Male survivor of this stuff here, still experiencing it though... I read the controlling relationship assessment, and it was along the lines of the same questions my psychologist asked me when this all fell apart between my wife and I a couple years back. He asked me if she 'demanded' all these various types of things and I answered along the lines of... 'she never demanded anything really, but she would always offer subtle suggestions as to how I should respond to or handle these things, and would make me suffer if I didn't willingly cave. I also said I believed that she loved me and my best interests at heart so I was willing to sacrifice to keep my wife happy... little did I know then...

This video is good, but it makes me feel sad. It’s another service that a lot of people can’t readily afford, similarly to legal representation. Praying for a miracle in my case and anyone else’s who has the same issue. ❤

Family courts promoting 50 / 50 physical custody takes all the mistrust and he said she said out of the decision process. Same with child support. Keeping everything simple and equitable allows the children to heal.
