Divorce to a narcissist is a game. The primary goal is to win, the win for them is for you to lose financially, emotionally, socially and in everything to do with your parenting time.
To win at this game they must first rewrite history making themselves into the hero and the victim of the marriage story. A massive conspiracy theory will be executed for the years of abuse at the hands of you, the bipolar, alcoholic, cheating, thief, child abuser. From the false allegations to hiding assets, stonewalling the courts and the heartless behaviors you will witness in the coming months or year will leave your head spinning. There will be many questions, many confusing days because the person you are divorcing is no longer the person you married. The battle wounds cut deep as the legal bills go up and you search for answers.
No matter where you are in the divorce process you need to put on your learning hat and prepare because each stage of the game brings new obstacles. Coaching with someone that understands the crazy things that are happening can offer validation, a compassionate ear, education on what the tactics that are being pulled on you, and strategies to cope with each new attack sequence.
