Seeing the light...
Wow! There are others besides me! I am one who has to learn to cope-no options. I hit bottom in Jan. when it all hit me and I lost myself. They found me on a deserted beach after a big storm. I had taken every drug I could. washed down with a bottle of wine. I really hope that no one else has a meltdown in this way. After I got out of the hospital, I started gaining strength. Now, although I realize that there will not be a cure for my N husband, I now know the enemy. I can understand the compulsive gambling, alcohol abuse, verbal abuse, etc., etc. Although we have only been married 7 years (my third), at the wise old age of 64, I realize and accept that this is what I have to live with. I am developing coping strategies so that I will never, ever lose my self again. Knowing how many of us are out there is a wonderful discovery. I continue to educate myself on this disorder daily. Knowledge is truly power!

Re: Seeing the light...
thank you! I hope to learn all I can about the NPD so that I might learn as much as I can to help myself. Also, I will share any strategies that are helpful. Mostly, I am just happy to discover others who are living with this.

Re: Seeing the light...
This is my first time here. After constantly being punished and physically assaulted for standing up for myself and my 5 children, he left me (one of the ways he would punish me would be to disappear for days because I would rebel at his tantrums). I immediately fell apart and searched for him (the abused, confused, and angry victim that I was). Found him with someone else who was more than happy to physically assault me when I confronted him (completely set up by him). I looked and felt like a crazy person. No more, filed divorce and now he is playing victim. I am starting to see how evil he was to me. I can't even go out because of how he made me feel and looked. I wish I knew what I was dealing with when I fell in love with him. I give a lot of you credit for trying to live with this, but I couldn't.
