Utah, I think it's awesome that you have the nerve to state this publicly, because this is exactly how I feel as well.
I absolutely could not tolerate anyone belittling or harming my children, and I would have spent everything I had pursuing whatever retribution was available to the fullest extent of the law.
Thank you, my dear Sister. I hold you up with very high regards because of the depth of your integrity. Knowing you understand where I'm coming from means the world. God bless you.
