Hi, I'm new to this forum but am a long time member of the Neurological disorder (TOS) forum.

I NEED HELP!!!

I'm a repeat victim of NPD... I thought I had this monster nailed, but dang if I haven't been duped again by a smooth talking attentive man who lead me down a path of ultimate love - only to be SMASHED again - dropped cruely, "oh, we can be friends with privelidges, but I can't love any woman. I'm not wired that way". RIGHT.

I don't think I can trust anything anyone says to me again.

My ex #3 lied to me on such a deep personal level that I really did believe I couldn't trust again. Which is why I so carefully screened this old friend of 20 years ago. Watching for all the red flags and keywords... ex#2 took me 8 years to finally say enough is enough. #3 took only 2 years - that's when I read up on NPD here:

after this last event, I had to go back and reread... sure enough. another NPD monster.
I guess I didn't want it to be so... and ignored the warnings.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to heal? or at least regain my self respect? I see a counselor 1x mo and attend a weekly Group for women w/chronic pain and depression. Any small helpful hints? any other horror stories out there, so I don't feel so alone and singularly LIED TO???

thanks,
Anne
