That 5 minutes of anger can feel very satisfying…
Until you remember that messages don’t always disappear just because you wish you hadn’t sent them 👀
During separation, emotions can run HIGH. But angry texts, threats, insults or messages sent in the heat of the moment can potentially become relevant later, especially when children, parenting arrangements or other legal issues are involved.
So before you hit send: Put the phone down. Take a breath. Think about whether you’d be comfortable seeing that message again later, maybe even in a statement before the Court.
If you’re dealing with a difficult separation and you’re unsure what you should or shouldn’t be doing, get in touch with our family law team via the link in our bio before the situation escalates 🤳
