    One gal I know used to make these beautiful artsy mobiles - like mobiles for over baby cribs - but these were more like home decor mobiles for kids or any room. She made them with felt, and this wooly string… they were simple and fun and easy for her to do at home with her toddler and she sold them on Etsy and made plenty that helped her pay for her divorce. She could do it around her kids’s schedule and just sort of say she was making gifts for her old friends (many of us saw them on her FB page and purchased them directly). She’d sell them for like $60-80 or a really elaborate one for maybe $100. Plus shipping. She saved up for a couple years and got help and took her time to plan it out. But was able to create a great new life for herself and her child. A safe one.

    Women that I know who have gone through this tell me the toughest thing was feeling like they had to become a liar or hide things both because of fear for their safety in case their partner found out, but also because they don’t like feeling deceptive, even to abusers who in a lot of cases were not honest with the women who just have a boundary around becoming deceptive themselves. Risking their own abuse rather than their integrity doesn’t feel as difficult to them if the abuse isn’t that bad.

And from very strong families… and were super smart, successful, had all the support in the world, which is probably why it did eventually end, thank goodness! I heard from people recently who don’t have access to all that support and I can’t even imagine the weight of these decisions for them. I just pray for anybody in this. And thank Goodness for coaches like you who can be helpers, connect people with resources like this interview, and keep people accountable.

    I need help with this. I’ve left. I left my son with him because I didn’t want to uproot him from his home moved 1000 feet down the street. He changed the locks and alienated my son at age 9-10 . I trusted our arrangement. I fought like a lioness. I have no one in my corner. Omg because I was so beat down by him that I thought he was the better parent. Even know he’s a daily heavy drinker narcissistic. He coerced me into signing a lie document under the influence uncovering itself as a property agreeement. Totally brainwashed. He used my son as a pawn and a weapon to hurt me. I turned to drugs and tried to kill MYSELF. I sawbthebabuse when I moved out. and left but had to come home because of money he decided to stop helping me since he controlled money and omg the life I have please help me navigate getting help in the law.

He has entitlement issues, narcisssism, hates women independent, gets women up deat hthreatning them for MATRIMONY to feminists who don't believe in it, stalks, murders , slams me into walls with teh 10 commandmewnts, won't let me dwell on my own living without him and is a murderer.

    Family law is toxic, it has destroyed marriage and birth rates for 50+ years now by 80%, and is acrimonious BY DESIGN... (not so) funny enough it was written by lawyers like you... who profit by it, no conflict of interest there..?! Equally people who practice in it are equally so, some of the most toxic people I've met are family lawyers. They thrive in conflict...just look at social stats and people who came from single mother homes to see how good a job you've done... Script is mother us a victim and a better parent and deserves all the custody, money and support, and father is abusive and needs to oay for it all... problem is kids pay the price for this stupidity later in life, and these idiots perpetuate it

    Coercive controllers are not only malignant, malicious, sadistic and desperate to invade and dominate every aspect of the victims life (reputation, career, finances, relationships, freedom, privacy) but they are mentally ill addicts, and should be exposed, held accountable, and prosecuted for their abuse and the plethora of associated crimes. Most of the invasions are criminal, in my case, dozens- surveilling, tracking, stalking, spying, technology and social media hacking, blocking, and shadow banning, doxing, isolating, career and financial monitoring, theft, sabotage, threatening and black mailing friends and family, paying flying monkeys to run incessant interference,...etc. Two things need to be highlighted by lawyers, psychotherapists, and other professional services: 1-all stalkers are mentally ill. Period. Stalking in any form is sick, and exposes the victim to horrifying and dangerous perpetrators/flying monkeys and traffickers, and has hugely debilitating ramifications for the victims, sometimes including murder/death. 2-Coercive control has numerous criminal elements and should be prosecuted. Victims are not being protected because the system supports these types of crimes, which are only becoming more common.

    Divorce lawyer for 30 years, gotta say this, most Divorce Judges come to each case with their mind fully made up. There is so very little “Judging” done, they read the papers and take a position, getting them to first disclose the position, then, changing as necessary that position, is the art of the practise as a Divorce lawyer. My Frank advice to about 85% of litigants is devote your energy to settlement rather than litigation, you will almost certainly get an overall better result.

      @@redandblack1911 Hi Tony, I call them “Re-location” cases. I don’t know your case law on the topic. Depending on whether you’re working for the “relocating” parent or the objecting parent.the relocation is always the “custodial” parent. The real motive/s for relocation are almost infinite, but valid ones are such things as: work, housing, extended family, health. After taking a full history, it’s a matter of collecting admissible evidence, deposing it and then assessing the Responses. I have always read the cases on Hague Convention (International Recovery of Children) with interest. There are often quoted interesting Expert Opinion on the effect of various factors on children. I recall one relocation case where the Judge took the Bench and said words to the effect of “You will have to have a good case to get up on this”. I was acting for a Father seeking an Injunction against a move un-announced by the Mother but foreshadowed by the children. The current Orders were Consent Orders made after my client had succeeded in an Appeal and the matter had been remitted for Re-hearing. We obtained evidence, on subpoena, that the Mother had been negotiating the purchase of the property she now owned and was proposing to move to, while the original Tria AND the Appeal AND the re-hearing were being conducted AND hadn’t disclosed the planned re-location to the Father, the Court or the Children until after the Final Orders were consented to, then only incidentally to the children. In effect, she planned to skip, create a status-quo and stonewall. The Judge granted the Injunction, gave a Costs Order in favour of the Father and granted the Father the right to lodge a Lien on the title of the Mothers property, as security for her compliance with the Orders she had consented to being made.

    My friend's ex, in my opinion, is like a bad cold that never goes away. He's a narcissist that subtlely,, not necessarily coercively controls my friend at the casino. He's also the reason why my friend dosen't show up at the casino alone to hang out with me and my husband

    This is life transforming. The stuck of wanting to be right?! We already are right and we need no more validation from anyone. Move on and create a beautiful life for yourself! ❤

    I think society teaches how toxic behavior is beautiful: it teaches us through movies and social traditions. For example, most people in society would generally describe someone, who I might meet and hear their claim that they "love me and want to marry me and have children with me" (literally from the first sight of seeing me), as very romantic and cute. But this in reality is very abnormal and potentially dangerous. I met many men who are attractive and are instantly love -bombing. And it always felt irresistibly attractive to me. So, I was raised to be attracted to toxic behavior and see it as romantic. One time I met a guy who kept saying to me with emotional tears in his eyes how he loves me so much that he would die for me, kill for me and that he basically loves me to death. Eventually he started saying he would kill anyone who would take me away from him. I am educated enough to know it's not healthy at all. Yet, hearing those words made me feel "loved" and "so special" and more attracted to him. I don't know why I react like this. I am smart and I know I should not be attracted to it. But then, I never had my father's attention, I never had brothers or any siblings, and I was bullied in school by boys who'd call me ugly. I couldn't get help from bullying because I was afraid to tell my parents. I was afraid because they were fighting a lot. I felt isolated and scared, growing up. Suddenly, I meet someone who "cares" so much they'd commit crime just to keep me in their life. It makes me feel important and significant rather than scared - and those are the feelings I never had growing up(the feelings of being important and significant). Hence, love bombing from an attractive street gangsta (who was a drug user and drug seller)😢became absolutely biologically irresistible and addictive to me. However, after reading and hearing tons of information on signs and dangers of love bombing and statistics on homicide among cocaine users, I finally convinced myself that the sweet love-bombing individual was potentially a threat to my own life. I figured that only due to EXTREME amounts of reading and learning so much. I figured it already at the stage of love bombing, while still feeling my own crazy infatuation with that person. I couldn't break my own pull to him. But I forced myself to trick my brain. I told myself to take a break from him(just a two month break and not a break up). And during the break I might clear my mind a little, and convince myself to stay away from that individual on a permanent basis. But that huge amount of self-reflection and learning is possible for me because I generally love to read and learn: I went to school and got two university degrees and I learned to speak three languages. I guess I have very good learning skills that allowed me over many years to become aware of my own trauma bonding experiences, which are also a great factor in becoming "voluntarily" trapped in such dangerous-to-life relationships. But most regular people (who don't have Master's degrees and any reading/learning habits) might not have that ability. 😢
