I think you're supposed to act angry, based on what he's doing, and pick up your beautiful DD and leave him to his pubs and selfishness and poo-headedness ...

But I know it might not feel (or be) that simple for you ...

So I send you big cyber hugs and tell you that you are better than he is making you feel.

You are stronger than you think, and you are the most important, vital and strongest voice in Sophie's little world right now.

I would seek out options like church groups and other community organisations who could maybe set you up with another single mum who you can share a home with, while you're getting yourself back on your feet.

Staying with your EF sounds like a toxic mix, and I can't imagine time will make it any easier - because either he or you might get a new significant other, and either well, it's not likely to end well for you or for Sophie ...

I really that you get the space and time you need to heal, and to get Sophie's world back together asap xoxo
