When the Courts Abuse You
Sometimes, the legal process to free yourself from your abuser exposes you to further abuse from the court system.

For me, the abuse perpetrated on me and my kids from the court/legal system was almost worse than the abuse from my abuser. Because of the fact that the court and legal system are allegedly supposed to impose justice and in my presumption should protect victims and defend those who are wronged. Instead, it became yet another tool in my ex's toolbox of things he could use against us to further his right to abuse.
The court system is filled with mandated reporters, and yet not a one of them reported the abuse that my kids reported to them. Doctors did. Teachers/school staff did. But no one within the court system.
