So I am in the midst of a nasty divorce. I listen to podcasts on narcissism, divorcing a narc and I just listened to the body keeps the score.
It is overload and bringing me down.
Any ideas on some funny or uplifting podcasts or audio books that have lifted your spirits?
I am 1 year into a divorce. It has been awful, I got t an order of protection after he was sending hundredsof texts a day, he was arrested and it continued . At one point, when I was unresponsive, he reached out to my mom and started harrassing her.
This is where it gets complicated. I lost my sister to suicide due to narcissistic abuse. She left to get away from him but could no longer tolerate life after 7 years of post separation abuse. My mom was really upset and told me she did not realize how upsetting it was until she experienced it. I was super angry and moved on. Luckily the guardian ad litem told him he woukd lose his kids if his behavior continued and that was the first time he started backing off.
My mom was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. The chance of death is only 3% for her surgery but tge chance of losing some body function, becoming paralyzed, or losing speech and or swallowing ability is much much h higher. The thought of this being her last year of full life is just killing me. The fact that her last communication from her son in law was harrassment with him telling her what a bad mom she is and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree cant get out of my head.
I dont know how to move past this. I have been forced by the court to do co parenting therapy with him and I dont know if I can continue right now.
