Hello! =) I'm new here, so we haven't met, but you sound like a really strong, positive person. I've been through a similar event. Basically, my father was upset about my mom getting a restraining order against him, and when he picked me and my brothers up for custody (I brought my Pug along, too), he sped off and tried to get hit by cars, speeding and almost swerving into them across the streets and freeway. I called my mom, and he took my phone away. My mom called and tried to get a police escort to help her pick us up (since she had the restraining order), but no one would do anything, so I had to stay there the rest of the weekend, and I had to go to court repeatedly for about two years before even being able to have the option of not going with him anymore. Everyone (in the court) I spoke to seemed to think I was lying, like something like that could never happen, and up until reading your post, I think I really have believed that.
