| 2009-10-12 | Robin | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I am in the process of seeking legal help. But I was afraid to open the door to custody battles because of my alcoholism issues. I could not bare to lose them to him. He does not care for them, his only motive is to win people to him by his charm and lies..while secretly torturing us. |
