This is a sample of what I am dealing with from our friends and family...This was a message I got from his sister today...

"Did he hit you? Ever?? Or any guns? There was no reason to call the police! Talk about kids witnessing abuse! There father went to jail! They will have issues for life! All marriages have ups and downs and say things they will regret,but you work them out . I think you both need help,and right now as a family not letting the kids see there father and your husband of 15 years is crazy! Don't you care how it is hurting all of them! I think you need some Help if you don't see what you are doing. At least he should be able to see them,he loves them soo much! He would never hurt them. If he actually hit u and the kids I would agree with you,but right now my heart is breaking for those children,they Need both of You! How could you be so Cold! I'm praying for you!.."

I have been getting similiar hate mail all week. How do I deal with this? How can people be so ignorant?
