REPLAY: Tactical Group Meeting - May 23, 2026

This was a support group meeting for men going through or recovering from high-conflict divorces, where participants shared their experiences and challenges. Jude facilitated the meeting and introduced new members, including Andrew from South Carolina who is currently navigating a difficult divorce with a 7-year-old daughter and dealing with allegations of domestic violence. John, Brad, and other experienced members provided advice to Andrew about documentation, setting boundaries, and protecting himself legally. The group discussed strategies for coping with high-conflict ex-spouses, including the importance of not enabling harmful behavior, maintaining documentation of incidents, and focusing on protecting oneself and one's children rather than trying to change the other person. New members Jonathan from the UK and Naveen from California also shared their situations, with Jonathan dealing with child custody issues in the UK and Naveen struggling with depression and hopelessness after 5.5 years of toxic divorce proceedings. The conversation ended with discussions about self-care strategies, including finding purpose through values-based living, seeking professional support, and using exercise as a coping mechanism, with members offering encouragement about the importance of not giving up and continuing to fight for a healthy future.
