Jenny, I haven’t much time to write just now, but when I read that you child is going on visits to her dad, where her most basic needs are being neglected, it strikes me as being tantamount to child neglect. No child should be exposed to such an unsettling environment. She deserves better. Her dad seems irresponsible right now.
Gambling, as I recall is just one of your “Ex’s” problems.
Have you considered contacting the Social Services? If you are referred through them, legal aid should be free.
You are coping very well, Jenny.
Keep posting. I think of you a lot. X
