Patriarchy rules family court. Mothers are important. Women need to raise their children in peace. Many children are robbed of a safe, nurturing and happy childhood. They grow up terrified. Separating mothers and children is torturous. Mothers and children grieve their loss. Many do experience personal, institutional and tertiary Betrayal Trauma. Betrayal blindness makes sense with the overwhelming betrayal experienced. It provides a way of coping with the unbearable. Attempting to break the mother-child bond is sadistic. Patriarchy harms and destroys many women and children. Suffering takes a lifetime toll on them. Women must continue to fight for a new system. Family court must end.
