Thank you for commenting. Yes - how do the courts get away with this? Battered - that's the word. They use the children like they were chess pieces - moving and conniving until you're in check mate. Very sad - I can't tell you how I want to run - but where?
It's a living nightmare! Both my son and myself haven't had one days' peace since we left 14 years ago. The man is sick and how he lies manipulates is disgusting!!!
Well tomorrow is my court date - I might retain my attorney but this will be longer than the rest of hearings. My prayers are with you.

15 Years of Abuse - E. Angela by: Disabled Mom
My humble advice is: bail out, go hide. You don't owe anyone anything. You need major time to heal and a new identity. You needed a TRO from the very beginning against that monster. Your ex poisoned your son, just as mine did me. I can't see or talk to my son now...he wants nothing whatsoever to do with me, even when I was homeless and couldn't shower, feed or take care of myself. He blamed his life on me, his father physically abused both of us and lied so beautifully to the court, the police,the attorneys and his minister. They all blamed me. Out of self-respect and self-preservation I ran away. It was the best thing I could do and I haven't regretted one second. I pray for my son every night, still working for forgiving my ex.
