I'm feeling very alone and have no one to talk to. My 9-year-old daughter's father told her that she can't message me after the weekend when she goes back to his house. " You just saw her for the weekend", he says to her. Our situation is very hard on her right now, on all of us. When I left my abusive ex (not her father) I had to stay at a shelter and then moved into transitional housing until I can find a place of our own again. But there isn't enough space here for me and my two children and my grandson who is now in my care. My two kids have to stay with their dad during the week because it's closer to their school. It's not our usual routine and it's throwing us all for a loop. It's so hard being away from my kids, on top of trying to piece my life back together. I try to be strong for her but I'm losing it. Now when he tells her things like she can't message me, or she can't video call me, it breaks my heart and causes more conflict between him and I. He's not much better to deal with than my ex, not the greatest co-parent and not a compassionate or understanding guy. He doesn't care for my situation and shows our kids exactly how he feels about me. I don't know how much more of this I can take

Ur name is really pretty โค๏ธ and your a strong mama. You got this. God breaks us before he builds us up and I believe that things will get better bc God is good. Things will get easier I promise

I'm so sorry it's been so tough. ๐๐ When I look at your profile, I get the strongest intuitive sense of your strength and integrity as a mama. I somehow just fully trust that things are all working out for you even though right now, it looks and feels like adversity. I feel for you so much but I trust this is the upheaval needed for truer, positive change.
But none of that is to invalidate how incredibly difficult it is for you right now and I'm sending lots of love, fortitude and sisterhood your way. Many blessings to you as you navigate this difficult chapter so that you come through stronger, wiser, and a thousand times more happy. ๐๐โจ๏ธ You got this x
