Your partner is toxic. You feel stuck. Should you stay or go?
Narcissism and its programming can sink their hooks deep into you. If you have kids, it gets them too. You may not fully realize the ways your judgment and instincts have been compromised until several years in. And the degree to which you and your kids are impacted may only be obvious once you're out.
In this book, divorce attorneys Sara Khaki and Shawna Woods help you take ownership of the ways you've co-created your relationship so you can free yourself from toxic programming-whether you stay or go.
This is
detaching,
a particularly apt term if you were lured by an attractive, attentive, and seemingly loving mate only to find yourself caught in a bait-and-switch. What happened to that lovely person you dated and married? How could something that seemed so great have turned so incredibly toxic?
Only you can know if ending your marriage is the right next step for you. But this book can help you make that choice by helping you think through your personal values, priorities, and goals; the impact to your family of ongoing conflict; and what kind of life you want both inside and outside the home.
If you suspect your partner is a narcissist or otherwise a toxic influence, you owe it to yourself to find out more to protect you and your kids.
