Nancy Perpall: Divorce, Law and Wisdom
Nancy was a well regarded nurse, but when she suggested improvements within the medical system, no one took her seriously. She wondered what she could do to be heard:
“What can I do to be taken seriously? So I went to law school.”
Nancy set her sights on becoming a malpractice lawyer, a natural compliment to her medical background. But instead she was assigned to divorce cases.
“Divorce is woman’s work,” she was told.
That was 32 years ago. Since then Nancy has build a substantial and highly profitable practice centered on divorce. Through her own travails and those of her clients, she has come to see certain patterns.
On Marriage: Probably 75% of the people said to me, in the first interview, I knew I was making a mistake;
On Infidelity: There’s sexual infidelity, there’s emotional infidelity. And now in family law, we talk about financial infidelity.
On Narcissistic Behavior: Narcissism is really feeling so inadequate.
From her experiences she has written a novel “Around Which All Things Bend” that tackles aspects of marriage, relationship and human behavior. And in her upcoming book The Malnourished Marriage she looks at some of the relationship pitfalls leading to divorce that we can all avoid. You can learn more at NancyPerpall.com.
