first, just because it happened in your case, does not mean it is normal. It is NOT normal for a child to demonstrate great fear of his parent.
Other clues in her post (the father is in too much of a hurry to deal with the kid, expects mom to do EVERYTHING regarding getting the kid ready, expressed anger that the kid wasn't ready to go, etc) tell me that dad is not exactly father of the year.
I did not advise her to yank the kid (yet) I advised her to get his custody of the child supervised so that if he decides to be cruel, someone will know about it.
