Today I received a call from my attorney. Good news! I've been going through this divorce for close to a year now. I was recenlty arrested last weekend for coming to the aid of my oldest son. He called me up crying, hiding in the bathroom, and whispering letting me know his mom had hit him several times in the thigh above the knee cap with a wooden spoon, and was yelling and screaming at him for the majority of his time with her.
So I went over to talk to her based on my sons request, and she slammed the door on me. I went to walk away and I heard a scream of fear from my son. I opened her door (careful not to go in) and she had him by his shirt neck collar with one hand raised. He finally fought her and got away and hid behind me, but she had his shirt and was headlocking him trying to get him back inside.
After he got loose, I went directly to the police station. I told them I was concerned about my other two kiddies, and they said to call "Check the Welfare" hotline and they'd have a police officer meet me out there.
She accused me of squeezing her hand and going inside her apartment, and when the officer took her watch off, it was red underneath, and I was carted off to jail and they made my son go back to her. EVEN after he told the officer she was hitting him and he was afraid of her. There was a witness the entire time who validated my entire story even to the point of not going in her house. I stayed in jail from Saturday-Sunday, and had an automatic 3 day restraining order placed on me. So I had no contact with the kids. That made me an emotional wreck!
Well, Monday...my son reported what took place to the school counselor and the kids advocate talked with him and now...her parenting time has been suspended by the courts. She now has supervised visitations through Colorado Association of Child Advocates. I can finally breathe a breath of fresh air.
I have been waiting and waiting patiently for someone to step in and do the right thing. Finally, his cries have been heard. My two youngest are too young to speak for themselves, and my oldest is the only one who can speak up...and for a long time when he did..he was shut down.

It just proves that God can do what no man can do. Isn't God awesome and truly amazing? I'm glad that something is finally being done to protect your children's safety. I pray that God brings peace and love to your ex-wife so that your children can live in a home of love and not fear. May you rejoice in Him and be thankful that justice arrived. Maybe you can get custody of your children later on when all the dust settles. Good luck and keep us posted.
