Hello, Amy.
My name is Rob. I am writing
you on behalf of my girlfriend
Stacie. I will try to make
a long story as short as possible.
Stacie was married to a man
in the military who routinely
abused her mentally and emotionally.
He was also unfaithful for
most of their marriage. After
17 years and six kids later,
she finally got the nerve to
leave him.
Well, he essentially coerced
her into signing a divorce
decree that benefits mostly
him. She never worked during
the marriage and her ex was
the breadwinner of the family.
Somehow he managed to talk
the legal firm he used into
putting in the decree that
Stacie should pay child support
and that she could only have
the kids for six weeks out
of the year. There were some
religious requirements in there,
like she had to take them to
church every Sunday or else
all bets were off and she couldn't
get the kids.
The story is much longer and
I could go on for days but
the bottom line is that her
ex is an angry, manipulative
monster who want to punish
her for leaving him by taking
the kids away from her like
they are some kind of possession.
It's tricky because her ex
is VERY manipulative and has
pulled the wool over a lot
of people's eyes in terms of
what kind of a person he is.
I have personally seen him
go into a rage at his 16-year-old
son, forcing him to answer
a question in a certain way.
Essentially, he made the kid
lie to him so the he could
get the answer HE wanted to
get. Then when the kid finally
answered, he threw a bigger
fit since the kid admitted
to doing something wrong (which
he didn't do).
Bottom line is that this guy
is a psycho but he is a Captain
in the army, almost a Bishop
of his church and has a degree
in...you guessed it, Psychology.
So, in the "public eye" he
is a wonderful, accomplished
and value oriented man but
he has tortured and tormented
these kids to the point that
they are becoming like him.
My girlfriend is so afraid
of what he will do that she
won't fight him in court.
What I want to know is, do
you know of anyone who can
help in a situation like this?
Since he pretty much threw
her out of the house with no
alimony or anything, she can't
afford a lawyer, etc. There
HAS to be someone that can
help. Thanks in advance for
any advise you can offer.
