In the course of learning about the miserable uphill battles many protective parents, generally mothers, may face in gaining custody of their minor children face, I attended the Battered Mothers Custody Conference a few times in the past decade. I met Karin Huffer there as she was a presenter who travelled from out West to NY.
She was developing a course to train people to be advocates for people facing the courts yet being compromised by 'legal abuse syndrome' whether they had identified disabilities or developed PTSD behaviors due to the stress of the court process.
