A central piece of advice is that you need to control the narrative to protect yourself and child
Divorcing a narcissist is only the first step of your journey away from the personality disorder’s scars and to move past Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a common consequence of a toxic marriage. Isabella Francis helps you return to the unfettered version of yourself that your children require to be an honest parent and their safe space: heal yourself and you will heal your kids with practical tips to move forward. The text will help you grieve, point you in the direction of what’s next, present you with a survival financial checklist, sort out all legal issues, and familiarize you with all the stages of divorce to aid your moving forward. A series of charts, bullet points, checklists, and exercise suggestions all help organize and succinctly express the most needed information to increase comprehension.The repercussions of a relationship with a narcissist are many and the author does a thorough job of exposing and dealing with a plethora of those consequences, providing answers that promote healing. One of the most important pieces of advice is the necessity for you to control the narrative to protect yourself and your child. An optimal perk of the book is a section that is organized and categorized by children’s age groups effectively: distinguishing that kids of different ages are equipped to understand the nuances of divorce differently.

Life after divorce is hard; hard when divorcing a narcissist-leaving all baggage as well.
Headline: Life after divorce is hard; it is hard when you divorce a narcissist-leaving all that baggage to now deals with as well.Divorce is hard on any family, but even more stressful when one of the participants is narcissistic- when dealing with a spouse who is self-involved and thinks more of their pleasure even in the midst of the marriage with children lifestyle. The author goes over the end of the marriage through the divorce and aftermath. He discusses strategies for co-parenting, dating, and how life would be with the children after the divorce. The one takeaway I got was that-it takes time, thought, and many glasses of wine to survive this divorce.I believe those involved in such a relationship and going through a divorce will benefit from reading and re-reading this book.

Perfect Book for divorces in general with children involved
The author has done an outstanding job with this book. It covers your issues and resolutions for your feelings and the children. I went through a divorce in 2014, and I received full custody of my children due to his alcoholism. I will say I wish I had found this book back then. My ex was not a narcissist but was very temperamental and always angry; however, back to the reader. Narcissists never feel like they are enough and are never happy with themselves but always make sure they look good in front of others. Sometimes with narcissists, kids will become uncommunicative and withdrawn. My favorite part is the financial checklist inside the book, which is excellent information. YOu and your ex will have frequent visits wth co-parenting, and the kids mustn't be involved in the drama. The author also has a good checklist for children to see how they are doing and need to see a doctor for their emotional stability. Overall this is a very informative and well-written book by the author, and I highly recommend it.

A fantastic Survival Guide.
After a relationship with a narcissist, when it comes to breaking up and ending the toxic cycle; it's not the worst part; the worst part is what comes after. And it is this complex and frightening theme that this book addresses, as many relatives, after leaving these relationships, develop Post Traumatic Disorder and end up being vulnerable. The book describes some strategies that have been tested and recommended that help you on this path of healing and reconstruction, especially with your children. Separated by chapters, there is much advice and shared experience. I particularly loved the book because it awakened a feeling that I am not the only one and will never be to walk this path. Between ups and downs, I'm putting into practice some things I've read here, which are helping me. I recommend it!

Very informative!
Living in the same house with a narcissist for years is not something I will ever wish for anyone, not even an enemy because I've been there. The emotional, physical, and vocal abuse can be so bad that you will start questioning your sense of reasoning because nothing you do is ever enough. Now, imagine having to co-parent with such a person. The imagination alone is enough to make you sick.Thanks, Isabella for this book. Now, I can co-parent peacefully with my ex.

Awesome book!
This is a great book! It made me realise that i am NOT ALONE. One of the first things that are addressed in this book are that YOU CAN MISS SOMEONE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND STILL NOT WANT THEM BACK IN YOUR LIFE. The author encouraged and provided me with recommendations/steps to assemble the pieces of my life back together and build myself a life in which i am free. It helped me rediscover myself without the influence of my narcissist ex. The book made me realise that the views of other people do not always matter in life. There are also
