If you’ve ever been pulled into court proceedings you didn’t choose — or felt the fear, stress and uncertainty that come with them — this episode will help you feel less alone. Anna shares her experience of navigating the family court system as a stepmum, and the emotional toll it took on her, her husband and the children caught in the middle.
In this episode, Katie talks to Anna* — a stepmum of two boys, with two younger sons of her own — about what it was really like when her husband’s ex attempted to gain custody of their children. Anna opens up about the court process itself, the pressure it placed on their blended family, and the ripple effects long after the verdict was delivered.
This episode is an honest, grounded look at the reality of high-conflict co-parenting, the strain of court involvement, and what it takes to come out the other side.
Not her real name.
