This Isn’t Just Divorce. It’s a Battle Plan

If you’re divorcing a narcissist, brace yourself. This is not your run-of-the-mill separation. It’s a psychological chess match with someone who thrives on manipulation, control, and keeping you off balance.

You don’t need drama. You need a strategy.

At The Common Sense Divorce, we help Ontarians create financially smart, emotionally grounded, and legally sound exits from toxic marriages. If you’re stuck in a relationship with someone who weaponizes charm, distorts facts, and thrives in conflict, this guide is for you.

What is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?

Everyday Narcissism vs. Clinical NPD

We all know people who are vain or egotistical. That’s not the same as NPD. True narcissists are emotionally damaged individuals who build entire identities around grandiosity to mask deep internal shame. They lie, gaslight, and manipulate to stay in control.

And no, not all narcissists are men. Women can be just as destructive.

Divorcing a Narcissist: What You’re Up Against

Narcissists don’t just handle conflict poorly—they love it. The legal system becomes their stage. They will:

Drag out proceedings
Play the victim
Weaponize the children
Attack your credibility

Why Family Mediation is a Power Move When Divorcing A Narcissist

You might think court is the only way to handle a narcissist. Wrong.

Mediation Flips the Script on a Narcissist

Litigation is chaos—their natural habitat. Mediation is structure. Boundaries. Consequences. It strips away their ability to control the narrative and forces accountability.

At The Common Sense Divorce, we specialize in non-court resolutions that protect your finances, preserve your sanity, and keep you out of public legal warfare.

How To Divorce a Narcissist Strategy: 10 Must-Know Survival Tactics

If you’re divorcing a narcissist, keep these pointers in mind:

1. Don’t Date Until It’s Over

Nothing inflames a narcissist like seeing you move on. Stay focused.

2. They Will Play the Victim

Let them. Don’t take the bait. The truth always outs.

3. Expect Traps

They’ll provoke you. Stay boring. Don’t feed the beast.

4. Set Boundaries (Silently)

Your boundaries are your business. Don’t broadcast them—protect them.

5. Control Communication

Keep texts short. Don’t engage emotionally. When in doubt, turn off your phone.

6. Plan for Holidays & Triggers

Narcissists ruin big days to stay central. Don’t let them steal your peace.

7. Rethink What Love Means

Learn what healthy relationships look like. Narcissists distort love into control.

8. Pick the Right Professionals

You don’t need a bulldog lawyer. You need a calm, competent one. Choose a process that is SMART.

9. Work with a Specialist

Therapists who understand narcissism will help you emotionally detach.

10. Have a Plan Before You Act

Knowledge is power. Do your research, know your rights, and build a smart exit plan.
