How Did You Meet?
Describe your marriage before the problem.
Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.
When my educated daughter told me what I was enduring was emotional abuse. Me being a psychology major in College, denied this to her. It couldn't be....could it? Exploration took me to a therapist, who told me that I had been "narcissized".
What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?
After reading everything I could get my hands on regarding narcissism and realizing what I was married to....what it was doing to me (I was disappearing)....I filed for divorce. To say the "shit hit the fan" is an understatement. Don't ever pick a fight with a narcissist unless you can afford & sustain the wounds he'll inflict on you.
If you're not yet divorced, what is your greatest fear?
If you're not yet divorced, what two tips would you share with others?
If your divorce is final, what was the hardest part of the divorce?
The ugliness that came out of the person I thought I knew for over twelve years. He was "insulted" that I wanted to divorce him and proceeded to "kill me off" regarding anyone that would listen to him....family, friends, strangers....
If your divorce is final, what two tips would you share with others?
For women: Save whatever money you can. Set up your own credit accounts. Get female support for the bad patches.
