10. Getting help, an example: The Netherlands (2007): A mother: ”My child has always witnessed any abuse of my ex husband. I am looking for help for my daughter since my divorce, two years ago. I have been everywhere but there is almost no specialist help for our problem. Really unbelievable! Now I finally have found a therapist and she wants to help, after three months on the waiting list it is finally our turn. That is, if her father agrees. We have joint custody and I am afraid that he will not allow her to monitor this therapy."
