I would add to that. Too often abusive men are given access to the children. I did a talk one time to law students at Ottawa U, and a defence attorney was also making a presentation. When I suggested that abusive men not have access to their children, he lit into me. It was as if I were in a courtroom. He said there's no way you can do that, and that men must have access to the children.
I think it's something to consider.
