5:52 I bet every divorce attorney would appreciate a short orientation video for the clients explaining which lane they need to be whilst in the attorney’s office… That three-lane analogy is GOLD.
It would save both parties a lot of time, and wouldn’t exasperate the attorney who doesn’t want to be the client’s therapist, and the client wouldn’t spend so much in attorneys fees/stress. The court doesn’t want emotion.
I learned that here in WA, DV advocates cannot speak for survivors in court any longer… we must defend ourselves, which is jack because the part of our brain most affected by this type of abuse is the LANGUAGE part, making not only the paperwork part difficult, but speaking to a judge IN FRONT of your abuser and even answering direct questions from them would send anybody with CPTSD into pre-frontal cortex shutdown and activate the survival brain which says RUN! Don’t talk!
It’s so wrong how everything is backward and inverted right now.
Hopefully the new year will right itself 🌎
I didn’t know he was a narcissist and he did the Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde thing (changed personalities for the worse, sorry, it was an American show a long time ago) when we got divorced.
I was just so floored at the things he did and said and couldn’t understand what was happening or who he had become.
He turned our daughter against me and I haven’t heard back from her for four years. She won’t talk to her brother, our son either, because he ran away and is “on my side.”
I don’t really know if she’s alive and he won’t reply to me either.
Self-isolated and over a decade later, I realize how he also f*ed me financially and I’m still wrapped in chains. (Homeless, broke, traumatized. Tryin to stand back up, meanwhile, I’ve learned so much from therapy, support groups and studying for 3 years that I’ve taken over continuing our support group after the initial 8-10 week session ended.)
I need housing and we need a place to meet. I would like to continue this work.
I went through the same.. I went to court in a "macho society" and everything turned upside down..Took 9 years..Very exhausting... They never loose a case I guess..Was long ago though..
Great video! This is vital information in a nutshell for anyone going through the horror of divorcing a narcissist. I was in Court with mine only three weeks ago after three and half years of trying to reach a financial settlement before I can finally divorce him. Caroline, you are spot on about Mediation - waste of time, money and can be extremely triggering. I also wish I’d know about McKenzie Friends earlier but I’m very lucky to have found a switched on Family Lawyer who recognised the narcissistic patterns of abuse from my ex and insisted we go to Court. Finding a good Barrister is key (your lawyer will recommend a few). Mine had previously worked on Domestic Abuse cases. And don’t be put off by how long they passed the Bar. The younger newly qualified ones are keen to make a good impression. Be organised; I spent months preparing paperwork, researching and working on myself (exercising, meditating, fresh air and getting plenty of sleep when I could). It’s vitally important that you remain composed in Court - the Barrister will do the talking but the judge will be watching your behaviour like a Hawk. True to form my ex’s mask completely fell off when he interrupted the Judge and he showed his wicked and selfish ways to the Court room. Thankfully, we finally came to an agreement over the finances and the relief I felt leaving that Court was a moment I will never forget!! Mostly because I felt completely vindicated. I’m recovering from cPTSD and I have a way to go rebuilding my relationship with my kids but there IS light at the end of the tunnel and you will live a peaceful, happy life again ❤️
