This is absolutely true. Times have changed and women should be encouraged to follow their dreams and have careers if that’s what they want without the added pressure of handling everything at home. And for those that want to be stay at home moms it’s no longer a must it’s a want and the same thing applies as it’s not their “job” to do everything at home. One of the themes I see in successful marriages is recognizing and embracing this change as well as viewing marriage as a partnership rather than something that fits within historic gender roles. In a partnership even if one spouse is a stay at home parent, the tasks of keeping a home, cooking, and all the other chores of being an adult are shared by the partners not left to one because it’s always been the woman’s job.

This is not an accurate representation of that hearing this morning. I listened to a lot of it and there were many concerns expressed about this bill and none of those people are mentioned in this recap. The biggest issue is a presumption of anything in the first place. There should not be a presumption as that’s where issues happen as you need to overcome a presumption making it harder to prove even simple issues that should be addressed as it’s then presumed it’s made up for the sake of gaining an advantage in a custody case. The next biggest issue is this entire idea is parent focused not child focused. It needs to be child focused and too often custody courts focus on what the parents want and why rather than what’s going on and how it actually impacts the child which is how it should be done.

There was testimony today from the mental health field about the impact on the kids and why this is parent focused and not child focused. There was testimony from domestic violence attorneys about how this isn’t the right way and it takes away from the already existing factors and Kayden’s law.

There was testimony from the mother behind Kayden’s law about how this kind of thinking is exactly what got her child killed.

The bottom line this bill is dangerous and promotes a parent centered focus instead of a child focused one. My hope is it does not become law as it will be a disaster.

This is great advice! Taking that power away from them not only prevents them from getting the reaction they want but it also takes away the relationship they want. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself to help you see you can stand on your own two feet and be yourself again!!

After hearing their why and what they have been through I always tell my clients it may not seem like it now, but in the end this will be one of the best decisions you made. And once you have healed and found yourself again you will be better at setting the boundaries you need to set and will opt to choose peace over conflict to ensure you never to through what you went through before.

And I have never had a client come back and say I regret the divorce. It’s always I wish I would’ve done it sooner rather than continuing to think he was going to change.

So often we see victims dismissed because there wasn’t physical abuse. It’s one of the most disgusting things to witness as they act like the things listed below are just fine. They are not in fact ok and cause just as much harm as physical violence. Our laws need to catch up to reality and protect victims from all forms of abuse as well as better training for Court officials in these other forms of abuse and how to recognize them.

Domestic violence comes down to power and control, and it can show up in ways that aren’t always easy to recognize.

After you get out, process it and heal hindsight is 20/20 and many often find themselves saying omg what was I thinking. It’s important to remember that if you were presented the opportunity for that relationship with the info you had at the end of the relationship you likely would’ve made different choices. You made decisions based on what you saw at the moment and that’s ok because as you began to see the issues you realized it wasn’t the right thing for you and got out. Mistakes are how we learn so stop being so hard on yourself and know that you’ve grown from that experience and are better because of it.

hindsight be wilding 💀

So many people say you can’t choose your family and I’ve always thought that to be weird. While you can’t change the fact that they are blood related, you can change whether they have access to you. The only exception to this is when family court is involved as the court will often force children and the safe parent to continue interacting with the abusive parent. It shouldn’t be that way yet it is… for now as many of us are pushing for change to ensure this doesn’t have to happen as there’s no reason a person should ever have to deal with an abuser.

This is great advice!! You don’t need to defend yourself to your child because your child already knows how you feel about them as your child sees, hears, and knows what you do for that child every day. Instead this method makes your child think about what their experience is vs what the child is being told, teaches them it’s ok to believe what you want based on your actual experience, and that you are supporting them regardless of what others are saying about you.

This is an important case because in PA we have a corporal punishment statute. It allows for a parent and some others to use force on a child if they are a danger to themselves or others. The law is responsible for CYS often having their hands tied in cases because the person accused cites this law and no one bats an eye at the validity of whether the child actually is a danger to themselves or others. There are times when parents have left legit hand print bruises on a child and gotten away with it because of this law and despite the fact that professionals involved with the child, the other parent, the school and others having interactions with the child have not had issues where actions needed to be taken consistent with this law. In many of those instances the offender gets away with it despite the fact that the real issue isn’t the child it’s the parent and how they are or are not handling things. This law absolutely needs to go as it is not in the best interest of the child and instead helps protect abusive parents. I’m interested to learn more about this case and see how it turns out.
