DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though I have reported my ex to the police, he has got away with abusing me.
I am slowly pulling myself together after dealing with the emotional, sexual and financial abuse he put me through, but it is really tough.
I am 37, he is 41 and we were together for 15 years.
He is taking me to court for access to our daughter, though she keeps saying that he hurt her.
She no longer wants to see him. She is 12.

Their relationship has declined dramatically.
I have low self-esteem and worry I am doing things wrong. I feel so on edge.
