And Today.

Julian spent the day in the Grafton Court House.

The magistrate summed up.

"This is a family that has been destroyed."

"We're your adopted children," said one of the 17 year old twin girls to Julian.
"I know," Julian said. She hadn't seen them for many years, but loved them still.

It was a case that involved the oldest son. The outcome was an AVO on him not to come near them for 5 years. This was apparently unusual.

Everyone was happy. Almost.

Mum said, "he will go and lick his wounds and plot and plan."

It was harrowing.
