Episode notes
High-Conflict Often Means One Aggressor
- High-conflict divorce usually involves one very high-conflict person rather than two equally abusive people.
- Courts often lump both parties together and apply blunt solutions that can punish the target of abuse.
Charm And 'Provoke And Blame' In Court
- Narcissists use charm and 'provoke and blame' to make targets look unstable in court.
- Judges receive limited snippets and often cannot or will not parse who is the real aggressor.
Choose Lawyers Who Get Personality Disorders
- Find a family-law attorney who understands mental health and high-conflict dynamics before hiring.
- Ask attorneys about negotiation strategies and avoid relying on mediation with narcissists.
