Divorcing a narcissist - real estate
Hi all
I haven't posted in a while about this topic. because I am trying to heal emotionally, but I need to get some things off my chest.
Last night we had an excellent offer on the family home from some potential buyers. I accepted the offer but my ex refused to sign, and it appears the deal is now fallen through. You see she is currently occupying the house, and is making my life extremely difficult, by forcing me to pay the mortgage while she lives for free. The home sale would be a huge burden relief for me and she is weaponizing it right now.
She is making unrealistic demands, and is emotionally battering me through emails, and through the real estate deal I am trying to make. The realtor is very frustrated as well, and I spoken to them, to advise that from now on all contact will be through my lawyer. They are understanding with me and I feel like they are doing the best they can, but it is difficult for everyone involved, even realtors, dealing with a covert narcissist.
Last night after she chose to not accept the offer, she sent me an abusive email, and I know, I should block her, change my email, etc. So what am I to do. A court ordered no-contact seems like the right way to go, possibly cutting all funding to her, and possibly foreclosing on the mortgage? I am trying to get a legal separation agreement in place, but she is refusing financial disclosure.
Bad times my friends.
Oh man. What a cluster. Foreclosing seems like a bad idea. The impact of that will last long term. Hopefully the lawyers can find a way to get her out of there or force her to buy you out if she won’t leave.
Hang in there. Maybe there are divorce support groups on line where people who have made it through similar obstacles can give useful advice.
Thanks Dfinn, I spoke to the realtor again, and she called my wife back. hopefully things are in motion. She said she was going to try to convince her to sign the deal, because its the best offer we are likely to get.
Real estate is stressful enough, even in normal life, let alone dealing with a psychopathic person.
