[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No me. Left when the child was 7. The abuse didn't end even though I begged him to stop it. It was extremely hard not to see my child, but I got used to it. I get to see the child about twice a month if I'm lucky when "they have time". [/quote]

how did he get primary custody with abuse?[/quote]

Just fyi a father more likely to get custody if the mother alleges abuse. I don’t know why but it’s actually a bad idea for a woman to mention the abuse, unless, perhaps, it’s incontrovertibly documented over a long period of time. And even then it’s dicey. [/quote]

Any time you allege something that you cannot prove, you lose credibility. And so much of a abuse is psychological and leaves no trace. So much is financial, if one spouse makes all the income. It leaves no trace, unless you can document specific events like one spouse cutting the credit cards of the other, or taking a dependent spouse with no personal income off the joint accounts. As for verbal abuse, unless you can record hundreds of video of swearing, name-calling, below-the-belt accusations - that also, is invisible.

It's sad.[/quote]
