Hi @LindaD, what hell your sister is going through and how brave are you to tell her story. Your sister's health is everything. She needs to stay in touch with her oncologist and GP. She also needs to have psychological support so proper counselling to help her deal with this emotionally. In addition she needs a legal representative to help her navigate the courts. That legal representative help take some pressure off her trying to figure out what to do and what is needed to fight for her children. Is she still working. It must be hard for her. Remove any other stresses from her life. Is she trying to work with all this too?
My first husband was aggressive, manipulating and controlling. It took alot for me to get him to leave but he did when our son was 8 months old. He cleaned out our bank account and left me with the mortgage and our baby boy. I was glad to see the back of him and only ever crossed paths with him once again when the looser put in a review of his child support wanting to reduce it to zero. He never saw his son again and eventually paid $21.67 per month in child support till my son was 18. The system is really hard for women and he manipulated his income. In a way I was lucky he had nothing to do with me or his son ever again.
I wish you and your sister all the best. I hope the steps she takes gets her the children back. As teenagers they should be able to decide themselves where they want to be and a lawyer can make that happen. Best care to you as well. You will need to look after yourself too. No one can help from an empty cup as they say. Sending you a big hug xx
