Just separated with my BD 3 months ago who's an extreme narcissist.... Having an extremely hard time coping.. I was diagnosed with PTSD from him from his verbal and mental abuse... Have 50/50 with him for my son who's only 15mo... He really tries to mess with my head every time I pick him up or drop him off. Any tips for dealing Id greatly appreciate

Sending you wishes for peace 🙏 Nedra's content is helpful, I personally found her book 'set boundaries find peace' to be helpful - here's her site w workbooks, etc but her IG can help too https://www.nedratawwab.com/

Also just saying it will be easier in time to have distance and freedom from his manipulation 🙏 the more time that passes the easier it gets, so focus on one day at a time

I’m so sorry to hear about this. Sometimes I wish I could have picked a different path for the father of my kid. Do you have a court order?

just that we split our son 50/50 and have to drive 45 mins to drop off and pick up cause it's in the middle.. hes a contractor and makes 1000$ a time like nothing and I'm on Cash aide barely surviving yet when he took our son at first my WIC got canceled and now HE has it...so he's getting assistance...I can't even afford to go pick my son up this month.. idk what to do. I want to give up

ugh :( sending hugs and good vibes! Please call wic and explain to them. Also contact your county assistance office!! I’m definitely keeping you in my prayers these kids don’t belong in these dramas :/

so I did call WIC and explained and they said there was nothing they could do....idk how that is but clearly they didn't care
