Divorce is already disorienting. But when you’re dealing with a narcissist, the rules change and most people don’t realize that until they’re already in it. In this episode, Tamsen is joined by Sue Moss, a leading NYC divorce attorney, to talk about what actually happens when control, manipulation, and power dynamics show up in a divorce and what women need to understand before things escalate. They discuss: - The early red flags of a controlling or narcissistic partner - Why so many women feel blindsided when divorce turns adversarial - What prenups really protect and when they matter most - How power, money, and fear show up in divorce negotiations - The biggest legal mistakes women make when emotions are running high - How custody decisions actually get made (and what courts care about) - What women should be thinking about long before they ever file This conversation is eye-opening, especially if you’re questioning your marriage, supporting a friend through divorce, or trying to understand your options before things escalate. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence or feels unsafe, help is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
