Recognizing Spiritual Abuse...

Lesnik Family Law: Where Children Come First- backs Jacob Slavin of the Carolina Hurricanes for all of the work that he does to protect children from human trafficking! Thank you for all the work you do to protect the least of these!

It is always an honor to sponsor this event and get to see so many broken women heal and come together in community! Love you ladies!

Thank you to Lesnik Family Law for being the Worship Music Sponsor for our He Makes All Things New Women’s Retreat. We are so incredibly grateful for them, their support of Called to Peace Ministries, and the women we serve. Please join us in expressing our gratitude to them by leaving them a clap 👏 or a message in the comments.

Tiffany Lesnik with Lesnik Family Law shares, "There is something sacred about the Called to Peace Retreat. I think it is the genuine raw emotion and pain that women bring with them and lay at the feet of Jesus when they come for a weekend of escape, renewal, and peace.

"No one wants to leave. We are as close to Christ (and each other) that weekend as we can be here on Earth and no one wants to leave on Sunday. Tears are shed and we anticipate the following year when we can all be together again (as sisters) who share a sacred bond in our experiences, our pain, our brokenness.

"Matthew 18:19-20 says that, ‘when two or more are gathered in my name, I am there.’ We can feel Him abundantly at the CTPM Retreat and we don't want to separate from the peace that only He can bring.

"The Lord is doing something special through this ministry and it is my privilege to be able to serve the Lord by bringing women together in numbers through my sponsorship so that healing, freedom, redemption, and transformation can occur by and through His presence. The Lord gave me freedom and joy despite my brokenness, despite my abusive marriage, and stubborn heart, and I want to be able to share that hope with others."

"Please join me at the Called to Peace Ministries' (CTPM) He Makes All Things New Women's Retreat in Lake Junaluska, NC, May 2-5. This retreat is for survivors of domestic abuse or childhood sexual abuse and those who desire to walk alongside them.

Abuse, Betrayal, and Deception cut like a knife—they destroy the core of our being, producing fear, shame, and a sense of unworthiness; we are left with a belief that we are not loveable. But God calls us “His Beloved.” He delights in us, and invites us to know His deep, life-changing love. It is a love that overcomes fear, anxiety, and shame.

Join me for a long weekend and discover just how powerful it is to know our great God’s love. Know our God's great love and walk into the freedom and peace that He offers.

Sound of Freedom set out to sell 2 million tickets to represent the 2 million children trafficked every year. As of today, Sound of Freedom has sold 10 million tickets and earned $100 million in the US box office.

This is a monumental feat and a giant step forward in shedding light on the darkness of child trafficking, so please don't let the momentum stop here. The fight to end child trafficking is much bigger than this film—it's a worldwide movement that requires collective effort, collaboration, and a united front. This is just the beginning.

WHAT HOLIDAY SCHEDULE SHOULD I AGREE TO IN A COURT ORDER OR PARENTING AGREEMENT?

Many parents are quick to alternate holidays or give too much time to the other parent without giving careful consideration to what the children enjoy and look forward to each year. When I am asked...how should I divide holiday time? My response is usually - tell me about your traditions and how you like to spend the holidays. What holidays are important to you? What holidays can you live without? Are there cultural considerations at play? Perhaps your spouse is Jewish or Muslim and you are not. What might be important to them and their cultural heritage?

While the courts may try to apply a "one size fits all" schedule to a holiday schedule, each family has to customize a schedule that feels right for them. Think about what traditions matter to you, what traditions matter to your children and try to put forward a holiday schedule that keeps those traditions and schedules in mind.

My family and I did a HUGE Christmas Eve party every year with all of our friends, neighbors, and family that me and my children loved. I made sure that I had my children every Christmas Eve. My ex was from a different country, so I traded Christmas Eve to ensure that he had the holiday that meant something to him.

Just because a "typical" schedule had parents alternating Christmas did not mean that it was appropriate for our family to adopt an alternating Christmas schedule. Be thoughtful about holidays and special occasions. These are times when memories are made for children. It will either be a time for reflection and joy or pain and acrimony.

We want to be creating beautiful memories for our children so take some time to think about what traditions you want to fight for when crafting a holiday schedule that will last at least the first eighteen years of their lives and hopefully a lifetime.

It's Post-Separation Legal Abuse, Not High Conflict Divorce Abusers torment their exes through the courts in a form of coercive control.

Is your custody case in the tank? Are you losing your children to your abusive co-parent and you are not sure why? I am happy to help you turn your case around! Having gone through a DV relationship, high conflict custody litigation, post-separation abuse, coercive control and being a family law attorney for over a decade, I know what the courts are looking for to give you that advantage. I also know what I did wrong and can help you avoid making the same mistakes so that you can protect your children.

Communication is key! Communication is one of the most prevalent forms of evidence used in family court to this day. Communication can also cause your case to sink or swim.

I am happy to review your communications - whether through text, Gmail, Our Family Wizard, Talking Parents, etc. and provide you with feedback that will help turn your case around.

Currently offering a one hour review with a one hour call to discuss next step strategies for a flat fee of $300 (that is $150 per hour with an experienced domestic violence, high conflict custody, domestic violence attorney). That deal is too good to pass up!

With what you are paying in legal fees, isn't that worth the money to change the lives for you and your children long term?

Please contact Megan at [email protected] to set up your review today.

This service is offered statewide across the United States as I am not offering specific legal advice that is limited to the state of NC but instead offering behavior changes that I have seen become successful time and time again.

Should you include your child's birthday as part of a Parenting Agreement or Custody Order in high conflict cases? My answer professionally and personally is always and forever will be NO!

Having watched my own children go through a divorce and get passed back and forth on holidays and special occasions, I was able to gain insight from them as they became older. They have shared with me that their birthdays were the only special occasions that had positive meaning and were not filled with bad memories, because it was the only day that was "for them" and was not about me and their dad. They remember many other holidays filled with fighting (mostly their dad) or crying (mostly me). There is something about holidays and special events that brings out the worst in narcissists. I think it is because they are no longer the center of attention.

For my children, their birthday(s) were the only day that we did share. Whoever had custody on that day, had custody of the children. Dad would usually throw a party the weekend before and I would throw a party the weekend after. The day of - was usually with family and the weekend parties were for friends. So, my kids ended up having three parties, lots of presents, attention and fun! It was the one time were there was no fighting and it created special memories for them not spoiled memories.

And don't attend birthday parties together! If there is tension or a fight that is all that your child will remember. They won't remember the cool Super Mario themed snacks and decor that you worked on tirelessly for weeks or the homemade cake that you put blood, sweat and tears into (because you don't bake), or that their party was at some amazing jump house or play space - all they will remember was "you two."

Finally, as your children get older, they may not want to visit with the other parent as much anymore and if you are having a hard time at exchanges during regular custodial periods, how much harder will it be to get them to go to the other parent's house on their birthday?

Save yourself and your children and keep the "happy" in happy birthday by not including it in a legal document that you will be forced to comply with regardless of the circumstances.
