when its over (15)
kkitty4u: I just would like some different views on this
OK heres the situation I was in a long term relationship and we have a daughter together and well it has been a bad relationship for a long time and I finally left and it was going OK until one night he showed up and he got violent and hurt me. I pressed charges and now I have so many fears that I cant even think straight sometimes. what would be the best way to explain this to my daughter and how would u handle the situation? would u allow him to see her?
This is what I plan to do have no contact at all what so ever and let him take me to court for visitation rights and then tell the courts my fears and see what they say about the situation

Use a community resouce as a go betwen to monitor visits with his child. Such as DCF or a community program. PLEASE do not use the children as a pawn in a game with the father. Get a restraining order and have his visits with the shild, monitored

i had a friend who had a similar experience and the courts gave him supervised visits and told him to go on an angermanagment course before he was allowed to have unsupervised visits.

First of all i am really sorry...
and i hope the child didnt see him being violent...
Fine if you dont want to see him..
but i think the child should have the right to see her father..
but if he is violent with her..Hell Noooooooooooooo...
Make sure he has supervise visit..
but i hope you dont talk badly about her father...
just try to explain the best way you can and be gentle..
No child likes a parent to talk badly about the other..
All the best hun

awww, sweet innocence hey...........
how will he be with her if you do allow contact and has this made her afraid of him?
I got the list below from;
I think there are American offices of this org too - hope it helps...........
How can I help my children?
Talk openly with them and answer any questions they may have, as honestly as you are able, using words that match their age and stage of development.
Make sure they know the abuse is not their fault.
Teach them abuse is not acceptable.
Help them discuss their feelings. Bottling up their feelings can create additional pressure. Listen to what they have to say and respond with respect and understanding.
Avoid burdening them with adult responsibilities. As much as they may want to help, it is not their job to look after you .
Encourage them to mix with other people. Contact with other people will make your children feel less isolated and boost their confidence. They will also have the opportunity to see other men behaving respectfully towards their partners
Help them to stay safe. Teach them to call 999 and speak to the police so they know how to get emergency help. But warn them that it is dangerous to intervene if you are being attacked. Tell them they are not responsible for protecting you.
Teach them to reach out for help by doing so yourself. Show them that getting help is a positive step and that there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Try to boost their self-esteem by letting them know you love them, praising them and encouraging their interests.
Stay safe Hun...........
