My children who live with ex H and ex H used to come to me for dinners - that was our visitation. I realized that he had been abusive to me and I want my own life, free from him, and visitation with my daughters alone. I have a lawyer now who will file to get me some visitation. I have a letter from my p-doc that says that I am stable and I expect reasonably good results from the neuropsychological evaluation. But my daughters do not want to see me without their father present. They want to go back to dinners together as a family. They also want all four of us to go into family therapy TOGETHER.

I know this is very weird, and I wonder, how would the family court respond to this?
