psych eval

Mine has to take a psych eval before we figure out custody and visitation. How easy is it for these people to fool the psych eval. If my ex can fool the psych eval, then he may get even more rights than I am comfortable with him having. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this?

Also, do not mention to the evaluator he a N or P. They will probably make him do a personality inventory called the MMPI. Its almost 600 questions long. It can tell if someone is manipulating because it asks the same questions over and over worded differently. ~Give a Narc an inch and they become the ruler~ nolongercontrolled

I'm in the middle of the psych eval process. I motioned for it. STBXN, myself and daughter all have to do it. If possible have yourself evaluated by the same psychologist. My N is trying like hell to charm the dr. To death. But in the end he's been caught in lies involving her (dr). Limit ALL contact to email only. Print the emails and have them with you when you see the psychologist. Be honest. Be factual. Your best interest is for your children. Do not get flustered. Make it clear that his lack of boundaries concerns you when he's around the children. You are not trying to take the children away from their father but push for supervised visitation. They can run....but they can't hide. Document. Keep very clear records. I'm in your corner (wink ;)) ~Give a Narc an inch and they become the ruler~ nolongercontrolled

grossot! we need you!

grossot just had a psych eval for her custody battle. BE SURE the evaluator has everything, including the emails and texts that he's sent you. some discussions here may be helpful: http://www.custodyevaluation.com/custodyevaluationdiscussion/index.php?sid=0dfba07f6f65c659a95d7d22698a8b6a http://www.lundybancroft.com/child03.html http://www.ehow.com/how_5364340_prepare-custody-evaluation.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for Narc Victims - Updated Daily "As soon as you feel that crazy sense of walking on eggshells, fending off N-rage, stop.

more nervous

ok. so i read the articles mentioned above and it made me even more nervous. His psych eval can be used against me, and not only will he get off, I could have even less protection. What do you all think?

I'm not sure why you are more nervous or why you feel his eval can be used against you. What have you done that could possibly justify you not being 'protected' as a mother? Listen, this is going to feel like hell. You are going to doubt yourself until the shit hits the fan. He programmed you to think you are the one at fault.It is normal human nature to second guess yourself (evidence you are not a N). But the shit WILL hit the fan. You are acting like your STBXPH has made all the right choices and looks like an angel here! Take care of YOU, stay in therapy and antidepressant (low dose). Pray. Meditate. Whatever you need to do to stay calm and focused. Its not going to be anything you really have to do. These are just tips from my experience. He's going to bury himself. This might take a while but it will be worth it! You are doing all you can do. Stop sweating! I didn't mean to make you more nervous - I'm sorry.

stop making yourself worry!

NO NO NO You have so much ammo - which I would give to the evaluator (copies of course) I seriously doubt it. Just be you and talk about you concerns about your children. How his treatment of you gave you PTSD and that is not good for a mother to have who cares about her kids. He's TOAST mallory. I guarantee she will catch your Psychopath in some lie. He's TOO FULL OF HIMSELF and has put TOO MUCH IN WRITING to wiggle out now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for Narc Victims - Updated Daily "As soon as you feel that crazy sense of walking on eggshells, fending off N-rage, stop.
