Hello Inkblot,
I can say that one of my abusers I have No choice to be in contact with , He is the father of my youngest... He has since become sober and has done alot of apologies and has realized the nasty things he has said and done he does not remember them all but it has been along time since we were together...
You need to make sure the contact is going to be healthy, For You!!! You need to make sure it is necessary and that you need or want to for what ever the reasons may be for you...
Enough Rattling from me .... Just be Careful !!!! troubled1
