Separating from a Narcissist

Having experienced the overwhelming joy of being with someone you believed to be your soulmate for them to then treat you time and time again with disdain is heart breaking. After all your efforts to try and rekindle those golden moments have failed, you decide you have no choice but to separate from the narcissist in your life. At Winston solicitors we recognise that this is easier said than done.

Why is Separating from a Narcissist so Difficult?

Separating from a narcissist is more difficult than leaving a “normal” failed relationship – why? During your time with the narcissist, you have become bonded by trauma. The good times were few and far between. At the start of the relationship, they filled you with an irresistible gush of happiness. Serotonin is addictive, but those brief moments don’t last and your constant efforts to experience those good times begin to have less and less impact.

 Realising that the narcissist will not change and that you have to leave them can be frightening on so many levels. You have come to believe all the negative things that the narcissist has said about you to family and friends. And you don’t know how they will react to the news. 

You can survive the narcissist and you can begin your life afresh. However, dealing with the narcissist through divorce and children matters is extremely difficult. We recognise this and have an understanding of narcissism. This will help you to navigate dealing with someone who has to have his/her way, and who has to be in control.

We Can Help You with Separating from a Narcissist

Unfortunately, narcissism whilst difficult to diagnose, is also on the rise. Employing a solicitor who understands the trauma that you have suffered, understands how to navigate you through a divorce and resolving children matters with a narcissist is essential

We know that this is no “usual” divorce or separation. We can use our experience and skills to help get you through the process. For advice and support, please contact your Family Law Team on 0113 320 5000 or by email on @email.

Client feedback

Outstanding Legal Support from Start to Finish:From my initial call to the resolution of my case, the firm and its staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. I would particularly like to commend Mrs Harriet Reid, a family solicitor whose dedication and expertise were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.Despite having less than ten days to prepare, Mrs Reid devoted considerable time and attention to my case. Her legal knowledge, strategic insight, and empathetic approach were of the highest calibre. She displayed remarkable skill in preparing the case for my counsel, ensuring every detail was meticulously addressed.If I ever require legal representation again, I know exactly where to turn.

Teresa and Judith assisted with my recent divorce and i cannot rate them highly enough, i was talked through every aspect and everything was explained in full and i was kept fully updated and imformed of everything that i needed to do and when it was required for. Their patience when i was working away and understanding was especially appreciated.Once that was all complete Amanda and Samantha and the convayensing team sorted the transfer of the house and the paperwork associated with that.I would highly recommend them and thier company for any legal issues you have and would use thier services again without hesitation.

Review for Wendy – Family Law Services at Winston’s Solicitors, LeedsI recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy from Winston’s Solicitors in Leeds on a family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first consultation, Wendy was incredibly professional, empathetic, and thorough in her approach. She took the time to fully understand my situation, providing clear and concise advice at every step of the process.Throughout the entire case, Wendy was always available to answer any questions I had, and she made sure I felt supported and informed. Her knowledge of family law is exceptional, and I felt confident in her ability to handle my case. She was transparent about all costs, keeping me informed of any developments along the way.What truly stood out to me was her attention to detail and her ability to navigate what was a very emotionally charged situation with sensitivity and care. Wendy was not only a skilled professional but also genuinely understanding of the emotional impact of my case, which made a huge difference during a stressful time.Thanks to Wendy’s hard work and dedication, I was able to reach a favorable outcome, and I am incredibly grateful for her support. If you are looking for a compassionate and experienced family law solicitor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Wendy at Winston’s Solicitors.
