You know which messages are going to be bad before you even open them. You want to know if you're overreacting. You're not.
You know the patterns are there. You just can't prove them. One Compass-style analysis becomes 40 Compass-style analyses becomes a case.
Pattern18 reads the subtext. DARVO. Gaslighting. Guilt trips. Moving goalposts. It names exactly what's happening underneath the words.
Every analysis timestamps itself to your case file. Your timeline builds automatically while you live your life.
When you need to prove the pattern, Pattern18 gives you court-ready documentation your attorney can actually use.
16 years ago I had a baby with someone I didn't fully see yet.
By the time I saw it, I was already tied to him by court-ordered custody until our son turns 18.
I spent years confused. Years documenting in the wrong ways. Years losing time and money because I didn't have language for what was happening.
My son turns 18 in 2 years. I'll finally be free of court.
Before I go, I'm building the tool I needed from day one.
Pattern18 is for every parent who came after me. Every mom, dad, grandparent staring at a message asking, "is this as bad as I think it is?"
I built it so you don't have to wait 16 years to know.
A mother who spent 16 years in family court.
$97/month. Cancel anytime. 7-day free trial.
