For those who are wanting info and support in dealing with Narcissism, please go to http://letmereach.com/ or Google "Let me Reach with Kim Saeed". It is one of the most informative sites I have come accross on this subject. Also google "Overt vs Covert Narcissism".

Even though your partner may not display all the charateristics of a plain narcissist, there are different characteristics that overt N's display that covert N's don't and vice versa. I know someone who flips between the two depending on the situation.

Sailor, How are you doing? Currently, I'm drinking wine and fantasizing the custody discussion with SGD-12's BD & SM (SD-29/elusive felon) ...

Hope all is well.

Oopps, that will probably read poorly as typed. How is your lawyer? How is proposed-ex-DH? Are you finally shed of that situation? FFS. I have never forgotten you posting about sleeping on the floor.

So, it's late and I am imagining conversations with my own crazy family situation. I do hope that you are feeling free.

Hi Indigo,

Things are in hand and progressing. I'm at a cross-road at the moment, but today is D-Day. I've drawn a line in the sand and a final decision will be made later today.

I spent two weeks in a psychiatric clinic as I had a complete breakdown. I've been working really hard on myself with a team of professionals and I am on different medication which is working much better for me. Today's D-Day is an arbitary, yet ultimately important day.

It's a weird concept that each day we can call a "do-over." In a sense, I've tried to express this to my son. We open our eyes and have an opportunity to recreate ourselves every day. (Through the grace of God/Yahweh/the Universal Energy, etc)

Absolutely.... love your view. And each day we have the power to grow more and more if we just ALLOW ourselves to.

But we are own best critics!

I'm off to bed now. Blessings to you. Keep up the positive movement with your DH or w/o DH or some odd mix in-between. Remember to protect yourself as best as possible --- emotionally, physically, financially.

Thanks for that link. It is one of the best to explain Narcissists. My friend is dealing with one and has sent this link to her lawyer to try to explain him.
The lawyer is treating him like a regular person and we all know you can't do that.

I'm glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself. It will get better and you will come out of this a better person.

Hey. Good to see you around. I'm glad that you are doing as well as can be expected.

Thank you also for that knowledge. My BIL shows a lot of narcissistic tendencies but plays the victim a lot. I thought that was odd and made me question my opinion. But that explains a LOT. He is a covert narcissist.
