@Fightingback  I’m so sorry to hear about all you’ve been through in terms of the domestic violence and damage to your relationship with your daughter. It must have been incredibly hard, and I’m in awe of your strength and your desire to protect your child. It must have been very stressful to be served a recovery order as a result of trying to keep your daughter safe; sadly this isn’t an uncommon situation.   Can I ask if you are linked in with a specialist domestic violence service or caseworker? If not, I would highly recommend trying to link in with one in your local area as they will be able to offer advice and support that is specific to where you live. If you need help to find an appropriate service, 1800 RESPECT, Safesteps or the DV Resource Centre should be able to help with advice.   Unfortunately we aren’t able to offer legal advice, but have you tried contacting services such as the Family Advocacy and Support Service, Women’s Legal Service or a Community Legal Centre? These services should be able to help with advice on ways forward for you in terms of accessing legal support.   I’m so glad you reached out here on the forums – this is a safe space for you to share your worries so please feel free to post here any time. Do you have anyone close to you who you can lean on for support right now as well? Thinking of you and wishing you all the best through this very stressful time. ... View more
