Hi all,
I'm a Dad of two boys (7 and 4) and have been in a horrible relationship with their mum, my wife, since it began. I feel I've been the victim of emotional abuse and have began divorce proceedings. I'm wondering does anyone here know the best way to prove emotional abuse?
I have witnesses to her behaviour from my work, but the incident in question happeded two years ago, during lockdown and I fear that's now insubmissable as I've continued to live with her. The abuse has continued and I've received counselling for it - would a counsellor be able to prove the abuse? I am 500 miles from my friends and family and don't want to move out of our house (which we have a joint mortgage on) as I fear it will affect custody. p.s. I live in Scotland, which has slightly different laws I believe.
Anyway, I'm looking for advice on proving emoitonal abuse, any help welcome.
Thanks,
GB
