It just seems so impossible that what I experienced could be anything other than a fluke. After all, how can society be so unfair? How can Family Court reward the bad and punish the good? How can it so callously destroy children's lives? It is almost a coping strategy to think that what happens to you is not what normally happens. But it does. Take a look at this video:
Unfortunately that same denial of reality is what keeps legislators, law enforcement, good lawyers and ethical judges from addressing the problem. They just do not believe the problem it exists other than as a rare misfortune. They believe the system works and no changes are needed. They are wrong.
