Am I going mad?  That's the question on many women's minds who are struggling to leave narcissistic relationships.  

Trigger warning - the content in todays podcast might stir up a few emotions so only listen if you're feeling strong and ready to fight the good fight.  

My guest today is an ex family solicitor who helps people struggling to leave abusive relationships and litigate in person (that means, attend divorce court without a solicitor). 

She says, that when it comes to divorce, women are blamed for EVERYTHING and she believes women would be ill advised to mention the menopause as part of court proceedings especially when children are involved.  

My answer to that was "but surely that's because men and lawyers are not educated properly on the menopause?"  

"If they knew that low tolerance to stress and mood swings was caused by an oestrogen and progesterone deficiency, might they have more compassion and stop blaming the personality?"

The answer to that is challenging and you'll need to listen to the episode to find out more.
