This is a two-sided coin. I understand why you want to protect your` kids. But if you isolate them from their` father, they may have some tough questions in life that you may not be able to answer to their` satisfaction. Wouldn`t supervised visits be better ? Then they would really get to know him and draw their` own conclusions.

I think no child should be made to visit a abusive father because it's just not right. Any man that abuses you would not think 2 seconds about abusing your child. Women need to open up thier eyes and realize that any man that put his hands on you is not a man.when he first lay hands on you he is laying hands on your child because your child is you. Men come and go but your child is forever. REMEMBER THAT.

I know what you are saying Casey! I really do, but I am still against it. My kids don't resent me for keeping them away from their so called dad. I am very comfortable with the decision I have made. Now that the restraining order against him was expired last year he has not made any attempt to take me to court to try and get his parental rights back. I refuse to let him see MY kids if he does try to take me. I just feel in my heart that these parents lost all rights to parenthood when they abuse the child. I know it's hard to understand if you are not in the situation, but try to see the other side. Would you really be comfortable allowing your kids or grandkids around someone that abused them even with supervised visitations? There is still the mental and verbal abuse that can happen. Supervised does not mean that they sit right there in the room with the kids. It is just a nice term the courts use to make you think the children are being protected.
