Thank you for your kind words. It’s been 2 years, I’ve got some distance, I’m pretty healthy these days!! Enough to pour my humiliation on a public forum at least! =) I’m grateful he left, I’m grateful that my son wont grow up seeing his mother abused. I still worry because narcissists breed narcissists, that’s what created it in him! My friends tell me that my son will be fine because I’m his mom and I see it now. =)

You have an advantage over me, you realize it’s abuse and you’re willing to look at it honestly. I hope for you that you take the words here to heart and flyyyyyyyyyyyyyy away, that man exists to steal your wings!! =)))

I didn’t think of mine as a narcissist either. We were together for 14 years and it wasn’t until 6 months after he came home and declared he was “done” that I realized that I was in an abusive relationship. I left so many times and he reeled me back in each time with his perfect plans to change and even acted on them until he had me sucked back in. He never changed. We have a child together and I’m trapped and cannot get away. The court won’t protect me from him because proving emotional abuse is nearly impossible and requires more money than I have. He still blames me for everything including his job performance, his finances, his relationship, our son getting strep throat… it never ends. He’s paranoid and defensive in his every interaction with me and it’s exhausting.

They are master manipulators and so charming, it’s like they put you under a spell of some sort and say all of the right words, but their actions are only short lived.

He left two years ago and I’m still single, still working through the damage, the regret, the humiliation and healing that broken piece of me that wanted to feel the way he treated me.

Don’t walk away… RUN.
