Two weeks no contact with my avoidant ex-husband. We share a 6 month old daughter, and he has abandoned her again for the second time since her birth. He is financially stable yet chooses not to contribute.
He returned to the U.S. while I’m raising our daughter in Canada, carrying all the responsibility and stress alone. I’ve chosen no contact because it’s not healthy for our daughter. Inconsistency, absence, and emotional unpredictability aren’t things a child should grow up navigating. I don’t want his help anymore, I want peace.
I want to heal, move forward, and build a stable, calm life for my daughter and myself. No contact isn’t punishment. It’s protection. And this time, it’s for life.

how are you holding up day-to-day? it must be exhausting managing everything solo… are you getting any support at all?
My mom’s been my rock through all of this. It’s not easy, but I trust that this is something future me and my daughter will be grateful for. Therapy + workouts are keeping me sane.
sticking to no contact is HARD but what you’re doing for your daughter (and yourself) is right. stability now > temporary guilt or conflict later. you got this
Thank you so much! That reminder means a lot. Stability over chaos is exactly the goal, for her and for me.
my ex was like this too… i spent months picking up all the pieces alone. choosing peace over chaos saved me
I’m glad you found your way to peace. That gives me hope.
