I have a close friend sat with me, with his young son.
He's had a very tough time of it lately with his other half; emotional and financial abuse, and physical violence. She is also very narcassistic (doesn't recognise that she's ever in the wrong, blames others for her actions and seems to have a different perception of reality). She also has severe anger management issues.
I think he should never go back to her again ever again but he is still holding out hope that, with (alot) help she could be okay someday and maybe they could make it work as a family again. For the moment, they are both safe and away from her (and will be for some time).
So, please could you tell him from experience, professional opinons, any other views, can someone like this ever change?
(I have posted on this before but name-changed and am going to be very careful about going into too much information)
