Unsupportive family
Notifications OFF
Had my dad on the phone today, because my mother's been gossiping all round town. Long story short with my dad threatening him if he ever goes to my hometown again.
So by extension me and my kids arent welcome home, because I have chosen to support him. "How can you say he's a good dad when he's a p......".
I'm tired. I'm so damn tired of it. Doesn't seem to matter what explanation I provide.
Sorry, I just needed somewhere to vent.
Edit to add:
i have finally felt positive about the situation the last few weeks. Made progress with social services, finally finished the legal process, and started to rebuild my life. My kids are happy healthy and thriving. I was proud of myself.
Then my family decide to make my life difficult cause i guess ive not faced enough.

I'm so sorry. Especially when you're having a good week; it still baffles me that our families can't take a moment to think about what they say and how it will impact us- like we haven't been through enough.
I had some good advice from an unexpected source this week where I was told that there will always be people who judge your relationship but that they will never truly understand what got you there and what kept you there. She said that we just have to do what makes us happy and only we really know what that is.
It is easier said than done though- I hope that my family and friends (when they find out) can be that generous or at least hold their judgement.
