I see posts all the time from individuals who are wondering what they did wrong...why the OW/OM seems to get all the attention. Why would the Narc even NEED another woman/man if we were enough? The truth is...we ARE enough. We CAN be both the madonna and whore all in one amazing package. It is the Narcissist who can't handle all of us and must compartmentalize us into 2 catagories due to his/her disorder. The fact that your Narcissist has other women or men in his/her life is not a reflection of you being incomplete...but rather points to the fragmented and incomplete nature of the Narcissist. When you start to self doubt or wonder if the "other" person in the Narc's life is getting something "better" than you...remember that the Narcissist can never accept anyone as a complete package. They will always compartmentalize and always have "options" outside of that person (whether it be another person, internet porn etc.). The main point is...don't ever feel like you aren't enough because you were with someone who was disordered!! You ARE enough and you will find someone who can appreciate ALL of you.
HUGS.

February 22, 2012 - 12:32pm — aquabellaSo well said, TNR! Although the N will do everything in his power to make us feel we are not enough...it is NOT true. Until each and every one of us do the work necessary to KNOW that we are complete and enough, we will continue to let these people into our lives. The intellectual knowledge alone is not enough, you have to know it in your heart, your soul, and your spirit.
Every one of us is complete and enough...believe it!

BRAVO
February 22, 2012 - 11:55am — neverlookbackDoesnt it feel great to reach that point? It took me so long to believe I was ALWAYS ENOUGH - when you have nothing inside you will take anything you can get to fill that void as they do. I believe others validate their existence - a piece here, a piece there - can you imagine putting a puzzle together that way? It would look a mess, nothing matching...
We were MORE than enough - problem is nothing can make them complete from others - must be that gray matter on the brain that hinders their ability to ever figure that out x0x0
