They aren't being repeatedly abused. He's being watched now, so he just threatens.

My daughter said he's hiring his own lawyer so he can make me look worse than I am. That's what he told them I'm doing to him.

I feel like I'm holding on to an electric fence. My whole body is buzzing and I can't shut my mind off to sleep. I just want what my daughter asked for - to be with me - and now I might end up losing them completely.
