Hi, I've been hearing different things from different professionals and I'd like to understand your experience on the matter. I'm in the process of divorcing a terrible human who is manipulative and abusive towards me and our kids (just like many of you). I've recently talked to my lawyer who agreed that my ex wife has done terrible things but that the abuse she's committed doesn't meet the standard that is worth fighting over anything in family court even though I've got several years of evidence of manipulation, gaslighting, etc. To put it in perspective she's manipulated and emotionally abused me to the point that I attempted to erase myself multiple times before I finally got out of the relationship. She's also incredibly controlling and isolating of our kids and demands to home school them even though she's never worked (to support herself) and has no skills in the area. I'm feeling rather hopeless that there's NOTHING I can do legally for my kids like trying to get more custody due to her abuse. Should I just drop the issue and try and live my best life and be there for my kids when I've got them? Or should I fight to prove to the court that she's a terrible person and that I deserve to get more custody of the kids?
