I can’t sleep or stop crying, so...

My partner does not always behave appropriately towards our daughter, like earlier in the week he pushed her because she wasn’t walking quickly enough. She wasn’t harmed and did not fall over, but still bad.

Anyway, I’ve phoned and emailed children’s safeguarding services myself, as well as other agencies, and I’ve always been told that my situation is not a concern of immediate risk. But, today my therapist phones on my behalf and they want a referral. I now feel that the situation has been completely taken out of my hands. I have no idea what will happen once the referral has been submitted.

And I’m not sure I want to continue with my therapist. I know she did what she had to do and I’m not challenging that, but now she’s not external to everything, she’s involved. Perhaps this feeling will change with time? But, I’m sure if I can be completely open with her now. Does that make any sense? I’m not sure it does. Am I just directling my feelings about the situation towards her?
