How to divorce a narcissist
Narcissistic personality disorder is a personality trait involving excessive preoccupation with one’s own needs, often at the expense of others. Some people may have narcissistic traits, whilst for others, this might be part of a rare mental illness such as narcissistic personality disorder. Separating from a narcissist is particularly difficult; the sense of entitlement and manipulative behaviour makes it more challenging to negotiate and reach a sensible solution in terms of a financial settlement or arrangements for children.
