He was legally separated from his wife, telling her he would work on the marriage and telling me divorce was imminent. Lying to both of us. I found your book and we both read it, as bizarre as all this sounds, it was traumatic for all involved….except of course the Narc. There were times I could tell he enjoyed the pain he was causing. It made me physically sick! When everything was out in the open I still couldn’t walk away! I was an addict and he was my drug! He cheated on his wife with me and cheated on me with at least 4 women that I know of. In 2 weeks it will be a year of no contact. I’m still angry – he created this dreamscape that he had no intention of fulfilling. He’s a monster and I don’t care what made him that way. I don’t need to forgive him either. J.

As always an amazing post. It is interesting you note a correlation between societal events and the increase in narcissism. They seem to thrive in chaos, swooping in to be that hero or white knight in any chaotic situation. But I guess it’s all about getting that fix, that attention, that admiration right? I agree I could care less how that got that way. It’s about the damage they do in the here and now. Thank you again for your insights.
