There were access rights in place for him. He breached his AVO and those rights were taken away. It was his fault that he didn't get access. Therefore, there was no ploy, as you say. Furthermore, the decision is not hers to make, but rather the courts and police. He was well aware of the arrangements and breached those arrangements by twisting her arm behind her back after they argued about humiliating pictures of her he had in view of the children.
There was no love at all for her or the kids. He listened to them screaming in agony while they were burning alive!!
Sorry for what you went through, and yes some women have narcissistic traits as well. However, in this case, he is completely responsible for his actions. On the other hand, she was doing what she thought was best to keep herself and the children safe.
If you were the magistrate or police officer, what would you have done in this case?
