| Women are leaving their husbands and find themselves in a legal battle to keep custody of their children. These mother's have no idea that their lives will be turned upside down, trying to get away from an unloving man. Child protective services are removing children from mothers when the father is not involved in the child/children's life. |

Abused Swan
| Mothers going through this situation feel as if they are alone. There are no support groups and very few counselors are educated on how the system works in favor the abuser. Out of all divorces, 80% are uncontested custody cases, and the mother is the primary care giver to the children. Those 20% that are contested cases, the abusive father will gain custody 72% of the time. "Studies show batterers are able to convince authorities that the victim is unfit or undeserving of sole custody in approximately 70% of challenged cases." (American Judges Association) (Custody Preparations for Moms Organization, 2006) "Fathers who batter mothers are two times more likely to seek sole physical custody of their children than are nonviolent fathers." (APA 1996, P, 40) (Custody Preparations for Moms Organization, 2006) |

If you forgive
anyone, I also
what I have
forgiven-if there
was anything to
forgive- I have
forgiven in the
sight of Christ
for your sake, in
order that Satan
might not outwit
us. For we are
not unaware of
his schemes
2Corinthians
2:10

Child Protective Services (CPS) is allowing the system to be bogged down by
abusive fathers making false reports. There is no reprimand for this misuse of
the organization and the harassing of the mothers. When mothers call about
serious allegations, they are ignored and thought to be seeking revenge
against the abuser.
CPS are giving fathers custody of their children when they are emotionally,
physically, and sexually abusing their children. Mothers are being blamed for
their children's anger or being said to have psychological disorders without
proof of such disorders.
Traumatic events, such as legal domestic abuse, can result is serious stress and
have consequences for women. Women in this situation can develop Post
Turmatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Symptoms include nightmares, difficulty with intimate relationships, and loss
of trust. Psychological disorders may occur such as depression, anxiety, and
substance problems.
Many women going through legal domestic abuse hesitate to seek help or wait
years before getting treatment.
Treatments that can help with PTSD are cognitive behavioral therapy, group
treatment, and Rapid Eye Movement Desentization (REMD)
