It's done. in Since OD is shutting down....

I got my daughter to school and then went and filed. I was told it can take a day or two for the judge to sign it. I didn’t add my daughter to it because I feel that he can figure out that on his own. I just want to feel safe from him.

It’s just insane how someone doesn’t care about their child for months at a time and then shows up at random. I was made to feel that whether he got to see her or not, that I was going to be stuck with giving explanations and there’s a lot of control on his end. He knew that shit had to be embarrassing for me but he didn’t care. He had no way of knowing I worked there but whether I did or not, I don’t want to worry about him coming back and creating issues again.

I just don’t want to feel like I’m under someone’s abuse and control. Again, I don’t bother him or anyone who even knows him. I don’t ask for his involvement. I don’t ask for money. All I want is peace. I’d be happy to never see or speak to this person ever again.

All I can think about is how my daughter and I have learned to not expect anything from him but it’s okay for him to expect to see her. I also don’t understand how CS has become an optional thing too. I just hope that with a PO that he’s going to understand that he’s not going to have any access to me whatsoever.
