The longer your case will take to fight, the higher the legal costs are likely to be. However, flexible payment plans are available, and most lawyers will come to an agreement that suits you.

the process requires the realization that a person’s character and conduct plays an enormous impact on results.

any two misdemeanor domestic assaults committed within the same 12 months are considered continuous family violence, and you may be brought up on felony-level charges.

Continuous Violence Against the Family is considered a Third-degree felony and is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000

hat if the alleged victim gave brief and non-specific information about the other assault? What if the statement of prior alleged abuse was made by the alleged victim in passing and little to no physical evidence was gathered? What if the prosecutor is relying solely upon the alleged victim’s word?

Since we get our self-esteem from our same sex parent, if they are exhibiting high levels of resentment, it can be devastating to the confidence of the “chosen” child.

The child can live in fear of being demoted as the narcissistic parent will use this threat as a means of control.

highly probably that these children will go on to have adult relationships that might well be abusive in the same way, where the adult child always puts the needs of others before their own

The sex is usually amazing, like none you have ever experienced, and you crave that "connection".

best to degrade you sexually.

They like to have power over you. When they abuse you, they feel powerful. Some enjoy inflicting physical pain. For others they feel powerful when they sexually satisfy you.

so for as long as i can remember, i have felt ambivalent and anxious about the idea of dating and relationships.

privately i didn't really understand why other people wanted them and why they acted so weird sometimes about it (being obsessed, doing everything together, saying stuff like "she's my queen," it just seemed really wack and annoying) but i guess i just kind of understood that everyone's different and i was also aware that there were other people like me - a couple of my friends and and fictional examples

had really strong attachments to specific people and most of these people i was too shy to talk to that much. i asked a few of them out and got rejected. upon being rejected i would go home and cry but pretty quickly, by the next day, i had figured out how to numb out my emotions and i forced myself to not think about it. this typically made my desire for the person even stronger.

The Golden Child, as the name suggests, is the best and most wonderful child – at least in the eyes of the Narcissistic Mother.

The Golden Child can do no wrong. She gets given the best of everything – perhaps even apartments or houses bought for her. Her most minor achievements are celebrated and held up for admiration. Her misdemeanours are glossed over and ignored.

Growing up the Scapegoat can understandably feel very jealous of the Golden Child.

What makes a 'vulnerable narcissist'?

• i use two pens, one light another dark, for making notes. I use dark pen for making important points and light pen to explain that point. For example: if I'm writing something about, let's say, benzene.

In this way when i reread my notes it's easier as they look short to me and due to using 2 diff colours my notes looks interesting to read. Otherwise i struggle to get past a single page without being overwhelmed.

if i want to do something, here for example, i have to do my laundry but cannot get myself up to do so then I'd put my clothes in a half filled bucket in my shower and leave it.

Protect your self-esteem and self-worth from being affected by the narcissist.

Recognize your qualities that may make you a target for narcissists (e.g., being overly agreeable and accepting).

Rage will tend to show up when the narcissist is stressed by circumstances, so it’s best to avoid them during these times as a form of self-protection
