Divorcing a Narcissist? Stop Doing His Job for Him
If you’re divorced or separated from a narcissistic partner but still managing his responsibilities, you may have left the marriage without actually leaving your old role in it.
In this video, I explain why so many women become the “family administrator” in a high-conflict marriage and why that pattern can continue long after separation or divorce. I share the three things I want you to understand: how you became responsible for making everything function, why you keep doing the job even after divorce, and how to start handing responsibilities back without feeling like you’re failing your children.
I also explain the difference between protecting your child and protecting your ex from the consequences of his own choices, why over-functioning can keep you emotionally connected to your ex, and how quietly covering for his behavior can actually hide the patterns you want others to see.
You don’t have to become rigid or stop helping your children. You simply need to start asking: “Whose responsibility is this?”
