Also when you are raised with disfunction to put it mildly. Looking back, I think of what I put up with. I should have gone no contact but I didn't. If I could do it all over again...
IMO...it's the steps you just have to go through, kind of like grief. You can drive yourself crazy, doubting yourself, blaming yourself etc. All the while, they stand by still trying to play the victim.
So, I am going through a phase that will end. I have already said no and we will never get together and that's it. I let him go on that note. I know in my heart we can't make a go of it. So, I'll just keep on trucking along and know that "this too shall pass".
I will check it out. Thanks a bunch.
Yes, it will pass.
The narcissist can paint such a realistic, make believe picture when it suits their needs that it is often difficult to extract ourselves from that. Most likely they have done this with others in their group, family or friends. I watched my father go from one persona to another in just the blink of an eye, depending on who was around to witness it. In your heart of hearts I believe you know what to do, but yes, it is very hard. I wish you the strength to do it.
Yes... I've heard people (professionals and laymen alike) refer to it as "seasons." Those bad/sad seasons of everyone's lives do indeed end to make room for the next one. And there *will* be a next one... I think sometimes people get hung up on the grief and forget that fact.
I am all in on going forward. Thank you for responding.

The more you get your power back, the universe will open up for you, and all the things, people, activities you were closed off to before, will reappear in your life.
