re: Narcissistic Personality Disorder

I haven't posted on TD in years but I came across your thread and feel compelled to add to all the advice you've been given. A family member of mine was married to a narcissist. She had kids before the marriage, just like you. He ended up leaving her after 10 years of absolute horror- he left her (thank God) but she was so under his thumb and lost that she didn't realize how bad it was until many years later.
The problem is that her children greatly suffered because he inflicted his weird mind game shite on them too. Two of the three have serious issues, one is a substance addict and the other can't maintain any relationships bc they're so afraid to be like their Mom.
You also have to think of your kids. He's not just messing with you in all this.


eta- please, please, take all the advice that's been given to you. This person isn't changing and you and your kids will be the only ones who suffer.
