This is going to be a hard journal for me to write.

About a year ago my mother and a man I considered to be my father for the best part of my younger years well into adulthood fell apart. It was a violent, messy separation that ended outrageously with my own mother being arrested after suffering months and months of severe mental distress in which she finally could take no more after being provoked and attacked him.
The piece of garbage wept as he spoke to officers, claiming HE was the one that had been abused and because my mother was the aggressor, the police had to arrest her, in front of myself and my brother.

Since that day we have had zero contact with him, only insisting that he focus on his relationship with his daughter (my half-sister).

Today we received a letter of divorce citing "behaviour" as the main factor behind this pathetic attempt to further cause us misery.
It also says he will be after 50% of whatever he can get out of my mother - despite owning another house himself and working in a well-paid job.

I do not know what to do.

I feel like crying.
