As some of you may know, I have a 4 yr old daughter (Geena, look at sig for pictures) and if you read this post I made a while ago you already know about my ex boyfriend, Tom.
I couldn't really get advice from my friends, because they got really weird on the subject and weren't much help, but I figured since you guys don't really know me, it'd be easier for you to say what you think. I followed your responses about my problem with Tom (I left him), and ever since then, now he wants to see his daughter, Geena. I'm really scared to see him again, because every time we do talk it turns into an arguement and I end up crying and Tom manages to revert back to his old self and he hits me. A week ago, Geena asked me "Why does Daddy hurt you?" and I really didn't know what to say. I don't want Geena to see this stuff, especially at such a young age, but last night Tom and I got into a fight on the phone, and he thinks he should see his daughter. (BTW he's 24). Of course I don't trust him and Geena alone, I'm afraid he'll hurt her, but I don't want to see Tom again. Do you think he has a right to see his daughter? I mean, he did pay for a lot of her necessities when I was pregnant and when she was just born... Sorry if this is too long. I just wanted an opinion/some advice. ![]() EDIT // I didn't think this should be in relationships, since it's about Geena's sake. |

i grew up watching my father continuously hit and abuse my mother. it left me traumatized...i suggest getting a restraining order, or request for supervised visitation (someone will watch geena and her father to make sure nothing happens. btw, i can't get over how cute she is! but don't ever let her get caught between the physical abuse. this coming from a person who suffered it for 10 years..

Same thing happened with my sister and I. We had to deal with mental abuse as well as having to watch our mother be physically abused by our father for 19 years. My mother got a restraining order against him and I suggest you do the same thing. Go to the courts and tell them that you fear the life of yourself as well as the safety of your child. They do not mess around with that type of stuff. Good luck I hope everything works out for you both! And your daughter is absolutley beautiful btw ![]() |
