I want to go back to these posts because if I can just help ONE person in this world-that is enough for me! I want to talk a little more about narcissists... Johnny had stomach issues, nothing the doctors could ever figure out or put a name to. However, his symptoms would always "flare" up when someone else was getting more attention than him-even from another state! For example, I had a miscarriage when I was 17 weeks along 10 years ago. Went to the hospital, saw my babies tiny limbs coming out, was dizzy from the meds they gave me...I was a mess. Heart broken and I felt destroyed. Two days after that Johnny goes to the hospital with "stomach pains". He hated any attention being on someone other than himself. When I complained or cried about my pain-he would say you don't know what it's like to have the pain I have. And then he'd say you can always have another kid... Every time he put me down and my feelings down, he made me feel as though what I felt didn't matter or I was out of control for what I felt. This year, from FL on his daughter's BIRTHDAY he went to the hospital for these "stomach issues". If you have experienced this type of abuse or are right now--you are NOT alone!

I am sorry you had to suffer for this egoist man. He surely wanted to be the center of the universe. You are better alone than with this man.

@LadyDuck Thank you, it was a lot of hard years. However, I have learned so much about myself, lack of boundaries I used to have, lack of self worth I used to have and I am SO much better of a person now than I used to be.

@LadyDuck Absolutely!! And I will never ever rush into a relationship again in the future. If that's Gods plan for me someday I will wait for the one who doesn't make me feel less than for any reason.

I know of few such cases in my circle. And it is tough to stay in such relationship. Fortunately, I have not faced it. But have seen people suffering. Good that you took a stand for yourself and walked out.

I guess it's good you only have to put up with him from a distance.
