Psychological Disorders That You Will Develop After A Custody Battle


You used to be a totally normal woman, but then you were hit with the most difficult and painful thing that ever happened to you. You didn't know how to deal. You broke down. You were accused of being crazy. It made you crazy. You're now feeling kind of broken.
Congratulations, you are now part of the Custody Battle PTSD Club. Here are some of the psychological disorders that you may now possess, that you didn't possess before:
Anxiety: You can't stop worrying about everything. What's coming next? Am I going to lose everything? Will my kids hate me? How am I going to pay for this? Why is nobody listening to me?! 
Panic Attacks: This one is dark. You're overwhelmed with emotions and you can't. Stop. Crying. Your throat feels like it's closing up. Your stomach hurts. The tears roll down your cheeks uncontrollably. You start to hyperventilate. You can't make it stop!!!!
Paranoia: Is that car following me? Is she really my friend or is she spying for him? Will my [insert benign thing that can be blown out of proportion] be used against me? How did he know that?! Am I hacked??
Depression: This is hopeless. I don't want to get out of bed. What's the point? I can't keep going. I have no energy.
Suicidal Ideation: I can't do this anymore. I just want to go to sleep and never wake up. It's too painful. I have nothing to live for.
Shame: Everybody knows my business. Everyone is judging me. I don't want to show my face in public. I just want to hide.
Guilt: I could have/should have done this/that differently. It's all my fault. My kids are suffering because of me.
Adjustment Disorder:  my life is changing every single day and so rapidly. I can't keep up. I can't adjust this quickly to my new normal.
Borderline Personality Disorder: This one is often a misdiagnosis based on the normal behavior you portray when you don't know how to react to your situation. I'm fine, really! No I'm not fine. I feel horrible. I'm putting on a happy face, but my eyes are terrified and shifty. I'm so scared people are judging me so I act nervous nervous awkward. I know I look like a crazy person right now, but I'm trying not to and it's making it worse.
PTSD: Everything was fine today and then something triggered me, and now I'm an emotional mess and I can't function. I'm not OK.
Remember, it's OK not to be OK.....

Why I Do Not Have Custody

Disclaimer: As part of my commitment not to disparage the children's father, I will omit and gloss over some facts and details but I will attempt to tell the story as accurately as I possibly can. The events that transpired can only be rationalized as fate because at every turn, a different decision could have changed the entire outcome. I often question why God allowed this to happen, but my faith is strong and I believe that God has a plan that we do not understand. When I filed for divorce in 2015, I asked for full custody with the father having every other weekend, and one night a week. I was conditioned to believe that this was a standard custody arrangement, because this is what society teaches us is the standard custodial arrangement. I was unhappy in the marriage, but divorce was never a serious option. It did cross my mind, but I don't think I would have ever gone through with it. I truly believe that we would have overcame the bumps in our marriage and still be ...

When Walking Away Seems Like An Option

I learned something very interesting from a business coach and I couldn't help compare it to the position non-custodial parents are put in. She said that when people begin to feel insignificant in their job, they begin to feel a lack of motivation to even wake up in the morning. They don't leave jobs because the job is too hard, they leave because the job has left them empty, and it's no longer worth it.  Non-custodial parents are often left with zero obligation (notwithstanding financially) or parental autonomy. Sometimes they can't take their kids to the doctor. Sometimes they can't do anything with their kids without permission or supervision.  In order for people to feel pride in their work, they need to feel like their input matters. They need to feel like their work is productive and fruitful. They need to find meaning in their work.  Giving one parent custody, usually means releasing the other parent of any autonomy or responsibility whatsoever. When you redu...

Jekyll and Hyde

It is not your imagination. Your children DO act differently with you than they do with their father! I saw this first hand recently when my daughter was hysterical about something. I'm talking full blown meltdown, screaming, and threatening to call her dad. I don't usually respond to these outbursts, but in this case I impulsively hit the call button and handed her the phone. She panicked and quickly ended the call, and went back to being hysterical....but then everything changed when he called back. Within a SECOND her entire demeanor changed from hysterical level 9 drama to completely calm, quiet, and collected. Not a tear in sight!!! "Why did you call?", he asked suspiciously (he hardly speaks to the children when they are with me). "Uhh, I just called to say hi", she said casually.  I sat there in shock with my mouth agape, smacking my forehead with the palm of my hand and internally screaming. I couldn't understand how she went from hysterical, cry...
