He assaulted me so I left him. He's shown no interest in my daughters needs. He is entirely focused on emotionally abusing and being controlling using my baby as a weapon.

My gorgeous baby girl is a week old and she’s so restless at night. She goes 3-4 hours between feeds in the day and we can put her down in the pram to sleep but at night she refuses to be put down.

I’m desperate. I’ve made police reports a...
