When He Can't Let Go...

What happens when separation does not end the control—it simply moves online? This episode examines a December 2025 trial brief built from an extraordinary collection of Autumn Manelick’s social-media posts, private emails, employment applications, business agreements, purchases, bank records, and personal ambitions. Her former husband’s legal team used that digital dossier to challenge her reported disability and financial hardship while seeking money directly from her share of the marital escrow. As nearly every movement of her post-separation life is tracked, compiled, and presented in court, the episode asks: Where is the line between legitimate discovery, obsessive surveillance, litigation abuse, and coercive control by an alleged abuser who refuses to stop watching? Or worse? Forces his alleged victim to pay his legal fees for his attorney to stalk her social media for him?
