There is no limit to how much a taker will take. When… | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/09/25 11:56 PM |

| 1 | Former doormat here getting divorced and trying to be better. Anyone know any other good channels like SSM?You can define what a happy loving relationship is for you. It’s not just about romantic relationships. If you say you are a “ door Matt”. You can learn to create and hold boundaries. Learn about ways you allow people to manipulate you and how you manipulate others. Learn what an enmeshed relationship is romantic or otherwise. It changed my perspective on the world and who I am in it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/07/25 05:38 AM |

| 2 | How do you do it- child support and alimony.Dude. I hear this. I have no idea how they calculate child support. I was paying 50% of my net to child support. Living off 1200 a month. Riding my bike 100km a week. I had my kids 35% of the time. And paying for court. I was right in the edge of just pan handling and collecting bottles. What is the point of working 40-50 hours a week for 1000? | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/04/25 03:46 PM |

When it does fail it’s a spectator financial emotional set back.people just use there children as tools to inflict emotional pain. I doubt I will ever even live with another woman.lots of people are talking shit about prenuptial or cohabitation agreement. Even with those things it’s not worth it. Divorce will still cost you obscene amounts of money. Chil… | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/03/25 02:10 AM |

| 1 | Strategies to get a narcissist to settleThere are no strategies. You will have to self represent. I’m in the same boat. Narcissistic people don’t see you as an equal. They will always be there to throw sand in the gears. Just because they can. You have to always fight for basic equality. You have to always do your best for your kids. That being said your best isn’t always going to be what you think it is. Counselling is key, you want as much impartial 3 rd party influence. Surrender trying to control the situation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/12/22 06:17 PM |
| 1 | advice on how to afford to live after divorce.I’m in the Same boat. We do a 3/4 split but I pay full child support and don’t collect child tax or get to claim them. I go to the food bank regularly. Walk ride my bike. Working harder or more is not the answer. At this point it puts you in a higher tax / support bracket. Thin of inventive ways to get by. Being poor sucks. But it’s not the worst thing to happen. Good luck. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/11/22 04:41 PM |
| 2 | I want to abandon my childrenThis is good advice. I have support from a coda group I’m involved in. I did talk to my sponsor. I think I just hit a real low spot after having police at my home agin. I thought my kids might avoid this drama. But I can see that’s not possible. Thanks for reaching out. I’ll definitely look into the other groups. You are correct having a supportive community is key. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/10/22 02:31 PM |
