@tjo7476: Divorcing a narcissist often isn't about ending the marriage. It's about keeping control. When they can't control you at home, they'll try to do it through the kids and the courtroom. Common tactics: 🔹 Using the children as leverage. Custody becomes a weapon, not a parenting question. Many don't want equal time out of love. They want power, or a way to reduce what they pay in support. 🔹 Turning kids against you. Subtle put-downs, guilt trips, and rewriting history to make you the villain. 🔹 Weaponizing the court. Endless motions, last-minute filings, and refusing reasonable settlements. The goal is to exhaust you, not to resolve anything. 🔹 Draining you financially. Every extra hearing and lawyer's letter costs you money. They count on you running out of resources before they run out of patience. 🔹 Playing the victim. They can be charming in front of judges and evaluators while painting you as unstable or difficult. How to protect yourself: ✅ Document everything: texts, emails, missed pickups, broken agreements ✅ Keep communication brief, factual, and unemotional (use a co-parenting app) ✅ Never badmouth them to the kids, even when it's tempting ✅ Hire an attorney experienced in high-conflict divorce ✅ Lean on a therapist and a support system. This is exhausting. You're not crazy, and you're not alone. Stay calm, stay consistent, and let the paper trail speak for you. 💪 #narcissisticabuse #financialabuse #emotionalabuse #manipulation #divorce
