Apparently documenting the behavior makes me “crazy”. In this same exchange, while telling me I need a “little bit of assistance,” he also put his hands on me, despite an active no-contact order restricting contact between us. And throughout these exchanges, one of his biggest concerns continues to be whether I’m recording, whether I’m posting, and whether his face or our child’s face will be shown. But here’s what I wish the focus was: Our child having peaceful exchanges between two parents. I didn’t start recording because I wanted content. I started recording because I felt safer with a camera on. And eventually I started sharing parts of my story because I realized how many people recognize these dynamics in their own lives. That’s the receipt I hope someone takes from this: When someone calls you “crazy,” don’t get so busy defending yourself that you lose sight of what actually happened. You don’t have to win the argument. You don’t have to convince them. You don’t need their acknowledgment. Stay grounded. Hold your boundaries. Document what you safely can. Because sometimes the most powerful response to “that never happened” is simply having a record of what did 🧾 #coparenting #coparentingwithanarcissist #court #dvawareness #emotionalabuse @LeahLaLa
