    Wow, that was an especially hard read. Nearly 20 yrs abuse from a person in a position of authority. Why would you force reunification to this man?!

      Religious reunification “therapy” ordered by a judge. I had never heard of this reunification shit before but it’s disgusting. Have a psychologist ask the kids if they want to see their dad. They’re old enough for that kind of decision making even though it’s hard.

        Absolutely. Not having the children there of their own volition when the crime involved is of this magnitude… archaic. Especially in Colorado.
