Hey everyone, I’m really struggling with co-parenting my daughter with my ex-husband. He was abusive throughout our relationship, and even though we’ve been to court several times, I feel stuck. Anyone have experience with this? I could really use some advice.

I feel for you. Have you looked into parallel parenting? A lot of people on YouTube share some useful strategies.

Wow, has he gotten rid of that dog? That’s scary what happened to your daughter.

No, he still has the dog. I’m really worried about her safety around it.

You really need a lawyer with experience in domestic violence cases. I wish I had done that sooner.

I’ve been thinking about it. My current lawyer hasn’t been very helpful.

You deserve someone who fights for you. Don’t hold back on getting help.

Definitely get everything documented! And try to have all communication through an approved app.

That’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought about using an app for that.

You may want to reinstate that restraining order. Document everything and report any violations.

I’m worried he’ll retaliate if I do that. But I know I need to protect my daughter.

It’s better to be safe than sorry. You have to put your daughter first.
