All of this is so raw and real. I get it, lived part of it. 7 yrs after I escaped, went into hiding 2 thousand miles away, he found us. Kids are in 20s now, every day worried, terrorized. Fucking useless courts and social systems. Sorry you’re in the hell, sending virtual support 💜

Oh wow I can’t comprehend how many people I’ve met have gone into hiding and got caught. It’s brutal. I’m so sorry for your situation too xx

I feel like we should start a thread of the things no one told us about family court. A lot of this resonates.

This is heartbreaking to read. You deserve so much better than what the system gave you. Your strength is undeniable, even when the world failed you. I’m so sorry you went through all of this — your voice matters. ❤️

The worst part is the attempt by the courts and their enablers to break the mother/ child bond. Its recognised universally this bond but in family courts it becomes mandated to break it.

They see it as threatening and creepy and so try and replicate the relationship children have with men - less trust. Less honesty. More distance. Fear.
