Wonderful news today!! My youngest daughter took her 4 kids and moved out of her abusive husbands home and in with her father while she awaits finalization on a town home for them. Its been a long six years, but it looks like she finally has found her strength. She has support from all her family and friends and we will be there for her through it all. She called me in tears yesterday wanting to know if it was true if she took the kids with her he could have her arrested. My first question was are you leaving the state? He answer no, just going to dads until my townhouse comes through. I said no he can't he's using the kids to try to control you. He's got felony records and she has none. I told her the courts side with the mother 99% of the time, and he's got felony's for violation of no contact orders and abuse. No way is the court going to give the kids to him over her when she's the one supporting them and he hasn't had a job in over a year. So put Nancy in your prayer chains that she stays strong through this rough time in her life.
Thanks
Diane
I will be praying for her, specially for safety. She needs to be very careful. Abusiveness often means no control over the persons anger.
I pray she has the strength to stay away from him and he leaves her alone so they can both move on with their lives.
I have been in her situation and it is a very tough and scary thing to do, I hope the whole family gets behind her and there are some strong males in your family who can protect her if she should need it. I had no-one and police were always too slow turning up when I needed them, I had many black eyes and terrifying confrontations, I will pray that she doesn't.
Huge hugs and sincere best wishes for her and the children to have a wonderful future.
