I am not in fear of this child while he is removed from the home. Yes, there was violence and manipulation and lies while he lived under our roof.
I will not leave the marriage nor abandon the security of the children to make a point about the oldest son. Bio Dad will have his own day of reckoning with the child. At that point they will work out their own problems.
It's tough to work out anything if the two are not in contact and one is in hiding.
