Leaving a narcissist and going through the family court is likely to be the scariest thing you’ll ever have to do. This book will be your trusted companion and guide to the practical, legal and emotional challenges you’ll face along the way. It contains information you won’t find elsewhere and it costs a fraction of the price of an hour with a solicitor.Narcissists form a disproportionate percentage of those who separate and divorce because they’re not good at relationships. They tend to fall out with family members and work colleagues too and they can’t be in an intimate relationship without lying, manipulating, shaming, confusing and controlling.This book is for you if you are:A woman or a man who is or was married or cohabitingLeaving, or thinking of leaving, a difficult or narcissistic partnerA parent facing children proceedings in the family courtBeing alienated from you childTrying to co-parent with a narcissistIn divorce and/or financial proceedings with a narcissistA litigant in person (self-representing)Represented by a solicitor and/or barristerThe different types of narcissist are explained, including covert narcissists, sociopaths, and those with borderline personality disorder.You’re likely to find yourself in court when you leave because you can’t negotiate with a narcissist and there’s no other way to resolve the disputes around your children and/or come to a financial settlement. The book helps you to set boundaries with the narcissist, communicate with them and manage their behaviour to mitigate its effects on you and your children.Unfortunately, most lawyers and judges don’t understand the narcissist’s disordered personality and try to settle these disputes in the same way as they do other cases. That doesn’t work, and it will cost you a lot of time and money and play into the narcissist’s aim to ensure you can’t afford legal representation. The narcissist has to win and doesn’t care how they do it or who they hurt on the way - and that includes their own children.Author Diana Jordan is a former solicitor and now works with people needing help through court proceedings against a narcissist.
