I was in a toxic on‑and‑off relationship with my child’s father. Right now I’m 4 days free from him. Still he manages to trigger me whenever he texts. We spent a few days together last week and now he’s messaging me saying things like Don’t call me I’m with someone and this morning You don’t even have to pray for me. I don’t want you I’ve got someone.
In the past I would have shown up at his house crying and begging him to change and choose me. But I’m trying to break that cycle. He uses fentanyl and if he’s with someone else I know it’s not anything healthy.
What hurts the most is the way he speaks to me knowing we share a child together.
