Will he take my daughter?

I’m a single mom but my ex is trying to take my child away from me. I take good care of my daughter who is now four, but he has terrible jealousy issues and I know he wants her to live with him and his girlfriend. We were together seven years and so I know him very well, and I also know he didn’t take care of our daughter when he was with us. His friends have always been more important than his family. Do you have any advice for me as I’m scared and not sure what to do? Vicky.

Hi Vicky, 'don’t worry' is my first piece of advice. You have to realize that he is trying to do everything that he can to get at you… just because of the way that he is. I am sure that your friends and family have said the same. My instinct here is that you will remain with your daughter and that you do not have anything to worry about but he will try to fight you on this. All you have to do is give love to your daughter and focus on your family. 

I would suggest that you try some visualization techniques such as imagining you and your daughter bonded together and never leaving each other… however that may look to you is the right way to visualize it. You will find that it will help you and settle your mind. Good luck with this. Lisa xx
