This woman was divorced several years ago, they have two kids. Her ex was emotionally and minorly physically abusive. They developed a very common custody arrangement, which works well for the young children involved 6 and 7. Her ex is remarried with 2 more kids already (and possibly planning on more). What is happening is that he keeps taking her back to court, first to ask for shared placement (1 week 1 week kind of thing) the court ruled that is not in the best intrest of the child. Now not even 1 year later, to ask for extended visits (which would bring visitation just shy of shared placement arrangements) and a silly contempt charge over a trivial incident. My question- She is in a terrible depression caused by the ongoing emotional abuse, but won't seek help fearing that it will hurt her case. She thinks that it will show she is "unstable" But don't you think that it will show he is still emotionally abusing her? and the kids, because of her depression? Couldn't that help
