Women’s Divorce Podcast Playlist: 5 Must-Listen Episodes if You’re Divorcing a Narcissist
Divorcing a narcissist? Then you already know…
It doesn’t always start with screaming or chaos.
Sometimes, it’s a text that twists your words, a “forgotten” agreement that suddenly becomes your fault, or a calm, condescending tone that makes you question your own memory.
Little by little, the ground beneath you starts to shift.
You stop trusting your instincts. You wonder if maybe you are overreacting.
That’s what it’s like to be in a high-conflict divorce—especially if your ex thrives on control.
And when that control extends to finances, communication, or parenting, it’s not just emotional—it’s strategic.
It might sound like:
“You don’t need to see those documents; I’ll handle it.”
“You’re overcomplicating things—this is simple, we just divide everything in half.” (Half of what, though? The part he showed you or the part he hid?)
“You’re so emotional, no one’s going to take you seriously.”
“I’ve managed the money for years—I know how this works better than you do.”
If any of that hits home, you’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not alone.
