Just came here to vent. My wife's ex husband, Bryan, was physically abusive and well as severely emotionally abusive. She feared for her life when she was with him and was finally mentally strong enough to leave a few years ago. They are in a custody battle right now and even though there is a no contact order, he keeps messaging her (he is allowed to talk about the kids to her but that's supposed to be it). He makes threats to sue, is demanding, won't acknowledge ever doing anything wrong despite being convicted with evidence that leaves no doubt, is condescending, and is a fucking sociopath. She has me screen his emails to leave out that sort of thing when I relay messages. They've been going back and forth with me helping her find the words to say as she just wants to tell him to fuck off which would look bad in court, as he brings all of the emails in even when they are damning for hi,. He doesn't realize that he looks bad. Bryan wants Amanda to "talk like an adult about the kids future but when she tries he uses the tactics described above. When called out on this, he says she's misreading his emails and he couldn't possibly be communicating in that manner because it is "female speech". Talking to him is like talking to an evil robot as he does not seem to have real emotions or a grasp on reality. He's former military and thinks that he's an American hero. I hope him and hope he gets hit by a truck. End of rant.
