SPLITTING: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing a Borderline or a Narcissist

by author: William A. Eddy, foreward by Mike Roe

———-

I will open by simply saying that if you’re in a high conflict divorce situation with a spouse who has been diagnosed with a personality disorder, you suspect of having a personality disorder, or even if they are for any reason highly agitated and preparing to commence legal hell with you - this book is money well spent.

I was not fortunate enough to understand with whom I was dealing and why. I didn’t get to read this book until I was more than a year into my disastrous situation. However, it still helped me immensely from the moment I did get and read it. It helped me understand the motivations and expectations that would continue to take place. It was as enlightening on the legal end of things as Stop Walking On Eggshells awakened me to just about everything else in terms of dealing with borderline personality disorder.

If your attorney isn’t truly familiar with dealing with an adversary who has a personality disorder (and you can afford it), share yours with your attorney or even buy counsel a copy to review.

I suggest this because the parallels in the book with my experience were uncanny. For me, it served as a historical look back at how and why things initially unfolded for me the way they did. Fortunately, it was also “early” enough in my ongoing litigation that it would still prove to be a roadmap and guide in preparing for what would invariably come. The actual examples of the aftermath of handling situations the correct way and the incorrect way are eye-opening.

Splitting provides a unique insight into what to expect during litigation, how to prepare for it, and even how to counteract it. It encourages you to stand your ground. It sets you up to be assertive without hurting your own case. It will also temper the occasional disbeliever when you may also be able to predict what is to come from the disordered spouse. Constantly referring to it also helps me to refocus under times of great stress to better identify what issue deserves higher levels of attention than others. I assure you that without it, it will seem like every issue is “the most important one” - and they aren’t.

I highly recommend it.
