I stayed with my kids Mother for this very reason. I feared the court would give her partial custody which would have been worse then me babysitting her. Shes a very manipulative person. Ill never forget when I read an article about a girl who had a narcissit for a mother, she said "my mom lies better then i tell the truth". Thats exactly how I felt. In mind at the time it seemed logical. I still dont know if leaving sooner would have been the better choice
How would she have access to the kids after two attempts at murder?
No one would ever know. She’d just continue being a terror, on her own, with no one to moderate her or how she behaves around the kids.
Was this provable? If you were the dad would you risk it?
