Ive seen this happen before... this loving, supportive environment turn the wrath on when they dont like what they hear. Noone EVER needs to EXPLAIN their personal decisions to anyone else on the INTERNET! If you feel you need to know more about someone before you can support them, then DON'T post at all. That way noones feelings get hurt even more.
YorkieMom2 - did you ever make a deal with your ex that youd get the dogs back when you were ready for them? Was the solution of them staying with him assumed to be forever? Maybe you can talk to your ex husband into going in on a new pup for you and letting him keep your other babies. I know its going to hurt you so much to let them go and possibly not see them very often if at all... but it may be better for you emotionally to deal with the loss of them than with the emotions of dealing with your abusive ex husband in a 'custody battle'.
I wish you all the luck in the world, this is a tough situation! Id hate to be in your shoes and my heart goes out to you! I think 2 tiny Yorkies mixed in with 6 kids is a bit dangerous! Tell your ex that!
