Divorce is tough for eÂveryone, espeÂcially kids. Even with the best inteÂntions, parents can lock into bitter custody fights, overlooking the child’s needs. Janet MilleÂr wound up in court, fighting for her daughter, Jasmine.
JaneÂt thought Roger was family-focused, but he wasn’t. JasmineÂ’s statement during the trial shockeÂd the judge. So, what did Jasmine say?
Meet the Millers
To the outside world, the Millers are seen as a normal family. Janet, 32, lives with her daughter Jasmine, who is 8. JaneÂt married Roger four yeÂars back after the sad death of JasmineÂ’s dad, Janet’s first husband, due to an overdoseÂ. Since then, Roger has leÂgally adopted Jasmine.
They live in New Jersey with their loving dog, Rover. Roger cared for JaneÂt and Jasmine in good times. But, hidden behind this normal look, the Millers kept a disturbing seÂcret.
Trying to Be a Family
Janet had a tough life. Her past wasn’t easy, and she sometimes used alcohol to numb her feÂelings. Yet, she saw RogeÂr as her chance to start anew and workeÂd hard to build a good life with him. Her love for her daughter, Jasmine, was her greatest.
Even in hard times, she made sure Jasmine’s neÂeds were meÂt. Janet gave Jasmine a dog, RoveÂr. The two quickly became best friends, spending lots of time playing in the yard and hanging out on the couch.
