[quote=Anonymous]My sister left her abusive husband over five years ago. Their youngest is just now 11. He got 50/50 custody despite a domestic violence conviction for what he did one night to my sister. He was physically avusive to the eldest child but not prosecuted for it. He continues to be mentally and emotionally abusive to his children. He also just the other day "shoved" his nearly 18 year old during a disagreement. This was in public!  If she was 18 she could charge him with assault. But as his minor child, apparently it's all hunky dory for him to do that to her. 
He continues to harass my sister, calling when he shouldn't, multiple angry texts practically daily. Drives by her work constantly when he has no reason to be anywhere near it. Shows up early for visitation, returns the kids late.

I know my sister is terrified every single time he has the kids that he won't bring them back, or will harm them. The oldest begged not to be required to go on visitation but the judge would not let her have a choice.

No, I don't judge those who stay. I know why my sister stayed as long as she did-in some ways things are worse now. More volatile, and he gets to take her kids and do whatever and she can't stop him or be there to protect them. It's awful. [/quote]
