Splitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

By Randi Kreger, Bill Eddy, William Eddy

Book Overview

This highly anticipated second edition of Splitting includes new chapters on abuse, alienation, and false allegations; as well as information about the four types of domestic violence, protective orders, and child custody disputes.

Are you divorcing someone who's making the process as difficult as possible? Are they sending you nasty emails, falsifying the truth, putting your children in the middle, abusing you, or abusing the system? Are they "persuasive blamers," manipulating and fooling court personnel to get them on their side? If so, you need this book.

For more than ten years, Splitting has served as the ultimate guide for people divorcing a high conflict person, one who often has borderline or narcissistic (or even antisocial) personality disorder. Among other things, it has saved readers thousands of dollars, helped them keep custody of their children, and effectively guided them through a difficult legal and emotional process.

Written by a family law attorney and therapist, and the author of Stop Walking on Eggshells, Splitting is an essential legal and psychological guide for anyone divorcing a persuasive blamer: someone who suffers from borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and/or antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). This second edition includes new information about antisocial personalities; expanded information about domestic violence, child abuse, alienation, and false allegations; how to approach protective orders and deal with child custody disputes; and a new chapter on how to successfully present your case to decision makers.

Informative and worth the read!

This book is amazing. I'm am currently in the process of organizing a divorce from a physically abusive narcissistic sociopath. This book is pinpointing every abusive thing he did, including the verbal and psychological. I'm concerned about the custody and safety of my daughter, so this book gives insight to the "reasoning" the personality disorder believes. It gives pointers on everything from how to choose a lawyer and what to say and not to say in court. Super informative.
