Hey gorgeous, Gillian here. I know in the early da Hey gorgeous, Gillian here. I know in the early days after my husband left I could not even imagine what my life would look like a year on. And I DEFINITELY couldn't imagine that I'd be loving my life and even be grateful that it all happened. But OMG it's true!

What I realised as the days ticked by was that this needed to happen to make room for my own dreams to flourish, and for me to take charge of my life. Gradually over 16 years of being partnered up, I had fallen into the trap of thinking in the collective, believing that everything in life was about “us” = me + my husband + my kids.

I’d completely lost myself, my identity was mum and wife. Don’t get me wrong I was absolutely proud to be mum and wife, but that’s where the rub was, the more I lived it, loved it and lost myself in “us”, the less I knew who I was.

Helloooo Gillian, are you in there? I was - and I was ready to live again. No matter where you are in this journey, life CAN be wonderful again. Don't forget it. xxx

If you're going through a break up, it's tough eno If you're going through a break up, it's tough enough. But divorcing a narcissist is a special kind of hell that seems to go on and on. 

We've seen dozens of women come through Women's Divorce Academy with this challenge, and we've spoken to our resident psychologist Donna Cameron about this at length.

One quick tip is to employ the 'grey rock' technique, which means acting as interesting as a grey rock when you're interacting with them. Answering questions with minimal detail, giving them nothing to latch onto. But there's a whole lot more to it than that. 

True narcissistic personality disorder is tough to deal with, especially when you're in that person's firing line. But there is help available. Check out our free webinar for more tips on how to take the struggle out of divorce.

We've got loads of tips and handy advice to share. Join us via the link in our bio today.
