Sort of inspired by another thread, but actually by many similar threads over the years, I thought it might bnteresting to have a thread where women who have come out the other side where their ex has accused them of all sorts, threatened all sorts, but then, when it gets to mediation or court his lies and narcissistic behaviour all falls apart. I think these men are so good at twisting their ex partners in knots that often these women feel like they can't push back becuase the judge will believe his lies. So maybe a few stories could help?
My example is from a friend. Ex had affair when youngest was tiny. Screwedher financially, didn't pay maintenance and seldom adhered to contact. Plus accused HER of causing problems if, for example, she didn't rush back home to take the kids when he decided to drop them 4 hours early. Then he wanted to go on a 2 week holiday with new girlfriend and kids and my friend said no way - the youngest in particular would not have coped and barely knew his dad. He ranted and raged and threatened court... she was terrified but stood her ground.
The judge laughed at him. Said that if and when he acould adhere to the agreed schedule of EOW and one weeknight, THEN perhaps, she'd agree he could take the DC for 2 weeks.
Any other such positive stories?!
