I'm not blaming her but damn, love makes you blind sometimes. He was messy from the beginning; I still remembering him beating the crap out of her ex (forcing him to have surgery), the whole move to France thing, and alienating her from old friends. She left him and he still can't handle it after all of this time and is using their son to hurt her. Yeah, it's time for the courts to intervene.

Nothing against you but I dislike that phrase so much, love makes you blind or ones that say wow they must really love that person if they put up with all of that. That is not love, it’s the opposite. It’s not having love for yourself and not being able to see that a person is not right for you because of that. We all need to love our self’s more than anyone could ever love us. ❤️

No worries! :)

Also, you made a good point.

It’s baffling to me that the court granted him shared legal custody and what i assume primary physical custody since their son lives with him, when he exhibited how extremely violent he could get by beating Halle’s ex within an inch of his life. WILD.

And this is why the myth that the court favors mothers in custody hearings is such bullshit. Mothers get primary custody most of the time because fathers usually don't pursue it, but when they do, the courts (American or otherwise, afaik) are apt to give the fathers joint custody, if not more, even in cases where they've physically abused and threatened the life of the mother, and sometimes even when they have a history of harming the children as well. Judges, both male and female, tend to favor fathers because they believe mothers are guilty of "parental alienation." It's vile.

I agree, and will add that even money is not the factor here. I mean it's not just the rich white men are the ones getting custody, it's that absolute deadbeat losers of whichever color, who show up in court with their pants down their knees and have half the teeth because the other half fell out because they have never brushed them (true story) get custody.

It's uncanny isn't it? The unconscious bias our world has towards men (and against women) under patriarchy is so overwhelming it takes my breath sometimes.
