I am currently divorcing after 34 years of marriage.
My STBXH is an entitled, emotional bully with narcissistic traits. We are living separately in the family home. We are retired with an adult child.
He won’t use a solicitor and keeps changing his mind about whether he will sell the house (I know!). He gets very cross with me, even though I try hard to keep out of his way.
My therapist is helping me. I have no confidence and very low self esteem. I find it very difficult to face up to him. I no longer love him and can’t wait to leave.
I know this situation is nothing unusual. So if you went through the same thing, what books did you read that helped you endure and get through the divorce in one piece?
The irony is there’s enough money for us both. But because of the financial abuse he has been used to spending most of our income on himself. This is what upsets him the most.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
