Appeal from order, same court and Judge and entered on or about the same date, which, to the extent appealed from, denied respondent father’s application for a stay of the court’s order terminating his parental rights and for continued visitation with the subject children pending the stay, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as abandoned.

The finding that the father had violated the terms of the suspended judgment is supported by a preponderance of the evidence (see Matter of Kendra C.R. [Charles R.], 68 AD3d 467, 467-468 [1st Dept 2009], lv dismissed and denied 14 NY3d 870 [2010]). The father failed to show that he stopped the cycle of domestic violence with the children’s mother, which was one of the reasons the children entered into foster care, and his actions demonstrated his inability to take full responsibility as the children’s primary caretaker (see Matter of Darren V., 61 AD3d 986, 987 [2d Dept 2009], lv denied 12 NY3d 715 [2009]).
