The Rising Beyond Podcast
If you're trying to protect your children while navigating an abusive ex, this podcast is for you. Because leaving the relationship didn't end the abuse, and no one prepared you for what came next.
The Rising Beyond Podcast is for protective mothers navigating the overwhelming reality of sharing children with someone who continues patterns of manipulation, coercive control, or emotional abuse after separation. Join Sybil Cummin, licensed professional counselor, who has spent the last decade helping survivors and their children navigate this incredibly difficult chapter. Every week, we share trauma-informed education, nervous system insights, protective parenting strategies, and honest conversations about family court, post-separation abuse, and healing, so you can feel more confident, more grounded, and better equipped to protect both your children and yourself.
Whether you're in the middle of family court, struggling with parenting alongside someone who continues patterns of control, or simply trying to become the parent you want to be after everything you've survived, you'll find validation, practical guidance, and hope here.

Ep 217: AI and Post-Separation Abuse: What Protective Parents Need to Know with Rina Rosewell
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, including family court.
More and more protective parents are telling me that their ex has suddenly started sending perfectly written messages, using AI to draft legal documents, or threatening to subpoena their ChatGPT conversations.
It's understandable to feel intimidated.
But does AI actually give an abusive person more power?
Or is it simply another tool that can be used well—or misused?
In this episode, I'm joined by divorce coach and author Rina Rosewell to unpack the growing role of AI in coercive control, post-separation abuse, and family court. We discuss both the opportunities and the limitations of AI, along with practical ways survivors can use it without becoming dependent on it.
In this episode, we answer:
- Should I be worried if my ex suddenly starts using AI to write messages or court documents?
- Can AI actually help me communicate, organize my case, and reduce the emotional toll of post-separation abuse?
- What are the limitations of AI, and why shouldn't it replace the support of safe, trusted people in your healing?
Whether you're curious about AI, already using it, or feeling anxious because your ex has discovered it, this conversation will help you separate fear from facts and use this technology in ways that support—not replace—your healing.
