Earlybird Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I have been very clear in my mind, since the moment I saw my daughter on the ultrasound, that I had to get out of the abusive relationship I'm in and run for cover but, living in Brazil, it has taken me nearly 4 years to work out where to run to. In fact I still don't know what to do. He has filed for divorce now, we've both got lawyers working on it, had a couple of hearings and got more coming up. Got a protection order but he's contested it. I haven't posted on Loveshack for a while because when he kicked me out of our home I didn't have internet for several months. At least I have internet now...until the bill comes at the end of the month... Today is a sad day because my Kiwi friend, who also has a little girl with a Brazilian father, and was in a similar situation as me, last night told me she's going back to New Zealand. Before their relationship turned sour, she got her husband to sign for her to have a 2 year passport liberating her to take their daughter whenever she wants. Ever since I realised there existed such a thing, I have been filling out the forms every three months, and they sit there on the table, with a pen, waiting for the right moment to convince my husband to sign. I'm really happy and relieved for my friend, but I now feel really alone and trapped. My husband knows that my mum has a progressive illness and that our daughter will probably never get to hug her grandmother again if he carries on any longer. My mum's already unable to speak. I know there are other mums out there in my position, but don't know how to reach them. Maybe it would help with the loneliness if I could talk to someone. My daughter's with her dad now until Wednesday.
DreamP Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I am sorry to hear about your situation. I don't have much advice but to keep hanging in there. 1
