I’m so glad I could help Barbara. Yes, it’s difficult for others to understand. Especially when the narcissists paints themselves as a model citizen. But it sound like you handled it beautifully! That’s great that your recovery is under way. It can actually be quite an exciting time. I liken it to having weighted boots removed. You’re now free – enjoy!

I can relate to EVERYTHING in your excellent article. I just broke up a 10 year relationship with a malignant narcissist (maybe bordering on sociopathic?) when his latest rage attack scared me so bad I couldn’t even sleep the night it happened. I have no car, money, or food – I was desperate! I finally called my sister in another state, and tried to explain my ex’s behavior that caused me to break up with him. She couldn’t understand, she said it must be my fault that caused him to react with such rage, and finally after much frustrating conversation, she firmly decided the ex must have DEMENTIA! I thought, OK, whatever, just so long as she helped me out of my present dilemma. She sent money electronically to my bank account, and I was able to get a cab to go to the grocery store. Now that he is gone, I feel so relieved, and so much calmer. It is so hard for me to believe that someone who once proclaimed to love me could have gone from such a kind, loving soul to such a violent monster! I have always believed that people are basically good, and have your best interest at heart – unfortunately, no more! I am already on the road to recovery, and look forward to a brighter future. Thanks for sharing your views – it helps me understand what I went through, and that it was not my fault! So important to know to recover your life, and happiness.
