Despite the 'tinsel' and celebrations, Christmas can be a difficult time. When you are separating and have children, particularly if you are separating from a narcissist, the festive season can be fraught with complications.
Narcissists hate special occasions - and are keen to cause havoc and chaos for everyone around them unless, as part of their fake persona, it suits their narrative to look good to the outside world.
Trying to work through the minefield of Christmas arrangements can become all consuming. A narcissist will delight in any ability to take control and 'call the shots'. They will also delight in causing upset and distress at what should be a happy family time.
In this podcast I offer strategies to deal with these issues - to try to stay one step ahead of the game and anticipate a situation rather than simply react to it - whether you are in the early stages of separation or having to deal annually with your narcissistic ex.
