You've tried to leave before and gone back, and you're terrified this time won't be different.

When it's good it's really good, and when it's bad it's really bad. And somehow the good always convinces you to stay.

He makes grand gestures, promises change, and you want so badly to believe him. You've fallen for it before and part of you is scared you'll fall for it again.

You feel like you can't think clearly or trust your own memory of events.

When you try to explain your situation to your attorney, the emotion takes over and you can't get the words right.

You watch him stay calm while you fall apart, and somehow you end up looking like the problem.

You're exhausted from protecting yourself, managing the kids, and trying to hold it together while he controls the narrative.

You need someone who understands and helps you recognize the patterns.

You need someone bossy enough to give you a deadline and kind enough to hold your hand while you meet it.

You are ready to be the woman who actually leaves.

If you are in a high-conflict divorce or trying to find the courage to leave, you already know that no one around you fully understands what you are living through. Your friends try, but they don't get it. And the person you're leaving has spent years making sure you doubt yourself.

This is the gap I work in.

I built Her Side of the Story because I have lived this. And I know what it actually takes to get out.
