I’d love to see a section for this all on its own as it’s hug.
MNHQ?
There’s snippets all over the forums but I really feel there’s a massive need for a section all to itself.
When I do a search some of the threads are moths/ years out of date.

If someone had told me that courts force children of mothers who have escaped DV to have unsupervised contact with the abusive father I would not have believed it but now I know different.
Someone very close to me has not only had to allow contact, he’s also managed to get full residency of the children.

It’s truly heartbreaking. We spent time together yesterday and seeing her without her beloved children breaks my heart.

There are lots of groups of fb for you.

Did you know that there is such a groundswell of outrage from the angry/sad/ anxious and depressed mothers that they are hoping to band together to try to elicit change.

There to be a judicial review in about two months but there are deep fears that it will not go far enough.

One mother is trying to drum up support to get this in the public eye. To keep it in the public eye.
She wants your stories even if they are anonymous

There’s a tv channel chomping at the bit to report more on this.

Did anyone watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme about 4 weeks ago on this issue.

Did anyone see the mother whose husband lured the two inspecting sons into the loft and set fire to the house killing them all. How the mother told the story I don’t know.

Louise haigh has raised this in Parliament.
There are other good people out there doing their best but they need your support.
They need you to tell their stories.

My loved one is accused of being emotionally abusive. No she is fighting against a system to protect two lovely children from an abusive dad.

She is now being threatened to only see them 6 times a year ...the mother who has raised them for the last 5-6 years.

Look on fb for mothers unite.
See you there.
