I started seeing someone 6 months ago. She told me about legal cases in connection with a divorce and custody cases involving two of her children. I was hesitant to get into a relationship with her as I had just come out of 20 year controlling marriage. Still - did not listen to that inner voice and now I am deeply involved in her seemingly insurmountable legal problems.
I have lost confidence in the family court, police and social services. They have been duped 100%. Their gullibility is just unbelievable.
I don't want this thread to be about me moaning but I thought maybe someone might have some advice that may help in some way.
She does not deserve any of this. She is a sweet and kind person who has two controlling abusive ex partners who have totally conned the courts and social services. I have been spending weekends with her and her daughter (under 10) for 6 months and she is an amazing parent. Has an even temper and is fine - until she is being harassed by agencies of state who her ex partners are using to continue control and harassment. She has done some irrational things - never mistreatment of her children - which they have provoked by abusive actions and then used this as evidence she is not a fit mother.
I can get into legal specifics about where we are. There is a proof hearing imminent. Her lawyer seems to be working for them at times.
I asked social services to look at this case and have been accused by them of threatening them. That's not true. I only acquainted them with certain facts they have ignored or are simply disregarding.
I feel like I am getting drawn into this and often think of leaving the relationship but my conscience would not allow me. She is on her own with all this.
OK sorry I can't write more at the moment but will get some thoughts together for some actual questions. Thanks for reading.
