My Story – Korinna

I left my abuser after enduring lots of emotional abuse and he blasted an AK47 nearby my head. Filed a restraining order and moved back home with my children. I have PTSD. Now we’re coparenting and he yells at me in front of the children. Which makes coparenting very difficult, (it’s still emotional abuse and it affects the children negatively.) I don’t feel safe at all around him but am forced to be because of shared parenting.
