I just need advise on how to deal with my separation anxiety from my BD. Her father and I had a very bad break up/ relationship. he was very violent and abusive. I am so protective of BD because she was exposed to so much for the first part of her life and once I got away I just vowed he would never hurt her. So I was able to keep him on supervised visits for about 2 years (8 months of which he opted to just not visit her) that was fine by me. At least I knew she was safe. He's supposedly cleaned up his act.
