I can't find an appropriate place for this - seeking legal advice, or advice from folks with a malignant narcissist in [View all]

their lives causing issues (and no, I don't mean t*(#p - I guess we are all dealing with one)

From what I've read, it would be wise for our daughter to seek legal representation from a family law firm with an understanding of navigating the challenge of one parent being a malignant narcissist - her current lawyer may be just that, but what her former boyfriend (parent of our grandson) is pulling daily is driving us nuts.

I won't go into it any deeper here - suffice to say that we've found out our daughter's boyfriend (and dad of our grandson, who is 1 year old) has a 15 year (at least) span of drunk driving citations, harassment (e stalking), breaking in and physical assault - alcohol and other substance abuse. He checks all the malignant narcissist boxes - serial liar, manipulator, gaslighter -

We care for our grandson pretty much full time (his mom works full time). We've had a criminal hearing - the lying sack of shit put on a show and the judge was swayed. There is a temporary custody agreement that he continually fights. We know there will be future hearings, fights, etc -

But the big question is how one deals with this sort of monster? His parents have covered up for him and enabled him for years.

So - any words of wisdom? It is fine to take this to DU messages, since I probably shouldn't say more. The asshole and I have a 6 month no contact in place.

thanks friends.
