I’m 39, mum to a 6-year-old girl and newly single after finally leaving a narcissistic marriage. Currently navigating a really nasty divorce and honestly, it’s a LOT.
I have some amazing friends, but I’ve realised you don’t really get divorce unless you’ve been through it yourself.
Would love to connect with another mum who’s been through something similar — whether you’re in the thick of it or on the other side.
I’m in the Manawatū but happy to connect via text with anyone around NZ. Just looking for someone who gets the “you won’t believe what happened now” chats.

I wasn’t married to my ex narc but he turned when I got pregnant. Long story but back in the court system/talking with lawyers again as found out some really heavy stuff and he’s denying it all even with evidence 😩🤦♀️ I have a 3 and a half year old girl to him who I’ve had day to day care of right from the start but he still sees her even for overnights 3 out of 4 weekends just a sat. I’m struggling a lot as my daughter hates leaving me to go. She was also 8 weeks early so I’ve dealt with a lot. I’ve love to chat more x I’m in chch though 🩷

I’ve been through it too, not marriage but narcissistic exes, separations and 2 kids. It’s tough. Happy to stay in touch x
Oh I totally understand the denying it even with evidence. My ex has lied in sworn affidavits, and I have hard evidence. Don’t mind where you are based :) x

Oh gosh... I absolutely feel for you.
I have a friend that is going though this right now. Her ex is absolutely nasty person. She is strong but I can see she needs friends to talk to. I wish I can introduce you to her. You would have sooo much in common. She has 2 beautiful boys.
We actually met here on peanut.
