If the partner is really the root of the issue it may be time to start researching exit strategies. I was lucky when I left my narcissistic first husband because I was the bigger earner - this was many years ago.

I was able to use resources at a local shelter in terms of finding support groups etc. But they also had places to stay for folks who just needed to get out for safety reasons and didn't have funds.
