I am new to this site. I registered as a suggestion from my counselor. The stress was overwhelming me. The constant texts and emails. I couldn't focus at work, I was constantly afraid of what the next communication would say. I was married to a narcissist for 11 years and have been divorced for nine. I honestly didn't think being a "narcissist" was a real thing until lately. Then I started reading on it. I can tell you the marriage was full of abuse, all kinds. I kept saying I wouldn't take it forever. I prayed every which way from Sunday to make it work. One day, I asked myself "if this is as good as it gets - is it good enough?" That is when I left. The comical part of that was that I thought the abuse would stop with the divorce. We have a child in common, so it is likely it won't stop until the child is 18. Or at least lesson. I don't know that I helped you any other than to say you are not alone. I know I feel better knowing that.
