Author Joanna Moore–Narcissistic Abuse Survivor
I frequently see negative comments about women, divorce, custody, child support and related topics online. These comments are usually things like “courts favor women,” “women waste all the child support on themselves,” “women cheat men out of their money,” “women use kids as pawns,” “women use false accusations,” and things like that. The other day, … Read more
I often wonder why the narcopath picked ME to marry when he was a lifelong bachelor at nearly 60 year old. (Although I have some bits of evidence that he was married to others….) As far as I know for sure, he had never been married. He had been with hundreds and hundreds of women, … Read more

Sociopath has been testing boundaries lately by calling my phone to inform me of his visitation plans. Our court approved mediation states that he must email me by Wednesday and is not allowed to call me…so … Read more
Today, I am outright pissed off and disgusted by our local Child Support Enforcement Agency. They fail my child very badly. It’s outrageous how much they let the narcopath get away with. I know most of us with abusive, narcissistic, sociopathic exes are dealing with deadbeats. It’s in their nature. They don’t meet their responsibilities … Read more
If you have a child with a narcissist or sociopath, there are so many horrible things that can go wrong. Unfortunately, having a child makes it harder to escape the narcissist’s games. In such cases, it is best to file for a divorce, to free yourself and your child from the clutches of a partner … Read more
