Surviving Covert Narcissistic Abuse: Kids, Courts & Money
What happens when you leave a covert narcissist — but the war doesn't end? In this episode of Pulling Threads, I sit down with Trish Michael, author, publisher, and creator of trauma-informed books and courses for families healing from narcissistic abuse and high conflict divorce.
Trish spent 20 years married to a covert narcissist and has been navigating co-parenting, court battles, and financial recovery for the eight years since. She didn't write her books to sell them — she wrote them to help her own kids survive. They've now sold in the tens of thousands.
In this deeply honest conversation, we talk about what it actually looks like to heal — for yourself and your children — when the abuse doesn't stop just because the relationship did.
In this episode:
How covert narcissists make you look like the problem — even in court
The golden child, the scapegoat, and how abuse lands differently on each child
Why you can't treat PTSD when you're still on the battlefield
What really happens in courtrooms (and why victims are often misread)
Weaponizing differentiation in teenagers — and how narcs use independence against you
Financial abuse: how narcissists keep you broke through endless litigation
What Trish's Financial Freedom After Narcissistic Abuse™ program covers
How Trish found a healthy relationship — and what inner work made that possible
Breaking generational cycles of abuse
