How to Be Strategic on the Battlefield of Child Custody
When you’re fighting for your child against a narcissist, it’s all about strategy versus emotion.
If you’re battling to protect your child in the family court system, it’s important that you understand how essential it is to operate from a place of strategy rather than emotion.
What Does “Strategy” Mean in the Context of Family Court?
Narcissistic abuse is traumatizing. So naturally, we’ll have strong emotions as we work to protect our children in family court.
But when we bring those emotions onto the battlefield, we present a picture to family court professionals. We are presenting as:
Unhealthy or toxic
Complicit in the “high conflict” dynamic
Bitter or vengeful, rather than protective
Using strategy simply means that we remove our emotions from all things court-related, and use strategies to make sure that court professionals see that we are actually:
Healthy and stable
NOT contributing to the “high conflict” dynamic
Seeking productive resolution, rather than bitter or vengeful
