Sadly I can relate to much of this. I wrote an article about my experience, but I’m scared to hit publish. My Medium articles were used against me in a custody battle. It was unfair because my ex knew my mental health didn’t impact my parenting.

I was interrogated about my piece on childhood depression and accused of being a suicidal adult (I’m not, and my ex knows that). The court was also upset by an article I wrote about the cost of my court-ordered psych eval my ex requested. I was told I wasn’t allowed to share my results — my own results!
