Hard as it feels my advice would be to Walk away
He has put the drink and drugs before both of you
It won’t change
Protect you and your daughter from anymore harm ,chaos and abuse.
You can build a better life without feeling scared and broken down
It may not feel like it now but you can make a Choice your Choice for something better
A man should cherish what he has
It’s not your fault
Social services will record it and investigate the circumstances
They probably won’t intervene Unless he is using drugs around her or there is an incident of direct violence or drug use with police intervention
The fact that there is the possibility is enough reason
Don’t put her through this let her life be free of it and any stigmas it might bring
You say he doesn’t direct violence at your daughter but she is witnessing it and that will become more damaging
I felt reading your post you were looking for reassurance that it’s not right; what is happening to you, and no it’s not on so many levels
You are hiding what is really going on because you know it’s wrong
You should be celebrating life and your daughter but at the moment you are under a lot of stress and pressure and that clouds our true judgements
Your daughter will become your best friend – hold that protect that relationship it’s for life and the most precious thing you will ever have
She will grow up respecting your strength because she already is and always will be the centre of your world
Dig deep you are strong I can see that from your words
