Lookback: 5 years after initial custody decision

Refusing to go with abusive father

My father's abuse worsened after joint custody, causing me to fail classes and suffer medical neglect

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew about the court's lack of support for victims of abuse"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't ignore abuse, report it and seek help"
