It starts subtly.

Your ex paints themselves as the "protective parent" while casting doubt on your parenting abilities.

Suddenly, you're defending yourself against accusations that seem to come out of nowhere, and worse - your children are starting to believe the narrative.

If you're watching your relationship with your children change while feeling powerless to stop it, you're not alone.

Many parents face this heart breaking situation, but here's what most don't realise: these aren't random acts - they're often part of a calculated pattern of high-conflict behaviour.

Our High Conflict Personality Test was developed specifically to help parents like you:

- Identify manipulation tactics being used against you
- Understand how high-conflict personalities operate in custody battles
- Recognise early warning signs of parental alienation
- Learn proven strategies to maintain your parent-child bond

When you complete the assessment, you'll receive our invaluable guide:

"5 Steps to Handle High-Conflict Exes in Court" FREE. This resource gives you:
- Documentation strategies that hold up in court
- Communication techniques that protect you legally
- Methods to maintain healthy boundaries
- Ways to support your children through the conflict

Don't wait until the damage to your parent-child relationship becomes harder to repair.

Knowledge is your strongest defence, and understanding what you're dealing with is the first step toward protecting your family.

I journal every day. Multiple times a day. Whenever I get an insight, recognise a false belief or feel a bit wobbly (technical term :)).

In fact I have about 30 full journals in my bookcase! I started them in 2015, just as I was coming out of the relationship which lead me here.

I felt I couldn't talk to anyone about it out of guilt, shame, confusion. A journal was safe. It was private. I could write whatever without fear of being judged.

Writing really helped me. It let me process things, writing pages and pages until I found peace.

Some days I didn't have much to write but I still sat down to do it. That in itself was part of the healing - taking time for myself can be uncomfortable for a people-pleasure who needs to feel they are helping something. This was my way of telling myself I mattered. That it was OK to put myself first, even if only for a few minutes at first.

I reach for my journal whenever I feel anything now. If I feel happy, I want to savour it with words. If I feel confused I want to log my thought process until I find clarity. If I feel sad or angry, I write it down so that I am acknowledging the feeling without letting it take over me.

A £3 journal really can make a huge difference when you are on your recovery journey from narcissistic abuse.

Narcissists don't "tell the truth". They simply allow the truth to exist as long as the truth serves its purposes. If truth becomes inconvenient, it's just changed to some alternative truth - people refer to this as lies.

This is what makes it so hard to read them and to keep a grasp on reality. Truth and lies become so entangled that you are never sure what is real and what is illusion.

Once you come out of the fog, you can be overwhelmed with questions. Was that real? Did that happen? Why did they say that? Many people seek answers from the narcissist but that only muddies the water more and gives them a sense of power and control over you again.

My advice is to focus on what you know is fact and build from there. Focus on your own truths.

Crystals are a great way to strengthen your protection against negative and unwanted energy. I personally use black tourmaline which is good for connecting with the centre of the earth, creating a feeling of safety and security, while also protecting your auric field. You can also use obsidian, black onyx and selenite.

I have them around the house and try to remember to charge them by the moon. Their energy is really comforting and adds an extra layer of protection. Plus kids love rocks and stones so they will carry them with them happily!

You know the truth of what's happening, but somehow your ex has everyone convinced of a completely different reality.

The mediator seems swayed by their version of events.

Your own lawyer sometimes questions your perspective.

Even your closest friends occasionally wonder if you're overreacting.

That questioning of your own reality?

That's exactly what gaslighting feels like in family court.

The most dangerous part of dealing with a high-conflict personality in court isn't just their behaviour - it's how skillfully they can convince others that you're the problem.

While you're trying to play by the rules and be reasonable, they're crafting a narrative that systematically undermines your credibility and paints you as the unstable one.

The High Conflict Personality Test was developed by family court experts who understand these devastating dynamics.

This comprehensive assessment helps you understand the sophisticated manipulation tactics being used against you in court.

You'll gain clarity on why traditional legal approaches often backfire and learn to recognise the warning signs of gaslighting before they damage your case.

With your results, you'll receive our invaluable guide "5 Steps to Handle High-Conflict Exes in Court" at no cost.

This essential resource shows you how to document gaslighting behaviours in a way courts understand, maintain your credibility with legal professionals, and protect yourself from manipulation during proceedings.

You'll discover proven strategies for presenting your truth effectively and maintaining your emotional stability even when your reality is being questioned.

Stop doubting yourself and start understanding the dynamics at play.

Knowledge is your strongest defense against gaslighting in family court. Take the quiz now and gain the insights you need to stand firm in your truth.

Because you deserve to be heard and believed in court.

Healing is not easy.

But it is better than the alternative.

Some days I feel exhausted by all the healing work I have done and continue to do. I just want to be "healed". I don't always want to respond from a regulated state! Why can't I just throw a tantrum?!

Of course I can just throw a tantrum if I want and every now and again I do but the difference is that I am observing it. I am not carried away by it. I am with my body and my mind and my emotions every step of the way.

Which is what all the hard work was about.

I remember struggling to deal with my big emotions and have, on a couple of occasions, taken my anger out on printers and hoovers.

I had bottled it up for so long, as long as I can remember actually, that it finally had to come out and when it did it was explosive. I didn't like that very much. I felt ashamed and embarrassed that I felt so strongly.

All of which is of course conditioning. Years of being told or made to feel that my feelings don't matter, that they are inappropriate and irrelevant.

It's only natural I didn't know what to do with them. But through healing, I can now throw that tantrum and love myself unconditionally as I do.

Without any judgement or shame.

That's the gift of healing and it's how therapy can help.

Who are we?

I set up The Nurturing Coach after a life-changing encounter with a narcissist. I searched for support and struggled to find anything which really resonated with me and so I decided to create what I had needed.

To me The Nurturing Coach represents the lighthouse in your storm.

You may have just spotted the huge wave coming and so are searching for answers - we got you.

The wave may have hit and you are floundering about, unsure how and if you will make it to safety - we got you.
