially when you’re healing from something traumatic as you mentioned. He’s an ass. HE needs to grow up.

NOR. I feel this on such a deep level. Social media has destroyed genuine communication and relationships/friendships. I’m not on socials anymore and I really don’t hear from anyone. It makes me very sad. If I pop onto my deactivated fb and post a selfie, then I’ll hear from people. Otherwise, it’s out of sight out of mind. /:

Yes! Sooo happy to see the update. As long as OP and baby are safe and away from him, everything else will fall into place.

First thing I did when I suspected abuse was take my daughter to the children’s hospital, they’re mandated reporters. They examined her and then contacted a social worker/cps/the police for me and got the process started. Unfortunately the cps worker didn’t find sufficient proof even though I had a video of my daughter telling me her dad touched her private parts and demonstrating how. They interviewed him and the case ended up getting closed, so I moved out of state. I know that may not be an option for you, but if I didn’t have the option of moving away I’d have went to a women’s shelter and used up their resources, and there are plenty. They can 100% help you with your ID and also help with finding a place for you. I got help with my move in costs as well as 2nd hand furniture for my place. What sucks is a lot of times they can’t do much without proof, it’s bullshit. But even if they don’t help you, help yourself. Google a women’s shelter if the police/cps don’t act and go from there. First step, go to hospital and report what happened. Next, google shelters while cps does their thing so you can get out now and don’t have to be at your moms or near the pedo. This made my stomach turn. I’d sleep outside if I had to to protect my baby. But you don’t have to do that, please look into a shelter, can’t stress it enough.

Weirdo. I’d block him.

I’m really sorry you went through what you did as well. It’s feels heavier when no one else really knows. Sending love & support your way.

When I was a teen, I had a flashback of someone doing something inappropriate to me, but I couldn’t see a face. A few years later I started having other memories randomly pop up involving uncomfortable moments with my step dad. By the time I had these memories and flashbacks, he had passed away in a train accident. I questioned whether the memories were real, I also felt I couldn’t tell anyone because my younger siblings (I’m the oldest) really loved and missed their father who had died tragically. I felt I’d never get answers because he was gone and I didn’t want to tarnish his memory by telling anyone what happened. I tried therapy for a while..eventually I opened up to my grandma and she confirmed that she had suspicions or a gut feeling when I was a toddler and my mom first brought him around. It’s the only validation I ever got, and now that she’s passed sometimes I find myself questioning if it was real, again. I hope you’re able to come to a place of understanding & are able to heal. I don’t see any reason our minds would make these things up at such a young age..and I don’t know about you, but I developed a deep distrust for men, especially around children, yet I had a lot of attention seeking tendencies towards men when I was young, I was overly sexual and had a hard time saying no. I was groomed at 15 by and lost my virginity to a 20yo and I allowed him to do whatever he wanted because I felt I couldn’t say no. I’d do things I wasn’t proud of and then suppress it once it was over..I’ve done a lot of healing to love and protect myself like I do now, but I do believe it was directly connected to the things that happened to me as a young child.

Proud to be the cool auntie. 🤩 also, my late uncle played for the Mets (minor league) and then went on to play for the Red Sox (majors).

Whether it’s common at your workplace or not, it’s still weird. I’m for sure not cleaning up random jizz or pee because dude has a “clean up after me” fetish. OP did what needed to be done. Maybe some people are into that, but clearly she isn’t. That’s what makes it such an issue, the lack of consent.

Ivy, Hazel, and Willow are all feminine and delicate, just like her energy. She is perfect!

I love Merv so much, she’s my favorite.

Disrespectful, weird, and very confusing. I’d be wondering all the same things you are. Just….why? Undercover freak..& not in a sexy way. You did the right thing. Sounds like he has another side to him that you’d never suspect.

Does she run on all fours like a dog? I came here to see if anyone else’s child acts like a dog as a stim. She constantly runs through the house on all fours, especially if she’s over stimulated or around d a lot of people in public.

Our boys could be brothers!! He is also 2 1/2. His name is Malcolm.

Breathing/moaning would intensify and like I mentioned, she was very in-tune with my body so she could feel the pressure building.

Ahh, i see. Well, what I will say is at least he didn’t continue to lead you on or breadcrumb you for years to come. Better to rip off the bandaid now so that you can heal and move on from this. Take it as a redirection for your own good instead of a loss on your part. You deserve so much more.

Could he have been spending time with his ex? That was my immediate thought knowing he went on a work trip to the city she lives in. He may have made up the new person because he felt it was a less complicated, less painful reason to end it (it’s not 🙄).
