[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP that said I'm in a similar situation -
Would you feel the same way about divorce if you knew the 50% of time the kids are with the other parent they may be getting belittled and verbally abused? Serious question. I don't want to take away their dad and fight for more custody but feel like I can somewhat shield them from abuse if I'm present. Or at least stop it while it's happening to them (even though that then turns into being accused of undermining). [/quote]

I might gently offer that you are seeing the situation from your adult perspective and not really understanding how your children experience it.  I would also offer that you seem conflicted about what is going on.  You do not want to take away your children's time from their Dad.  But in the same breath, you seem to imply that time with their Dad will come with more abuse if you are not present?      So if Dad's custody time is filled with abuse, why wouldn't you fight to limit it?  Although I have written earlier, as the kid who lived through this, I am not writing to suggest a particular outcome, but merely to note that you thinking on this issue may not yet be clear.[/quote]
