Chapter 23 - Custody was not a weapon anymore

At first I wanted Ryan to never see Caleb or Mia again.

Rachel did not represent me in the divorce.

She insisted.

“You need a lawyer who isn’t emotionally involved.”

Smart.

The family court reviewed:

Criminal conduct.

Children’s statements.

Therapy.

Ryan’s treatment progress.

Risk assessments.

There was no immediate overnight contact.

Later:

Professionally supervised visits.

Then review.

The children were not forced to call him evil.

Not forced to forgive.

Not forced to become messengers between parents.

I hated the process.

It was still better than making decisions entirely from my rage.
