    Basically just ask for stuff you don't want to distract from what you do want. Make a bigger deal about the stuff you don't want and let them take it from you so you make them think they won. Nice. Shouldn't be a problem seeing as how she already accuses me to try and make me look like I'm the one only wanting my stuff and that I don't care about my kids. So play into their facade just enough to use their own fake reality against them. I read an interesting article titled "The Gullibility of the Narcissist" that kind of explain stuff like this.

      Exactly right!! You should know how to gain your confidence and power back, because these people use you as source of narcissistic supply and you don’t wanna let them use you like that. Knowing that we have been able to develop a program helping people achieve that, and get their confidence back, make me love my job to transform people’s lives.

    My narcissist ex won’t ever negotiate... he can’t ever give up anything or compromise. It’s not in his nature. So, if you ask for more than you want, it just shuts down the conversation because he says that’s “crazy” or calls me names. Our conflicts now stem around emancipated kids’ expenses. The only way I can get him to pay 70 - 100% (he’s a surgeon and makes a lot of money...my income is what I get from him), is to flat out tell a kid I’m not paying or I will pay 30% ...I’m not in a position to match him. It puts the kid in the terrible position of fighting it out with their dad and threatening to alienate him. That’s when he eventually caves. I’m hoping he will soon see that I’m never going to match him on these expenses and he’ll soon stop trying.

      I feel your pain. My ex is the same way with same economic differences. When extracurricular costs were split 50/50, he would just discourage the kids participation so they wouldn't do them. I was so angry for the boys. When he took me back to mediation, I just said I would pay 100% extracurriculars (however-my lawyer built that amount into overall increase in child support). He thought he won. I did not have any increase in cost (that I couldn't afford) but he stopped discouraging the boys to do these extracurriculars. Yours won't stop trying. I don't think he believes you can match his contribution. I think he likes to highlight that you can't match. Hopefully you can find a work around. Good luck!

    I guess it will work for others but hard for me to manipulate and act like him.

    He will always say NO to anything and everything. His battle cry when I left was "you're not getting a penny" so he has given many attorneys all of his $. Plus he's paying me spousal support. After 11 years and he's had 6 attornies we are finally trying to get a trial date.

      SAME. After I had a baby, pandemic time, so my unpaid maternity leave became indefinite, after being there a decade. & THAT'S what he did. & he went through with it. He left us with absolutely nothing. They say dont give a man financial power & i agree but there are always situations where you're just STUCK (seemingly, cuz if you get stuck, you were able to wedge in, therefore, you can wedge out; with a lot of struggle, most likely, but gain freedom nonetheless...with scars, aka: strength & wisdom).

      Great advice but I’m not really sure how to apply it in my case. My husband is also an addict and I moved to Italy for him before knowing his bad habits. We had a child together... what I really want is to go back home to California with my son. If he was rational he would understand that the difference in visitations wouldn’t be that different because of his work schedule and drug use. I would give him my sons summer break and holidays for visitation but maybe the only way I can get leverage is by getting police involved ? This is a messy one 😫

    We are in a very difficult predicament where she definitely abuses the legal system but the legal system is so busy that they are not giving enough discernment to the situation and my husband frequently is reprimanded ride along with her for always ending up back in court.

    I disagree, you don’t really mean what you said. That tells me you were never a victim of a narcissist. The judge has to decide. You are wrong. Don’t tell people to engage with a narcissist. No contact is the only way. That how many women died for this type of comments. Narcissist are dangerous when they feel they loose. No contact and let the judge decide.

    I think you're extremely intelligent and should be paid for your time, but trying to sell me on a $787 program? I am in the fight of my life with a narcissist who has stripped me of everything, stealing my car, freezing my inheritance, making me homeless and I'm disabled. I listened to your webinar and took notes, for over an hour just to be sold something then kicked off for asking for recommendations on where I could go to get some help? Really? State at the beginning you're selling something so that those of us who are fighting without resources can spend their time actually getting the help they need. If I had money to buy my way out of this I would, but thats not the case. Giving people like me false hope is wrong. We don't need false hope or to waste our time when looking to get back our life!! Very dissapointing!!! 😔

    I just want the narcissist out of my house. How do I get him out? We are not married. I purchased the house 11 years ago. His name is not on any utilities. The only thing we have together is a truck he conned me into buying and he co-signed. I have told him he can keep it. I just want my name off. I almost wonder if I'm dealing with a sociopath and not just a narcissist but he meets every guideline of a narcissist says all the things of a narcissist.

      My ex bought a car on my name but I wasn’t allowed to drive it. I asked him to change it on his name before the divorce. He didn’t want to. So I sold it. I waited for him to go out without the car and I called the company that towed it for me... and voilà! I would do the same with the truck so he starts getting the message, and ALSO I would change the lock of the house, I’d get his stuff out of the house (literally out of your land mark) and I would call the police if he insists on getting inside your house after all that. Get yourself out of HIS life, because he won’t get out from yours. Own experience here 🙋🏻‍♀️ Ask me if you have questions.
