Hi,

Your post isn't pointless at all. We all need a safe space to communicate how we're feeling and what we're going through. Staying or leaving is hard, there are difficulties in both and only you can decide what's right for you and your family unit.
I feel in these situations mothers aren't treated fairly by professionals and this adds to the already overwhelming stress. You could try reaching out to circles south east, they offer a course called breaking the cycle and a capability to protect assessment. They also offer up to 30 hours of counselling for yourself and your OH. These are all free of charge.
In my opinion it is vital that your OH works on himself and can evidence this to the professionals at the meetings. I haven't been on cpp and can supervise contact with our daughter but I also have older children, one adult and one who is 17 they don't have contact and at present don't want a relationship so I can understand the limbo state that you're in. Happy for you to private message me if you'd benefit from that xxx
