[QUOTE="witzend, post: 206414, member: 99"] When I was 7 months pregnant with M, L's dad and stepmom pulled their dirtiest trick on me. (Remember, he was a lawyer in private practice, and she was an assistant DA working in the child welfare section.) SM made a report that I had molested L. This was in the heyday of false accusations of ritual abuse. SM was the driving force, and L's dad to this day acts as though he was on the South Pole the entire time and had no idea of what was happening. SM knew that the result of making a report would be that CPS would tell them to discontinue visitations with me. I don't know that any exptectant mother could have been as depressed as I was. It wasn't until M was three months old that I was able to see L again, and then for one year only under the supervision of my parents. I had to represent myself in family court, the result of which was that their hand picked judge (in a civil court where the burden of proof is "preponderance of the evidence", not "beyond a reasonable doubt") said "Well, there's no evidence, but if the step mom says so, it must be true. She's an attorney and would never lie in court." L's dad suspected that I would walk away if I had to be under my father's supervision three times a week, but I didn't. Did the stress itself do anything to M in utero? I don't know. I know it made me a far less capable parent. [/QUOTE]
