The scales of justice are completely broken, and nowhere is this more obvious than in divorces involving narcissists. Regardless of where in the world you live, family law systems will haplessly (and sometimes not so haplessly) be enlisted by narcissists to become weapons of their abuse. This ‘lawfare’ (or ‘court-sanctioned abuse’) will be levelled at the very people who need the family court’s protection the most, and those who find themselves locked in a system (which itself perpetrates financial and emotional abuse), quickly learn that their narcissistic ex is actually only half the problem.
If you are a victim-survivor trying to escape your narcissistic partnership, this book, the second in the Narcissists in Divorce series, is written for you. Former medic Dr Supriya McKenna distills her years of experience working with clients into this in-depth, comprehensive, holistic guide – and she leaves no stone unturned. She breaks down her unique perspectives on how to stay afloat whilst swimming through the murky waters of the legal system, and shows you how to take control of the narrative, whilst simultaneously protecting your mental health.
Dr McKenna teaches you how to vet potential lawyers; details exactly how they should minimize the potential for long-term post-separation abuse; and even deals with how to spot (and sack) a narcissistic lawyer. She takes you through the practical realities of co-parenting with a narcissist; shows you how to protect your children from their narcissistic parent; and teaches you effective communication tactics with which to manage your narcissistic ex.
Including sections on cyberstalking and tech abuse, how to get your ex diagnosed for the court, and ways to try to stay away from the court arena, Dr McKenna masterfully tackles the complexities of this huge subject. She delivers the content in easy-to-read, bite-sized sections, with the warmth and empathy that has been so missing in her readers’ lives. This is, without a doubt, the definitive guide on how to divorce a narcissist.
In the first book of the Narcissists in Divorce series, Dr Supriya McKenna offers up her years of experience working in this field. From Love-Locked to Leaving will teach you how to assess whether your partner is a true narcissist. With easy-to-read case histories and in-depth questionnaires, you’ll learn about narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and how to deconstruct narcissistic behaviours.
You’ll discover the predictable divorce and separation behaviours to expect from a narcissist, and their impact on you and your children. You’ll also learn why these relationships are so difficult to break free from, and why you may be struggling. With guidance to help you decide whether or not to leave your relationship, you’ll also learn essential strategies to build your resilience – regardless of what choice you ultimately make.
If you do choose to separate, Narcissists in Divorce: From Leaving to Liberty – The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth is the follow-on guide in the series. View Book 1 on Amazon here.
'THE NARCISSIST TRAP - The Mind-Bending Pull of the Great Pretenders'
This book unveils 'narcissism', which hides in plain sight and so often goes unnoticed - in spite of the havoc it inevitably wreaks. Combining Dr Supriya's engaging storytelling with her no-nonsense explanations, she centres the book on the stories of four very different narcissists, and shows how each person in their lives are affected by them. As a fly on the wall, we meet these narcissists' partners, children, other family members, friends, work colleagues and casual acquaintances and we learn how and why the narcissist behaves towards them as they do.
'The Narcissist Trap' explains how the trap is laid, who is targeted, why it's so easy to fall in, and how the narcissist weakens their victims so they find it difficult to escape their gravitational pull. It explains what lies at the heart of narcissism, and gives practical tips to manage the narcissists in your life. With special sections on what it is like to be the child of a narcissist and how to deal with workplace narcissism, this book promises to be the definitive guide on Narcissistic Personality Disorder for the general public - and is a must read for everyone who finds themselves in a difficult relationship that they cannot make sense of.
