      Thank you Lisa.
      It’s a terrible life sentence family court have lumbered me with, but today I’ve made it. I’m still alive I’m still here.
      I shouldn’t have to go through any of it. But it is what it is. Last night I was sobbing and sobbing like a baby on the floor.
      But to family court none of this matters. My feelings don’t matter. They’re all about giving perpetrators all the access they need to carry on their abuse.
      I’m sorry to sound negative, but I am literally living in a hell which I made the effort to escape. All thanks to them.

      Thank you. I’m glad I made it through last night.
      With the abuse still ongoing from him, sometimes I just can’t stand it anymore. Most of the time I manage to block it out. I’ve told the police but even they can’t do anything to change the court order.
      So I’m stuck with being punished with being abused for life. It makes me feel so defeated knowing I got out, I was free, then idiot family court decided that I have to have this perpetrator in my life all over again.
      As long as they are making such stupid decisions there’s no hope.

      Yes unfortunately they never give up trying to maintain control.
      You just have to try to ignore his tactics as much as possible.
      As you said, you know the truth of what’s going on so if anyone challenges your decisions just tell them there’s two sides to every story and leave it at that.
      Domestic abuse gets so much media coverage now that they’d have to be living under a rock not to have some kind of awareness of dv. If they’re so silly to believe his lies without asking questions then that’s their problem not yours.

      Isn’t it weird how they all do the same thing? And then they think we won’t know. Knowledge is power. If there’s one thing that’s come out of my suffering its the empowerment I feel from knowing all these truths.
      Thank you for sharing this.
