Define abuse. My friend went thru a divorce a few years back. His x claimed verbal and mental abuse. Complained about her cooking = verbal. Called her fat= verbal and mental. It stuck and he got creamed. 8yo hiding under a table because 2 drunk guys are fighting over the last beer = nothing? Thats a nice double standard. My X won't agree to therapy so that is an issue that I have to present to the Judge,among other things.
My oldest always has his phone on and if things get bad he has detailed instructions on what to do. I find it rather disturbing that in the best interest of the children that they have to live in fear just so they don't have to change schools. Changing schools in my state is very damamging to a child, but dodging drunks isn't. I wouldn't believe anyone who told me this if I wasn't living it. All true and very sad. It's maddening that I have to give my children instructions on how to escape to safety and that qualifies for nothing. Wonderfull.
