392. Jocelyn - Pt 2 of 2 Pts - Coercive Control, Family Court Nightmares & Fighting to Protect Her Child After Leaving

This story comes with warnings.

There are descriptions of cruel violence, coercive control, high-conflict co-parenting, family court appearances, financial abuse, and trauma bonding. These can be triggering for some listeners.

If this episode becomes too intense, stop and do what is best for you.

This is part two of a two-part story.

Jocelyn is a mother, make-up artist, and domestic violence survivor.

She has spent several years navigating the process of leaving an abusive relationship as well as what can happen after leaving. What she has endured in the legal system is the stuff of nightmares.

Jocelyn's story includes coerce control, high-conflict co-parenting, family court, financial abuse, litigation abuse, and the toll of both protecting a child and rebuilding her life.

Her story is complicated, but it's worth your time so you see uniting with an abusive person can be more than you want to handle.
