Being in a relationship with a narcissist can be traumatizing. After all, you have to see them almost every day. In some cases, you can choose to cut ties with the person, but in other cases, you might not have that freedom. In many other cases, people don’t want to give up on the narcissist because they feel guilty that they might be abandoning the person in a time of need.

Divorce is difficult under the best of circumstances. When your spouse has borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), or is manipulative, divorcing can be especially complicated. While people with these tendencies may initially appear convincing and even charming to lawyers and judges, you know better - many of these "persuasive blamers" leverage false accusations, attempt to manipulate others, launch verbal and physical attacks, and do everything they can to get their way. Splitting is your legal and psychological guide to safely navigating a high-conflict divorce.

A personal guide on me at all time
I've read two coparenting books before this one and they do not compare to how great this book is. My daughter is four years old and probably the first half of the book is for my present. The second half is for my future, it's to prepare which I wish I've read this book a long time ago. Not only this book is unbelievably good, I reached out to the author for my own personal questions and she answered me with no hesitation whatsoever. She took the trout off her busy schedule to answer one of his readers. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I even bought two extra copies, one for the other parent and one to the judge in charge of our child custody.
