Divorcing a narcissist

Dealing with a narcissistic ex can lead to a very volatile and unstable situation and the abuse continues in other ways as the victim tries to break-free and start a new and rewarding life. Divorcing a narcissist or sociopath is tricky as they’re very complicated characters. They need to be dealt with using specific methods. They do not think or behave in a normal manner and litigation can become a long and painful process with solicitors, barristers and judges not even realising their complexities. 

Fortunately, there are many charities which offer support and a number of counsellors and coaches who can help victims to regain the power in their lives. Victims may also find that the are eligible for Legal Aid if they have escaped an abusive marriage.  Finding someone to trust is crucial and measures such as non-molestation orders and injunctions can be put in place to protect victims from further abuse. 

The future

Healing is all about regaining life control and different people turn to different methods to overcome their chronic apprehension and anxiety. Re-training to get work and earn a decent salary can make a victim see a world of possibilities ahead of them. Being able to become financially independent is a huge issue for many who flee domestic abuse. Many of those who have been through it and are now out the other side, speak of feeling empowered and free. They say they are stronger than they have ever felt before and found it all to be a journey of self-discovery as they rebuild their new lives.
