Some people are so very loyal, caring and loving by nature. To a fault sometimes. It is hard for them to fathom that someone would play a false role in order to manipulate their friends and loved ones. Or that they could resort to rage, abuse and cruelty when not getting what they want. Spoiled brats. But these disordered people are out there... ready to prey upon these kind souls... always on the prowl for an easy mark. Don't dwell on the past with these people. Rejoice in the fact that you have seen them for the fakes that they are and you are taking the steps to break free. 6 years seems like an eternity. But there are those who suffer the narcissist for decades and their only escape is when one or the other dies. Consider yourself lucky. You are not like them. You are better. You deserve better.
