In those moments....for your children, for you...you did what was right and that's all that mattered at the time. Good for you and them.

Been there.
It's hard now, but will make them wiser and stronger in the long run, as it's made you. How grand to have a day of peace and respite. Hang in there.

Sounds very rough
And heartbreaking to have to make the kids go with him. I just don't know if I could do that if it were me.

I think that in wanting to be healthy we often tend to forget that we need to work it...Great idea to bring up that we have to be proactive.

Ohhhh! I so understand this! How many times have I wanted to just hold my kids close and not send them off to the dogs? Even now, they were so excited to go to their dad's last night; and I was so jealous of the time with them....but they just called and said they were being 'ignored', and Dad and Wife acted like they had 'other things to do', so they're coming HOME! Sometimes I wish I could just keep them here, and avoid the whole 'will they love me THIS time' issue. It breaks my heart. The beach sounds perfect. I would've done the very same thing.

wow you treuly a strong woman, and sometimes you hafta do what need to do for you and your children...that is an unfortunate situation that's happening all over the world. My parents were 2getha since my mother was 13, they got married and had me and my brother and then divorced(when she was 24). We went to our dads every weekend and we loved to go over there, it would be hard on us when my mom and dad fought about something and she'd forbid him off talkin or seeing us. It got to a point where we ended up moving across the country, and we never told her dad we were moving because our mom told us we wanted to surprised him a week before we left( we were in 3rd n 4th grade at the time)...it wasn't until I got older that i realized how strong he was for just letting us go without going to court. Now that we're older my parents get along just fine, and it's good for us to be able to have them around each other all the time. We have a very special family(people tend to call it) I geuss cuz it's so rare. But, I just hope that you continue on this route to a healing heart, it is definitely the way to go. Happy Holidays

What a terrible pity that the father of your children is such a bastard! But that they don't want to be with him might work in your favour at the end - the courts can't disreagard the kids' feelings forever...And I wish you and your girls a very Merry Christmas! 
Btw, did you get my

Sometimes the most correct thing to do is to take the law into one's own hands. You are a very brave woman and a courageous mother!

I am just praying that God stepped in.
Did he harm those little girls. I can't stand it. They should have enjoyed time with him.What a terrible tough time you have endured. Is this why we can write?

Powerfully written - the system is so terribly broken..
I think you made the right decision - the only decision really that a mother could make, based on the circumstances. Hoping things turn around for you and yours and the holidays bring safety, peace and joy.
