I thought that my children would be well taken care of but have found that they were not.

I thought that when I was not with my children, they would at least be well taken care of by their Chinese father and grandparents. However, through my video calls, I have realized this assumption was wrong.
I am familiar with what abuse looks like in a child. There are certain signs in their body language, speech patterns, and behavior that reveal the extent of the abuse they have endured.
In the case of my younger son, I have to say that he shows signs of having experienced significant abuse.
Narcissistic abuse, as I understand it, does not occur occasionally but rather frequently over a prolonged period. It is a type of abuse that can completely break a person.
Now, if you are not familiar with how narcissists abuse and treat their own children, you might think I am imagining this. But this is not about projecting my fears; it is about holding the abuser accountable and placing the responsibility where it belongs.
When I asked my ex how our children were doing, he usually repeated that they were happy every day, that they didn’t miss me at all, and that they were happier without me in their lives. He also told me to stop disrupting their lives and to stay out of their lives forever.
As of today, he has severed all contact between me and my children for the second time. The last time I was able to have a call with my younger son was on 11 May 2024.
Have you ever tried to protect your children from abuse?
