Why She Keeps Taking You to Court
HIGH CONFLICT EXPLAINED

Another lawyer letter. Another court threat. Here we go again.
You know how this goes. You and your partner spend time, money, and energy going through a whole court process that ends up... usually where you already were.
You've tried giving in. You've tried following orders and doing the right thing. But nothing stops her. The filings keep coming. The legal bills keep climbing. And just when life starts to settle down again, something else comes up. A new complaint. And it starts again.
It's not just the cost, or the time, or even the stress of going to court. It's what it does to the rest of your life. It’s hard to build anything stable when every time things settle down, she comes back and disrupts it.
And you're left asking the same question. Why does it never end? Why does she never stop?
I’m going to be doing a few episodes on court over the next few weeks, and today, I'm to start with that question. Why does she never stop?
