No:
Did Daddy abuse Mommy?
Instead:

Lily said:
“Daddy put Mommy in my cake.”

“Were you scared?”
“Yes.”
“Of who?”
“Daddy when he gets the loud face.”

I believed that.
Love does not automatically create safety.
Parenting arrangements developed gradually with supervision and later structured contact as professionals assessed behavior.
