Family court empowers and emboldens abusive parents, the majority of perpetrator parents being male. The court IS a vehicle for gender based violence. It cannot be reformed it must be transformed. Abusers do not love their children. Love does not hurt. Abusers love control and causing pain. Only abusive parents use the family court. No loving parent chooses to step foot in family court. Family court is the sewer of the legal system. Family lawyers are the used car salesmen of the law. It’s a hub of abuse, sadism and capitalism. It’s organised crime. Mothers are punished for protecting their children from abuse. Mainstream media are finally exposing corrupt practices. #HowDareShe teach her kids what abuse looks and feels like in order to be safe.
Your bravery in speaking out about such an important issue is truly admirable. Your dedication to protecting children and advocating for change is inspiring. Keep shining light on such crucial topics. 💜
I think you do incredible work and love a lot of your content on here. However, I think it is wrong to say Only abusive dads use the family court. What about the small minority of men that have been victims in abusive/controlling relationships that have no option but to attend family court proceedings?
"Family court is the sewer of the legal system" - love this. So accurate.
The problem with this is, in courts like California family law, if we do this (which is good mental health practice) they claim we are alienating the child by refusing to lie about the truth… women are losing their children left, right and center as a result

10moI am all about saying no to court - however - it is needed to protect women and children in Canada from further violence. In Saskatchewan we have the highest rate of violence in the Country - every 4 days a woman is murdered by her intimate partner in Canada. While criminal courts might deal with some of the issues, there are inevitably family law issues as well. And when we are dealing with criminals and psychopaths- I disagree that dispute resolution can be helpful - these matters need to be dealt with by courts.
