Sorry. I know I sound frustrated. I just am. Feel trapped.
It’s completely understandable to feel frustrated in this situation. Supervised contact can be difficult, particularly when you want to be more involved in your child’s life. That said, if that's all you are being offered then, if you can, do take it. Your presence still makes a real difference. Turning up consistently, even in a limited capacity, shows your commitment and care. You are not alone. Many fathers have faced similar challenges and found ways to stay connected. I hope some of them may come on here now and support you.
I hope so too.
I just don't understand how things like this can be allowed to happen. It makes me want to just stop trying. I don't want to be around her abuse. I just want to see my boy.
