    I was naive and broke when I left my narcissistic (ex)husband. He ended up getting primary custody during mediation because he convinced me that I was unfit and I didn’t want to only see my children every other weekend. I agreed to give him primary so that I could have them 2 days a week. Long story short, HE was the one unfit. My children were being emotionally abused and were failing school. It took me 2 long hard years of gathering evidence and fighting, plus almost 20k for court costs and a private investigator, but I finally got primary custody last week!!! To make it even sweeter, HE gave ME custody during mediation because his lawyer and the guardian basically told him there was no way he was getting custody after all the dirt I had found. Now it’s time for my children and I to heal and move forward.

      Congratulations! Would you like to share what evidence you got and how? I'm happy in USA there is some justice. In Norway nobody cares about evidence. Only random people's opinions that matters incourts there. And of course, the famous barnevernet opinion. Unfortunately the employees there are not qualified to work with children even.

    THIS is EXACTLY what I needed to hear, unfortunately, divorce happened 5 years ago, and it’s been a nightmare, to say the least. Parental alienation at its finest and so much more hurtful situations that aren’t only hurting me, but so much more sadly, hurting our 4 children. I pray for him every day. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    I feel this in my soul. I just lost a custody case because of a "uppidy" mother of the father of my child whom threatened me for years ( since before his birth) that they knew everyone in the court system so they would win no matter what. I got sick of the control that did nothing but harm my child, so I went to an attorney for court proceedings several years later. I paid him then waited 7 months for my attorney to file (who never did anything until the week before the court date issued by the father's attorney). I ended up receiving all the court docs from my ex's attorney which I then had to drop off the paperwork at my attorney's office, and I am convinced that he was paid off to not do a dang thing. I am mad, but I believe they never expected to get him full time when I was taking 50% of the responsibilities. well being

    I literally just got restrained from my children by husband who is a known abuser and was even arrested and charged for abusing me, also a known drug addict. I have been the childrens primary caretaker their whole lives and my husband has never helped with my kids. The one thing I did wrong was try and leave the marriage and fled a domestic violence situation. The courts are now siding with him because he says I’m just “crazy” and a “flight risk” we live in a backwards small town where his grandfather was the mayor. I don’t know how to get my babies back they are two and four and want to be THEIR mom. I just don’t understand. I even asked for 50/50. Filed for divorce and he said no I can’t have any custody and refuses to divorce me. This is is insanity. I have a beautiful home for my children and he lives with his parents who have controlled my children and husband from the beginning. Sorry for sharing this, but I’ve gone through every avenue possible to get out of this biased court and to no avail. I’ve lost my whole world and would do anything to protect my babies and he won’t he even allow phone contact with my children. I did nothing wrong and have proven this to the courts. Anyone have any suggestions? Running out of money and recourses, but a drug addict and known abuser should not have full custody of children. He even sent in a forged hair follicle test and the courts over looked it. :( my heart is just broken.

      @@lifeistooshort8934 we went through mediation which was a f in mess all he wanted to do was talk about the past but I already forgave him months ago and I figured it was all water under the bridge. He wants to look good on paper but in real life ha what a joke! We went to court like 3 more times before we had to do a evidentiary hearing I turned in all my paper work and him.... Yup you guessed it NOTHING, but at the end I have 100% physical custody which thank goodness. He has joint legal custody I am ok with thar for now because I am going to take my time and prove to the courts why he don't deserve to have that. It was finalized on the 29th with his weekly over night being the 30th and he would have to bring the boys to school the next day. When I asked him I he was going to do that his reply was until I get the order in front of me.... blah blah blah. Urg then this Friday was 1 of our sons IEP because he has ADHD and both the IEP teacher emailed him called and texted AND it was not during his work hours. He still failed to show up! Litterly I had to call my older estate daughter and calm myself down so I wouldn't have to call his girlfriend and be like "oh I love my kids right?" Or even just not to call him and be like ahhhhh. When my daughter told me "mom, you don't have to prove anything to anyone we already know" here I have been spending the last 10 months providing myself to the courts child protective services from him that I forgot to believe in what I already know! Did you know like 6 hours after court was over he had the nerve to ask how do you want to do taxes this year do you want to claim 1 and I claim the other??????? I was like dude you don't have physical custody (mind blown!) and plus even if we had joint which we DO NOT IRS says the one who makes the most money claims them lol um thats me I work anywheres between 107 to 123 hours a pay period. Now sents his child support got dropped HOW do I get him to pay for his portion of things 1 son is able to do drivers trainer at the end of this month he needs braces and he is in high school band for crying out loud. I do it all by myself. He needs to help!

      @alpha6games751 Před 2 lety

      @Don't Get Pregnant. excuse me? First off Men love there kids just as much as mothers. SOME men would be accurate. Secondly a father can’t just take the kids or get full custody without substantial and solid proof of many things. Fathers loose custody battles 80% of the time and usually they don’t even get 50\50. So for a father to gain full custody he would have to have proof of some serious issues or threats to the children and their well being. Accusations are one thing and mental stability and proving disorders are also extremely hard to prove in court for many reasons. You can’t just make an accusation about someone having a mental disorder etc. That will work against you in court not FOR you. They view it as mud slinging and being petty.

    “Your own personal terrorist” is precisely how it feels! There has been a therapist and a supervisor in my case who have both said my ex wants me dead and will stop at nothing to “win” (ie take the kids away from me). But they both also understand that unless he’s an ax murderer on death row, he will still have rights to the kids as long as he wants to exercise that form of control. So sick.

  • @coreyanderson7424
    @coreyanderson7424 Před rokem +1

    I think that if a parent is not having to already deal constantly with a narc ex, that they should not file for custody, if they don't have to. If the Narcissist is leaving the other parent and kid(s) alone, and isn't really involved much, than, it may be best to not go after custody. Because, if someone does that, then it's virtually guaranteed that the Narcissist will get legal rights to the kid(s). And, unsupervised time. Unfortunately it's really hard to prove emotional and psychological abuse

But since he’s been gone we were co parents and I’m thinking it’s all good until he took them and wouldn’t give them back and calling Defac on me for no reason and trying to make me loose my place. I’m moving on and the fact that he is married now I thought he was to now. Since I should just be so happy he still apart of their life tell why all the bs for no reason and like I said all I wanted to do was co parent

    I need help. I live in Lehigh, my ex is a narcissist. He has everyone fool. The judge granted his petition for the majority of custody for our children. We had a GAL chosen by his lawyer that he apparently had in his pocket. Her report omitted interviews and anything that made him seem negative, her report was 40 pages of what a horrible mom I am and what a super dad he is. She took over a year to complete the report, there were two, three DCF investigations before her report was completed. The DCF investigation was closed two weeks before the GAL’s report was closed, but she omitted that too.
    He called DCF three times once in 2015, 2020, and 2021, all three times I was cleared.
    All because I had the nerve to ask for a different school location. We have had 50/50 co-parenting until now. He has the last word on everything. I have no rights over our children. He lives in a gated community in an affluent town, Estero, lies about how much he makes so now I have been ordered to pay him child support which is pretty much one of my paychecks. When we got divorced I was making $13.00 an hour and never got a penny from him. I went back to school and made myself better. PLEASE HELP. I am at the end of my rope. I had always had Medicaid for the kids but because I grew professionally, I was placed in the Florida Kidscare Program. I paid for the kids dental and he never paid anything towards this alleging he had them covered under a basic plan. He lies about everything, he convinces everyone he is victim. Please help me.
    He has been lying about how much he makes for the last 6 years. He bullies me nonstop, he even admitted that he refuses to coparent with me and yet he gets custody? Since the judgement I am getting several emails harassing me, threatening me with not allowing my children to call me because they get upset because they can't see me. I am on a verge of having a nervous breakdown. I have work really hard to provide for my children, only to have this man take them away.
    I have been a teacher for over 15 years and went back to school to grow professionally to offer my children a better life. He constantly lies, manipulates and can’t stop himself from hurting me through our children. All I wanted is a fair school location. We had a hearing because he wants to take our children to Holland. I do not trust this man, he lies constantly. How do I know he'll be back? he is not a U.S citizen, he's here on a green card plus no family here. H
    You sent
    his house went into foreclosure and because the market is the way it is he was able to sell his house and is now moving. I only found out because the kids told me. He is not working and of course I am paying him child support. He has lied about everything.

      My child's daughter is a Narcissist and a lawyer also. I went to him as my Attorney and that's how my daughter was conceived. To make a long story short, he wanted nothing to do with the pregnancy, so I bought him before the Court. Now that the Paternity test says that he is her father, he tries to get Custody, so he would not pay a cent. Try appealing to the Court and get a different lawyer.

  • @alpha6games751
    @alpha6games751 Před 2 lety

    A narcissist that has custody does this same thing tho. They know the children are you’re trigger as well and use it to manipulate and gaslight you. They use them as leverage. Narc mothers essentially love custody because they feed off the control over the child they have and attention but also the control they have over the father who has very little power or rights. My sons mother is a covert narc and she uses him as an emotional rock because she can get the attention and loyalty she craves by manipulating him. Not all narcs “don’t want children”. It’s just they don’t really care the same way you do.

  • @TexasOffroadAdventures
