no the mother sounds like the loon...
same thing happened to my brother, his certified psycho ex wife used the children as weapons in her war against my brother..
she openly defied court orders and took my brother to court for over 16 years (yes I said years)...
once when my brother asked the judge why he did not jail her for contempt for refusing to follow court orders the judge said..
“ I will not throw a mother of 3 children in jail, ever”...
this judge is not putting up with the crap, and is actually trying to deprogram the children...
when my brothers children got into their late teens is when their eyes finally opened...
What you say here is what I think. The judge in this case has picked a battle she cannot win. You can't fight against psycho parents; you can only let time take care of the matter. The children will eventually, like your brother's children, figure it out themselves. Fighting it will only make it worse. The judge needs to be removed from family law cases. She must be a leftist. They're the only ones who think you can fight human nature and win.
