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.
sorry but in this particular case you are wrong..
the judge has seen this case for years, and has a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding it than you or I...
the children need to be deprogrammed... period...
the mother needs to be incarcerated ( but no elected judge will ever throw a mother in jail)..
I back this call based upon personal experience...
