Metalsauce,
The worst thing you can do is point out her NPD. Google NPD on youtube. There's an author with a million posts that will help you to learn more about these people. His name is Sam Vankin. I wish I would've found him before I made the biggest mistake of mine, my family's, and my children's lives, which was when I found some literature that listed the qualifying criteria that he met 100% and sent it to him, begging that we work together to manage in hopes that our family could be saved. That was over three years ago, and I'm still under constant attack and we all are suffering from it every single day. DO NOT POINT IT OUT, no matter what you do!

Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks a lot, in advance.
Edit: I placed this in this forum specifically because I wanted to know how diagnosed narcissists realized there was a problem. I will have it moved if it belongs somewhere else, but someone will have to point me in the right direction, because I don't know how to have it done.
