Need emotional support

[superwoman232]

I am divorcing an abusive narcissist during Covid. He isn't doing anything to progress the divorce and we have to go to court for everything and live under the same roof still. Had to file D11, have to start financial proceedings because he ignores requests to exchange form Es. We have financial proceedings to fight and child proceedings. I just feel so stuck and lost. How did you guys get through it?

Gosh that must be so wearing. You've don't the hard part, initiating the process. How short for you that you're stuck in the house together, it must be so draining. Keep going, think of your new life. I can promise you it's worth it. My home is my sanctuary since I turfed exH out. No drama or stress. You will have that too, just don't lose faith. One step at a time.

@AdaFuckingShelby thank you... but I don't see the end in sight because everything is ending up in court and that's prolonging it all.

That sounds hard, why doesn’t he engage, is he against divorce or just plain punishing you?
Why does he want to fight it all, there is no gain on either side in that. But then you describe him as a narcissist so that explains. How old are your kids, are they ok?

I think when women initiate a divorce, it is never impulsive. Most of us have gone through months or years of agonising trying to make sense of their situation and the decision is well weighed. I’m sure there are reasons you are divorcing him so try to remind yourself of a bigger picture here and take one day at a time as you progress towards your better future.
