Hey folks,
Hope all is well. I'm looking for some advice on how to handle a mentally/emotionally abusive ex-wife.
Got really upset today as we have separated and she asked me to stop by repeatedly when she had the kids last week. I did go the first time as she caught me off guard. I quickly realized I never should have done that and said no to the rest of the times. She was trying to get me to come over a couple of other days and applying pressure saying she was going to throw my stuff out or having my kids text me on her behalf to ask.
This has come up because she told someone that I came by multiple times a day every day and was just showing up which wasn't true AT ALL. I'm worried she will also try to say the same to a judge when in fact it's the opposite (she kept harassing me).
I have some texts and stuff showing her asking me to come and me saying no over a few days, but I'm wondering if that is enough? What should I be doing to protect myself and avoid he said/she said situations? What has worked for others? Does it even matter during a divorce proceeding?
There has also been abuse from her towards me. That is already difficult enough for me to try to deal with as it's rare the wife is the abusive one so I worry that there will be a bias. I know she knows this and she'll do whatever she thinks she needs to do to come out on top in this situation.
Anyways, curious to see how others may have dealt with this and thanks for reading!
