She believes that “something was broken in the inside of Decker and that he” would not have done what he did if he was himself, “Cozart revealed.

“He clearly had a kind of break and everything he had lived with, everything that had been bottled in him as trauma, just won,” Cozart said the Seattle Times.

“I don’t want to love Travis at all,” Whitney wrote in court. ‘On the contrary, I have bent back to facilitate that relationship.

“But I can’t let our girls stay in what is essentially a homeless hiding place, sometimes without supervision, with dozens of strange men or staying in a tent or living with him in his truck, both in extreme temperatures and unknown areas for their safety.”

But still repeated Whitney to the authorities how she did not believe her ex was dangerous and said he loved his daughters.

She said that the girls had a, “good relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him,” and noted that he had never failed to give the girls back earlier, according to a police statement.
