Episode notes
INSIGHT

Guilt Isn’t The Same As Responsibility

  • Leaving an abusive or threatening relationship is the correct safety-first choice even when guilt about children arises.
  • Guilt should evolve into sadness for the kids, not responsibility for the abuser's choices.
ADVICE

Get Legal And Financial Help Immediately

  • Talk to a family/divorce lawyer, an accountant, and a real estate agent to clarify your legal and financial obligations for the house.
  • Avoid letting her stay in the home rent-free while you pay the mortgage; that creates legal and financial risk.
INSIGHT

Toxic Dynamics Are Often Mutual

  • Narcissistic traits can exist across many parties and interact to create toxic dynamics rather than a single villain.
  • Reflect on how your own tendencies (e.g., savior complex) may have co-created the situation.
