This is kinda off topic, and for that I apologize, but it is the best link I have on the violence of women.

(I hope I got the syntax right, this is my first post to this board).

In American divorce courts, children are property. They are fought over in the same way the house or car is fought over. If I was emporer of the world then I would decree that children would have a advocate in the court in every divorce.

From 16 to 18 I went from being property fought for to being thown out by each parent in turn. Now past 40, I understand so much more than I did at the time about why and about the consequences, and how to deal with it, but the experience does not go away just because time passes. It colors everything I am; I could no more escape it than I could escape the sun on a cloudless day.
