Quote: saw the dog cowering on the ground while D14 repeatedly kicked it. That problem isn’t part of this though
This most certainly *IS* part of the problem. When your child has so much stored up rage that she will "repeatedly" kick a dog-- what makes you think she won't do this to her own children one day? Children treat others the way they PERCEIVE they have been treated. This is a huge red flag--- I think it's time to rip the blinders from your eyes and see what living with your W is doing to your kids. And in later years, abused children (and that's what yours are) may hate the abusing spouse, but they wonder why the Other Parent stood by and let it happen.
The picture of a 14-year old girl kicking a dog makes ME want to throw up. How much pain that poor child must contain to do that...
Fcuk the man-o-steel... kick that woman to the curb and do it NOW! Stop making excuses for her.
Animal and child abuse is something I absolutely will not tolerate-- it hits my biggest and hottest hot button.
Sorry, that's my take.
