You are sooo kind!! Unfortunatly this NPD wasn't brought to my attention until after we were divorced. I would have LOVED to have an excuse WHY he didn't care about me....WHY my feelings didn't matter.....WHY everything was always my fault (yes, even his countless affairs). Instead I spent 15 years being pushed further and further into depression.
Because I am me (and I can't change that) I actually feel sorry for him. I know he is sick (not to mention an alcoholic sick too). It was hard for me to turn my back on him, it's just not my nature.
I want my daughter to be old enough to understand his illness. I know how much it hurt me (his wife) to not matter, I can't imagine how she feels. I don't want her to hate him. He can't help it!!
Have a nice day!
Love,
