Bitch Sesh: 262 Days Without Her Daughter - One #Mother's Battle with FamilyCourt


Listen Later

What happens when a mother drops her daughter off at school—and never sees her again? In this gut-wrenching episode of Bitch Sesh, Lindsay sits down with “M,” a doctor, mother, and fierce advocate who dropped her daughter off at school one morning and never saw her come home. It’s been 262 days. No warning, no goodbye. Just a so-called “temporary” custody order that became a silent sentence. From lost milestones to supervised calls, M shares her story of post-separation abuse, litigation trauma, and relentless love. This is a call for family court reform and a voice for silenced mothers


We unpack the truth behind family court trauma, post-separation abuse, and the terrifying reality so many protective mothers face. M's story is a powerful call to action and a heartbreaking reminder that this system is failing the very people it claims to protect.


Inside This Episode:

  • What happens when a six-year-old is taken without notice or legal grounds
  • Why “temporary” custody orders often last for years
  • Parenting through supervised calls—and losing milestones to silence
  • How the courts weaponize protective mothers and reward abusers
  • The quiet epidemic of litigation abuse and coercive control
  • The grassroots movement demanding family court reform


About M:

M is a physician, a mother, and a survivor. She’s part of the National Safe Parents Coalition and an advocate for reforming the family court system. Her story is both a warning and a rallying cry for every mother told to stay quiet, and every child caught in the middle.
