“I’m just over it!” say some clients. “Just SO done!” “This is crazy!” “I’m tired of the kids and I walking on egg-shells waiting for my partner to explode, being physical, throwing things, being demeaning and arrogant, being P-offed at the kids and me and giving us the cold treatment, withdrawing or threatening to do something to themselves or us.” “I’m confused what the church says about this, but this is just so wrong for me/our family.” “I need to get out of this relationship to take care of myself so I can take care of the kids!” “I need a plan to stop this crazy making abuse.”
A lot of relationships cannot survive due to one of the partners being a narcissist and having an array of mental health disorders, thus the partner/family has been walking on eggs shells, has been gas-lighted and dealt with oppositional defiance.
It’s extremely common that once someone files for divorce and puts distance between themselves and the abuser, their optics become far more clear in viewing their partner/life and the unhealthy existence they lived with their partner. Clients have stated their health is improved as have their sleep patterns due to no longer living with the jagged unpredictable pattern of their unhealthy partner. They experience being no longer shackled by an abuser.
