2:03
you really need to understand the
2:05
importance of documentation so it’s
2:08
really really important because having
2:11
concrete evidence is key key key key key
2:15
narcissist are master manipulators and
2:17
they can be very very convincing in
2:20
court you got to deal with judges where
2:23
they’re coming from okay judges have way
2:27
too many cases on their docket every who
2:30
comes through is calling the other
2:31
person a narcissist they got the big eye
2:34
roll going on you got to like meet them
2:37
where they’re at and all they care about
2:39
is applying the law so you’ve got to
2:42
have concrete documentation you can’t go
2:45
in there tell talking about how the
2:47
other person is a narcissist because
2:49
they’re not going to want to hear about
2:50
that they want to see your documentation
2:52
they want to see facts they want to see
2:54
evidence and you want to apply it
2:57
according to the laws of of wherever it
3:00
is that you live so it’s not just about
3:03
what you say it’s about what you can
3:05
prove with your facts all right so let’s
3:09
say you’re dealing with manipulative
3:11
Behavior All right so let’s say you’re
3:13
dealing with a custody battle The
3:15
Narcissist might try to portray
3:17
themselves as the perfect parent oh you
3:20
know like they want this Halo to be
3:22
glowing from on top of their head and
3:24
they want to say that you’re the the
3:26
deadbeat person or the horrible person
3:28
whatever but they want to say that
3:30
they’re always putting their children’s
3:32
needs first but you know the reality is
3:34
very very different so they cancel
3:36
visitation at the last minute all the
3:38
time they make disparaging comments
3:40
about you in front of the kids they use
3:42
every single opportunity that they can
3:45
to undermine your Authority documenting
3:48
each instance with dates times detailed
3:51
descriptions every time they cancel a
3:54
visit via text save that text every time
3:59
they something disparaging so write down
4:02
the the date the time the cancellation
4:05
the reasons given the impact it had on
4:08
you your children it creates a timeline
4:11
it demonstrates the true Behavior over
4:14
time what’s even better as if you have
4:17
it in some kind of email form or an app
4:21
form something like that so you can put
4:23
the supporting documentation right there
4:26
and then you have a summary of it all
4:28
right there which is even better how
4:31
many times did they cancel in a 4-month
4:34
period 98 custody exchanges they
4:36
canceled 47 times whatever it is what’s
4:40
the percentage of how many times do they
4:42
have they had an opportunity to have
4:45
them x amount of times and then how many
4:47
times did they cancel on that so what
4:50
can you document here are a few key
4:53
things instances of manipulative
4:56
Behavior this is including gaslighting
4:59
you know times that they made you
5:00
question your reality or attempts to
5:03
control you or attempts to isolate you
5:06
then you can actually have samples of
5:09
that summaries of that threats and
5:11
intimidation is number two uh whether
5:13
verbal or written any threats that they
5:16
make including recordings of that are
5:18
great
5:21
inconsistencies lies in their statements
5:23
they often contradict themselves all
5:26
right keep track of those contradictions
5:29
very powerful they said this on August
5:32
7th they said this on December 12th then
5:35
you can match up those statements
5:38
together in a summary very helpful
5:41
emails and text messages save all
5:44
Communications in valuable and showing
5:47
patterns of behavior let’s say the
5:49
nurses has send you a a threatening
5:52
message like I’m going to ruin your
5:54
career I’m going to drive up the fees
5:57
I’m going to make sure that you don’t
5:59
get this settlement I’m going to take
6:01
the business away from you whatever it
6:04
is that they’re saying save this email
6:08
print it out you save it electronically
6:11
you save it in different places because
6:14
it may be that there’s a custody statute
6:16
that it applies to it may be that it
6:18
applies to a partnership agreement or
6:21
whatever it is whatever type of case it
6:24
is that you’re dealing with Note the
6:26
date note the time that it was received
6:29
any subsequent actions that they took
6:31
related to that threat if they follow
6:33
through with the threats document those
6:36
actions as well and then link it back to
6:40
the original threat any inconsistencies
6:43
in their statements narcissist often
6:46
make conflicting statements to different
6:49
people so for example they might tell
6:50
the court they’re always available to
6:54
pick the kids up from school but you
6:56
have emails from them saying they can’t
6:59
make it because of work commitments keep
7:02
a record of those conflicting statements
7:04
highlight the discrepancies show how
7:06
their narrative changes based on what
7:10
suits them at the moment this can
7:13
undermine their
7:15
credibility in court the next thing is
7:18
how do you document effectively you can
7:21
use a journal you can use a log app in
7:24
your phone whatever is most convenient
7:27
for you so that you’re going to just do
7:29
it and trying to do it in real time
7:31
because if you try to go back and
7:33
recreate you’re never going to do it all
7:35
right make sure that you are recording
7:38
the incidents as they are happening as I
7:40
said before dates times detailed
7:43
descriptions recording conversations if
7:45
it’s legal make sure you’re doing that
7:48
too sometimes you you can’t record the
7:51
conversations you can’t play the
7:52
conversations but if you can then do
7:56
that as well sometimes you you can’t
7:58
play it in court but you could play it
7:59
for maybe a custody evaluator or you can
8:03
you know play it for a mediator or
8:04
somebody else in the situation witness
8:07
statements if you have other people who
8:10
have witnessed the person’s Behavior ask
8:13
them to write down what they have seen
8:16
either they can testify to it later or
8:21
maybe they can prepare some kind of
8:22
affidavit depending on if they’re
8:25
available when it comes time for
8:27
proceeding or they’re not available or
8:29
or how far away they live or whatever it
8:31
is but you know start to gather that
8:34
information at the time that their
8:37
memory is still fresh okay next thing is
8:40
journal entries let’s suppose that the
8:44
person that you’re dealing with your
8:45
personal narcissist has a pattern of
8:48
yelling or making threats or doing
8:51
something let’s say during a drop off a
8:53
custody exchange or maybe it’s your boss
8:56
and they’re yelling at you or whatever
8:57
it is every time this happen happens
9:00
immediately write it down and then
9:02
include the date and time and what was
9:04
said and how it affected you or how it
9:06
affected your kids and then over time
9:09
these entries will show a clear pattern
9:13
of abusive Behavior so for example on
9:16
you know June 1st 2024 at 3M during a
9:21
drop off at the school blah blah blah
9:24
name yelled at me in front of our child
9:27
saying I was an unfit parent and yelled
9:29
and said threatened to take custody and
9:32
this level of detail is going to be
9:33
really really crucial for painting a
9:36
clear picture for the court and
9:38
especially if you’re writing it in real
9:39
time it’s really helpful the next thing
9:42
is recording conversations now sometimes
9:45
you won’t be able to play it for the
9:47
court sometimes you can play it for
9:51
custody evaluators other people involved
9:54
with the situation or you can play it
9:56
you know if it’s not a family law matter
9:58
let’s say it’s a
10:00
situation with a boss or whatever there
10:02
may be other people within the ISS the
10:05
situation that you’re in that you might
10:07
be able to play it for next thing is
10:09
witness statements witnesses can
10:12
definitely provide backup verification
10:15
of what it is that you’ve been dealing
10:17
with especially if a person might have
10:19
heard yelling they might have you know
10:21
seen situations friend who’s been
10:24
involved maybe you know piano teachers
10:27
are sometimes good coaches especially
10:29
they they’re like oh on multiple
10:31
occasions I’ve seen fighting I’ve seen
10:35
obscenities being hurled it’s always
10:38
good to have that kind of account from
10:43
other people especially if they are you
10:46
know people who are of sound mind people
10:49
who are good Witnesses who are unbiased
10:52
if this is helpful so far give me a yes
10:56
in the comments give me a yes in the
10:58
comments and if you you are dealing with
11:00
this and you’re documenting n
11:02
narcissistic behavior for court share
11:04
your comments in the comments below your
11:07
stories help others in similar
11:11
situations and if you are needing
11:13
additional support make sure you join my
11:15
free private Facebook group narcissist
11:17
negotiators with Rebecca zung the next
11:20
thing is organizing your documentation
11:23
for court so once you’ve gathered your
11:25
documentation organizing it is super
11:27
crucial here are some ways that you can
11:30
do that first you want to create a
11:31
timeline so you want to chronologically
11:34
arrange your documentation in a way that
11:37
shows a clear pattern of behavior you
11:41
want to label it and index it in a way
11:44
that’s easy to reference and you want to
11:47
prepare a summary so a summary that
11:49
highlights the most critical points of
11:51
the documentation and this it can help
11:53
your attorney present the case really
11:57
effectively too let’s take the timeline
11:59
line piece first so once you um have
12:03
everything and you can lay it out in
12:04
chronological order it helps you and
12:08
your attorney see the progression and
12:11
patterns of the behavior so for example
12:14
if you create a spreadsheet with columns
12:17
for date time type of behavior and the
12:20
notes this visual representation can be
12:24
extremely persuasive in court
12:27
demonstrated a con consistent pattern of
12:32
manipulation or abuse the next thing is
12:35
labeling and indexing so label each
12:38
piece of evidence clearly and sometimes
12:40
you can do it like in terms of this the
12:42
local Statute in your area let’s say
12:45
it’s like the best interest of the child
12:47
statute you can organize it by the
12:51
element of the statute or each section
12:54
of the statute but labeling each piece
12:56
of evidence clearly using labels like
12:59
email one text message two journal entry
13:02
3 creating an index that lists each item
13:05
and provides a brief description that
13:07
makes it so easy for your attorney and
13:09
Court to navigate the documentation I
13:11
help you do this so much in my slle
13:13
program which can check out at
13:16
slaynation tocom and this is so helpful
13:20
threatening email from blah blah blah on
13:23
June 1st 2024 at 3M right so preparing a
13:28
summary is really really really critical
13:32
so that once you have all of your
13:35
documentation in a clear and concise
13:37
manner it helps you save so much money
13:40
and it helps the judge see it all so
13:44
clearly because now it tells the story
13:48
over the past six months n narcissist
13:50
over here has repeatedly cancelled
13:54
visitation at the last minute has made
13:56
disparaging comments in front of my
13:58
children here’s the attached evidence
14:01
and it’s all laid out and you’ve got
14:03
this summary and it helps your attorney
14:06
quickly reference the most critical
14:08
points so remember documenting
14:11
narcissistic behavior can be the key to
14:16
winning your face that is how you
14:20
present the truth that is how you
14:22
protect your loved ones that is how you
14:25
protect yourself that is how you get
