What Is A Narcissist?
There are no winners or losers in a divorce. The sense of loss affects our emotional, financial, and sometimes physical health. All of this takes its toll on us making healing afterward difficult. But when you have to go through this with a narcissist, it can be even more devastating and yet freeing, because of the narcissist’s nature.
Narcissism is a personality disorder that is characterized by an excessive need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. Individuals with a narcissistic personality disorder often have an inflated sense of self-esteem and believe that they are superior to others. They can be manipulative and demanding, and often use others to meet their own needs.
Unfortunately, divorcing a narcissist can be incredibly difficult, but if you know what to look for, you can protect yourself during and after the divorce. Knowledge is power.
The 5 Signs Of A Narcissist
While there are no definitive signs that will tell you if you were married to a narcissist, there are some behaviors and red flags that may indicate that your spouse was suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. In this guide, we will discuss five signs that you may have been married to a narcissist. Keep in mind that not everyone who exhibits these behaviors is a narcissist, but if several of these occurred during your marriage, it is worth exploring further.
Red Flags:
5. Doesn’t care about the facts, the material proof, etc. Those things mean nothing to them. Their narrative of being the victim is all that matters.
Narcissists are difficult to divorce, mainly because they refuse to take any responsibility for their actions. They may act like the victim during the divorce process, while continuing to mistreat you and your children.
As difficult as it may be it doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution. I’m not by any means going to say this path is a smooth one, but when you have the right mindset, tools and support you can trust in the fact that there will be a new version of your life waiting for you without the possessive chains of your former spouse.
So, now that we identified the major signs to look for I am more concerned with you. I want to make sure you can heal from this and fully move forward and step into your true identity without these chains holding you back anymore.
