Divorce is tough for eยญveryone, espeยญcially kids. Even with the best inteยญntions, parents can lock into bitter custody fights, overlooking theยญ child’s needs. Janet Milleยญr wound up in court, fighting for her daughter, Jasmine.
Janeยญt thought Roger was family-focused, but he wasn’t. Jasmineยญ’s statement during the trial shockeยญd 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. Janeยญt married Roger four yeยญars back after the sad death of Jasmineยญ’s dad, Janet’s first husband, due to an overdoseยญ. Since then, Roger has leยญgally adopted Jasmine.
They live in New Jersey with their loving dog, Rover. Roger cared for Janeยญt and Jasmine in good times. But, hidden behind this normal look, the Millers kept a disturbing seยญcret.
Trying to Be a Family
Janet had a tough life. Her past wasn’t easy, and she sometimes used alcohol to numb her feยญelings. Yet, she saw Rogeยญr as her chance to start anew and workeยญd hard to build a good life with him. Her love for her daughter, Jasmine, was her greatest.
Even in hard times, sheยญ made sure Jasmine’s neยญeds were meยญt. Janet gave Jasmine a dog, Roveยญr. The two quickly became best friends, spending lots of time playing in the yard and hanging out on the couch.
