I have been divorced for over 7 years. My ex and I divorced because of his emotional abuse. He always made me feel as though I was not good enough, worthless. I tried lying to him in hopes that I would give him the answers he wanted and be the woman he wanted me to be. When that didn't work, he thought even less of me. It was a horrible way to live. We have an 11 year old daughter and it's been a constant struggle to protect her from his emotional abuse. She now feels as though her Dad doesn't love her because he is so critical of her every move. She tries to be what he wants her to be in hopes that he will love her unconditionally. She feel anxious all the time and worries about what he will say or do since his reactions always make her feel worthless. I was forced to file an order of protection against him to protect our child but this has been going on for years and i don't know how to stop it. we have counselled, done mediation, and many other things. Please help me find an answer to protect my daughter. I don't want to her grow up thinking she's worthless and unloved.
