[quote]Hi,
Been down this road, unfortunatly sometimes grownups don't always do or say the right thing. You also can not control what goes on in your Ex's home, nor should you try to. It's MHO that by texting/emailing you may even make the situation worse. He was wrong to say what he did, he could have handled the situation much better. It is human to have a bad day every once in a while and lash out at the people we love. However when that lashing out becomes cronic, not an isolated slip up every once in a while; it is there that it crosses the line into verbal abuse.
My children suffered non stop verbal abuse, my ex never treated the kids bad, his second wife did, 24/7.
It's a difficult position to be in; having a child reporting back to you things that happened while on a visit, it doesn't matter if your a mom or a dad, as parents we never want to hear stuff like that. My advice is to leave your ex alone about it. Also be VERY careful how you talk about stuff that your S7 tells you. NEVER bad mouth your ex, no matter what, and temper your reactions with a relaxed and even tone to your son. You can only control what comes out of your own mouth, remember that, as simple a statment like that seems...ppl forget to all the time and in doing so you will only ADD to what your S has to deal with. Just hug him and say "I'm sorry" and sugest he cuddle with you and do an activity to help him forget.
Hopefully this is just a stage in your seperation/divorce that too shall pass...

Let me try this again and get back to the original question. How did you get a restraining order protecting your kids from your ex's verbally abusive wife? I have loads of recordings, texts, emails and the kids' own recollection of their personal experience as proof yet because he hasn't left visible scars on the children, I'm told I can't do anything about the abuse. Can you reanswer the question with regards to the legal system please?
