After a year long process we had a 2 day divorce trial. My ex had his mother testify about how great of a dad he is. He had his new girlfriend sitting in the room the second day. It was extremely triggering. As I wait now for the judges ruling (likely within 30 days but could be up to 60) I’m realizing how the tools for nervous system regulation helped a lot with staying calm which helped me testify in a calm and truthful way. It helped me sit calmly while listening to lies about me be told, and with the anxiety of loss of control trial brings. This has been a very difficult year but I’ve grown so much and so glad to be putting this all behind me.
