Has anyone here ever been involved with a narcissist in the court system?

they the abuser, the perpetrator, you the victim, and somehow they convincingly turn the table and make you look like- and others believe it- are the one doing the abusing or whatever?

I am sorry you are dealing with that! I have no experience as I have never reported what I went through, but is there anyway you can find someone to speak for you?? A better lawyer(if you already have one, which I assume you do), even a counselor, other people to testify to your honesty as a person??
Goodluck!

Many abusers are master manipulators who are good at making others believe lies, and good at turning tables on those they victimize. This is sad. But you can still know the truth and work to help others know it too. Hard work though.
Thanks for this!

Excellent point. Those of us that have been cruelly subjected to abuse, can usually sense another person that's about to continue a manipulation. You can allow it or put an immediate stop to it.

thank you as I know you mean well. situation is much more complex. but when you have a master manipulator that has time and money and people they pay to help lie in court ...then there is no easy quick or immediate stop.
the people that are helping will be next on his list. meaning this is how narcissists work. I am not the first nor will I be the last- I am just the next person now.
I guess if I had lots of money I could hire a great attorney and that would probably help and the only way I can envision immediate stop.
or moving to the Artic Circle. ;-)
Thanks for this!

I haven't dealt with it as an adult, but I did as a kid. When I spoke up about my abuse, he was buddies with the cop and the judge (I've used the phrase "big fish in a small pond" to describe this before) and so I was the one who ended up having to take the lie detector test and having to apologize for my behavior in front of the family counselor.
