Cross examination
I'm coming to the end of 4 years stuck in family court (England), battle with ex over custody. Ex is abusive, has strong narc traits and very good at playing low level consistent subtle abuse. Our final hearing is in a months time and I'm so stressed and anxious about it, I'm not sleeping through the night, and not concentrating at work. It's like all I can do is parent and even with that I feel like I'm failing.
Has anyone been cross examined and have any tips please? I have no poker face, ex lawyer is a prick so I know he will say awful things to me, just to provoke me. They said they want to cross examine me for 3 hours!
My lawyer says she will stop them trying to destroy me, but ultimately a judge will decide what is and isn't allowed.
Any tips on how to survive this?
