It didn't stop tho, he transferred the abuse to the two young daughters whenever he had visitation rights. They finally reached an age where they would make up excuses why they couldn't spend the weekends with him and ultimately cut off all ties with the jerk. They've had no contact with him for years now........
Needless to say, my oldest and I get along really well now, and she is careful not to have both of us anywhere near each other for grandkid birthdays and gatherings.
The woman in this story knows one thing.......he can't hurt me any more.
