Blamers Who Call CPS, Minimizing Contact with HCPS, and Quiet HCPs
More Listener Questions!
In this episode, Megan and Bill answer your questions on high-conflict topics that matter to you, including:
- How do you stop a high conflict person from calling state authorities on you? No prosecutor will charge my ex with filing a false police report. I’m already suing in civil court for damages, but this outcome will take years to conclude and she’s still making threats to call the police.
- Is minimizing contact with an HCP ever acceptable? Are there any circumstances where it might actually be what you would recommend? What is your take on long term abuse of power, and whether or not it’s ever ok to draw a line and say, “I’m just going to go minimal contact so I can maximize the energy I can spend with our kids”?
- Can you discuss how high conflict people may present and not normally yell and scream or argue?
