Why Must Read Splitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
I found this book to be very essential in guiding my approach to my divorce, even to hiring my attorney. When one is in a relationship with a narcissistic borderline abuser, it clouds your mind and you are confused. You do not address your needs during the relationship because of how you are treated. The list goes on and on as far as how narcissists dehumanize you and turn you into less of a person and more of an object for them to use. Looking back, I felt I was so numb because of the abuse that it effected my medical, mental health, financial stability and decision making. Then suddenly divorce comes into the picture, and you have to make decisions for yourself and your protection. My divorce was one of the toughest fights I ever have done, and divorcing an abusive narcissist borderline definitely added to how difficult it was. But this book helped me think clearly, made me not feel as alone as I thought I was, and taught me how to approach almost every situation when dealing with a narcissist/borderline in divorce. I was very thankful for this book, and very thankful for my attorney who I was able to communicate with clearly when it came to my fears of my very sick ex-wife and her lies. My attorney and this book hand-in-hand helped me to survive and practically win the financial part of my divorce. The emotional toll was difficult, and to some extent I am still dealing with it since the divorce was finalized in the spring of 2018, but that is a work in progress. Highly advised to those who are divorcing a narcissist borderline, be it male or female. Their behaviors and psychology are text book, but with this book you will succeed.
