How to Divorce a Narcissist: and succeed in the family court Paperback – 17 Nov. 2021

Really interesting book that I would recommend highly to anyone going through this process!

Such a helpful book with plenty of practical advice on how to divorce a narcissist. Get your highlighter pen at the ready! I felt much more equipped and prepared to enter the divorce process with my OH. There is very detailed advice on the divorce process itself, as well as how to navigate this taking into account the narcissist and the complexities that arise when divorcing one. A practical manual with invaluable cost saving advice as well (Thank you Diana!). A book written by someone who totally understands the impact of narcissistic abuse, and someone who will help guide you through the steps needed to exit your marriage. Highly recommended.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse especially with a narcissist, please don’t hesitate to get this book. I have been reading it since August, and I have found it extremely helpful. It helped me understand what I’m dealing with, not only my narcissist husband, but also the family court, the solicitors, the legal system in the U.K. I just wish I knew this book earlier so it would save me a fortune both financially and emotionally.

This book is a MUST if you are dealing with narcissist! It was painful reading for the victim to start as she was reminded. But It has given us good advice and guidence in many aspects on our journey to the final hearing in court. Our case had to do with contact and relocation. With the help of this book we succeeded to come through with imortant facts to to the judge which resulted in relocation granted, no overnight contact and limited unsupervised contact with the child. We are so pleased! The book gave ideas when writing the posision statement and also gave the victim courage and help going through the final crossexamination in court. The whole family are still reading the book as it has lots of detailed useful information of how to deal with a narcissist. In particular things like staying cool, dont argue, do not respond strait away and dont give him fuel to act. The narcissist is not going to disappear so we need to be reminded how to handle him.Thank you for writing this book."Grandma"

I bought this a while ago and it is incredibly eye opening. It's as if the author knows my soon to be ex!Everything she is saying about the behaviours- is literally my experience- it's soo spooky! OMG! I wish I'd had this insight years ago instead of sticking in an abusive relationship and putting my wonderful kids through this. I feel that I have to justify I am in an abusive marriage- even though he has never laid a hand on me.He's too smart to hit me. He'd rather stop me from using the car to take our child to school in the snow- forcing us to get 2 buses there and 2 back. Tell my son that if he puts the heating on - he will have to pay for it. Get in my face and shout, tell me I haven't contributed to the family - despite me looking after the kids 24/7 while he goes off having affairs. I feel more prepared for whatever is coming my way- thanks to Diane.This book is going to get me through. It can help you too. Buy it now!!

Brought for a friend she found it useful

The marriage was difficult, the divorce was vile and the degradation, humiliation and utter bewilderment as to what was happening is impossible to describe. For years, I thought I was unique. Then I read this. My sister bought it for me, I’ve now bought one for a friend and for social services.Despite what you’re told on social media and various posters in GP waiting rooms, domestic abuse is not widely understood. If your ex is a man with a personality disorder, leaving him is not going to mean he’s going to leave you alone. Family court is not fair and it’s an arena where the assumption is no one will lie and perjury is rarely called out. This book is the first time I’ve seen it recognised for all its faults and with ideas on how to survive and extricate it.Post separation abuse is not understood; it’s not “parental conflict” it is ongoing abuse. Don’t assume the “professionals” understand what you’re describing, but this book did help me to demonstrate what our experiences actually are.

This is one of the books I struggled to put down. The book is filled with excellent insights, advice and knowledge to help domestic abuse victims. Hopefully the book will empower people. Most importantly, the book explains what has been happening to victims and preparing them for what lays ahead.I won't sugar coat it, victims of domestic abuse may find some parts difficult or upsetting to read, especially how the system sees domestic abuse victims. At times the text brought tears to my eyes as I could relate to it. The book advises on court proceedings, a narcarcists behaviour, different forms of abuse, the effects on victims and their children. I am sure that every domestic abuse victim can associate with many of the stories included.For victims who have or are thinking or leaving a narcarcist, this book is a must read. Be safe and reclaim your life.
