[QUOTE="Andy, post: 147838, member: 5096"] By restricting S2BX contact with difficult child, you are teaching her that she does not have to deal with abusive people. You have recognized the inappropriate behavior he has with you and you are stopping it. You are showing difficult child that no one has to live under those circumstances. There is no excuse or reason to allow that to continue. I have a sister whose husband started abusing her within a few days of the wedding, I was so proud that she left immediately and divorced. Making breaks in relationships are always extremely hard no matter what the reason is. You are still going from what is the norm, what is known, to the unknown - scary. However, when the norm is not safe, you have to do this. Stay strong. Tell yourself, how long will it be until S2BX starts verbally abusing my difficult child? For now difficult child does not want to change the norm - it is too scary to face the unknown but some day she will understand. [/QUOTE]
