Thank you for your wise response to “Conflicted.” ALSO: Your advice to “Conflicted” sets her up for consequences from a court.
Thank you for your wise response to “Conflicted.” I just wanted to add a note: As a victim of abuse when I was a toddler, it was my parents’ inability to say anything negative about my abuser that really distorted my sense of right, wrong and healthy boundaries as I grew up. If a compassionate, present parent could have said, “What he did was wrong and I am going to do what I can to protect you from that,” it would have helped my growing mind.
I was the director of a domestic violence center and later a divorce lawyer for many years. My own ex was violent with me, and I feared that he would be with our children. I had to find creative ways to keep my children safe until they were old enough to make their own decisions about seeing their dads .Thank you for this guidance. This question generated a lot of feedback and the last thing I want to do is steer the letter writer wrong because of laws that are poorly written.
