Personality disorders are not bipolar disorders.
I have, unfortunately, encountered Mr. Micklin. He is very well-versed in personality disorders (i.e. narcissistic, borderline, etc.) because he knows it intimately. He's in the same category. I was a client of his. He took advantage of me financially and is not a skilled lawyer or an ethical person. His own partner at the time called me on the QT and told me to get rid of him. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing — WATCH OUT. He actually made a donation to the Rachel Coalition so that he could get abused women as customers. I don't know what it's going to take to expose this guy, but I will!
what would happen if the abused spouse has a nervous breakdown during the divorce ? does it get posponed ?
my ex has severe major depressive disorder and abandoned us on jan 10. he quit taking his meds, etc. his sister committed suicide in oct. so he had a mental breakdown. he was emotionally abusive and sometimes phsycially abusive. we have 3 kids and they are all special needs. so luckily my trust has protected the kids and I. I got full custody thank God, but he is literally scaring the hell out of me! I filed with the psychiatrist blessing bc after 17 years of marriage his mind was gone. so sad, but he is has a anti social personality disorder as well. I feel so sad for my kids, but it has just gotten worse weekly. I have a retired DA for an attorney, so far so good, but I am just sad that mental illness has stolen my spouse. it is genetic from what the doc says, but still. oh well, can't live in the past :(
Brad – super helpful info. Going through this now. Was curious – could I get a powerpoint or soft copy of your lecture?
Minnesota connection?
35:00 great advice
so, my ex has NPD and BPD. How does one get her diagnosed with this clinically so that the courts will recognize her destruction? Any help, links, books, would be helpful. I am a paralegal looking at self-educating myself as much as I can. Thank you!
I would never hire a lawyer that can't spell, let alone one that thinks NPD is a type of bi-polar disorder.
WOW! Everyone should think twice about Micklin's supposed law degree!
I fear that you will perceived as overstating this. If anything, you are understating the situation. In many cases it is virtually inevitable that the police, and social services will become involved. The first rule is NEVER, EVER speak to police or social workers! They will try to intimidate you, but wait for your day. See this video on You-Tube "Dont Talk to Police" THIS IS Rule #1
My experience has led me to believe that a bipolar female will have strong borderline traits with narcissistic undertones and males will trend towards narcissism with borderline undertones.
I feel that with so-called social disorders becoming more prevalent — blame technology or society… whatever — training, or at least awareness, of these disorders will be a must for lawyers who are genuinely interested in serving their clients' overall interests, health and well-being. The fact that this video exists at all suggests a sensitivity and pioneering attitude in Mr. Micklin that I hope exists in a growing number of lawyers who practice family law.
Where are you located ? I totally needed this info for my case. I thought I was the only one. Tips and tricks for co parenting with some one who has npd and has effect on our 3 year old daughter?
a lawyer telling everyone like he's a doctor. welcome to the now : )
CHECK SPELLING OF YOUR HEADING.
Thank you for this. GREAT tips and ideas that I did not know and will most certainly use.
Yes this is my ex ……I spent over $400,000 bc he fought me on every issue now I have to take him back to court for an enforcement issues. I have run out of funds to use on a attorney. Any information on representing yourself?
Do you have any advice about a Narcissist wife who is trying to make her husband pay alimony even if she remarries.
NPD is not a type of bipolar disorder. Bipolar involves brain chemistry and NPD is caused by family relationships as a child.
With regard to the Caitlyn Ricci v. Michael Ricci, et al., the problem is with the NJ Family Court system laws. Why is it that married people are NOT required to support their child after the age of emancipation but divorced couples and couples who were never married who are entangled in the NJ court system are required to pay for their child's ongoing education after high school? In Pennsylvania, the PA Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that the law was unconstitutional because it violated the equal protection act of the United States Constitution since it applied to only divorced, separated or unmarried parents. In other words, NJ basis its law on the belief that married people ALWAYS take care of their children and provide for their child's education. Now let's look at this realistically. There is a big difference between a young child who is unable to provide and care for himself than it is for a child who is basically an "adult". If the law recognizes the child as an adult then why is it mandatory for the parents to pay for that child's education and only parents who fall into those classes of people? Is this just and fair? I would have to say no. So, with that said I have an idea. Why doesn't the NJ Family Court system make it mandatory for parents to put a portion of the child support (like maybe 10 percent) of the child support in a trust fund for the child's post high school education? Another idea is for someone in NJ to hire an attorney willing to challenge the law on the basis which I just pointed out? No law is written in stone. It takes someone with a determination for justice to challenge the law and to change it. So, with that in mind, I am planting the seed out here for someone to hear what I am saying and to make change. Being angry about NJ law is not getting us anywhere. I live in PA and this doesn't apply to me but I am piqued by this issue because I am a legal assistant.
People do not understand the abuses.
People also don't understand the grief of the loss…."of the person we thought we knew, and never really was"……death of a spouse would have been easier to survive, the choices that this "revealed" man now makes that are so vicious, are too much, and sound to others, to be unbelievable. It was like meeting the devil.
From Pennsylvania. Divorce was final in 2009. He was the "N" who came from a divorced family, mine are still married. Nobody could be more honest than me. He seemed perfect. Darkness set in about 13 years into marriage. At the year of our 20th, he wanted a divorce. Very Cut and Dry! At section 25 of your presentation, I felt "believed", I don't know if you would understand that? Long story short, it all happened like you said. He pounded me down so emotionally, that I went into a deep depression, he took advantage of my weakness, and actually encouraged it by emotionally abusing me. I told the police "I wish he had hit me, so that I could show you the mark". He destroyed me, when he got custody of my three kids. I have never dated. He brought in the girlfriend right away to the home that WE built. My kids have been living under his thumb. I cannot find employment full time. I was a secretary before starting a family, and I cannot get a job. The nice girl with the nice family, got the shitty end, and now I live with the shame of the divorce, and shame of having lost custody to a narcissist. Thank you so much….I usually don't seek out these things on the internet! You can even see my facebook page if you are curious DonnellyBarb and Sleighton Farm Views. Take Care….Your New Fan in Pennsylvania, Delaware County!
Hello Brad, Your video was very helpful to me. I am located in Houston and wonder if you know of lawyers here who may specialize with these types of personalities–and maybe not so as"expensive". I have caught my husband in an affair but am not surprised as I am wife #3 and mother#4 of his last born children. he has 4 or 5 mothers of his 9 children. He is NPD, and a functioning alcoholic. He gets drunk when at home and not while at work. My 4 children are all his and the youngest is 11 with the oldest being 14. I currently unemployed but was trying to get my business off the ground but understand that it as well as the house are all community property which I may have to give up if so decreed in the divorce. I do not want to save my marriage as he has proven that it is not something he wants. I have suffered years of abuse sexually, physically, mentally, as well as financially….He does make false allegations and oh my goodness "gas lighting" drives me crazy!!! as If I was dumb. thank you sooo much for posting this video. a light has been turned on for me, even if you cannot assist me! Thank you!
I'm sorry but I don't know anyone there.
Brad, your video helped me a lot, this info is priceless. Are you aware of any resources in Indiana? Can you recommend a layer over here please?
I'm divorcing my NPD husband of 28 years and the lies are so egregious! And our kids are grown and he's still making crazy accusations so he doesn't have to pay spousal maintenance since I've been disabled for years. He's trying to somehow prove I'm not disabled after the state said I was ten years ago. On and on all these nutty lies.
the best way to divorce a NPD is making sure the NPD has a new supply..While they are busy grooming their next victim.. you can get away…
Thanks for this post ! I wish i could afford an attorney. I have divorce court and custody court coming up soon against a narcissist ! Please pray for me
I WISH HE WOULD GO TO HELL… 2 YEARS DOWN THE LINE, HE IS STILL MAKING UP LIES ABOUT ME
