WTBH - I'm so sorry you and your daughters have had to go through this. As if it's not bad enough that he abused you in front of them, but he dares to put his hands on his daughter?! She's eight years old for cripes sake, an innocent child. He is a monster!
I'm so glad you got through to the DCYF folks.
It's time to put on your Mama Bear suit and kick some butt!
