IMAZING APP IS AMAZING
This app iMazing really is a-mazing!
After the initial shock set in of seeing his work phone for the first time I went into forensic mode. My dad and brother are both attorneys and that was a natural response for me in the trauma. I took pictures of the many text exchanges he had between multiple women, his call history, pictures, apps, contacts and so much more. He was pretty good about deleting a lot and his work phone was newer so it didn’t go very far back. He concealed girls contacts as male names which I figured out in the first exchange I found.
At that time I couldn’t process anymore what I was actually seeing or the timeline of everything either. I just focused and took pictures with my phone and prayed he wouldn’t wake up and see me.
The devastation of the truth happened shortly after when the string I pulled on unraveled his horrific and dark story.
Because he didn’t give me answers I reached out to many of the numbers he had communicated with. Some acting as him and others saying I was his wife. This was so horrible but it helped me piece some things together and catch him in even more lies he was still telling me. I never believed that a prostitute that was concerned for her safety from him would be my answer to prayers and provide me with recordings of their conversations before and after my discovery. But it was part of exactly what I needed to hear his voice saying all the things that he did even though it was so hurtful.
I had a lot of information in my “shady file” to potentially protect me in my divorce. It also helped me with my hard truths to know despite his story and saying I didn’t know, I knew! He couldn’t gaslight me anymore because I had hard evidence.
But ultimately I didn’t want this garbage on my phone anymore. So I downloaded this app to back it up and save everything I would ever need.
I don’t ever have to stumble upon the tragic events of that time unless I specifically need to find it. And instantly a chapter was closed in my book and I can move forward without his stuff cluttering my phone for “just in case.”
