Are these typical cycles of rejected narcissists?
Ex H has been really putting on the show since I have set up boundaries. Mother's day flowers, texts, phone calls, etc. I have ignored most of them, and the one's that I have read, I have not responded to. Now, he misses me, he is terribley alone, I am the best mom, and now we are moving into suicidal threats. He is so depressed he wants to kill himself, he can't believe how much he misses the kids, etc. He also thinks that maybe he should find a therapist because he is dealing with my anger issues!
Is this a typical pattern in letting go? Once they feel you genuinely moving away, do they put on the love show, then play suicidal, then blame you? Have any of you witnessed this cycle?
For a second, I felt empathy and then I quickly remembered that this was his wonderful creation. Its not like I asked him to cheat on his wife and kids. It is not like I didn't give him more than a half dozen chances to work through these issues. With each opportuinity he just flaunted her in my face and acted so smug. I remember once asking him how he could look at himself in the mirror. He pulled me into the bathroom, and smugly looked at himself in the mirror, saying, i think I am great, pretending to comb his hair back. I left the bathroom and threw up.
Today I got a text that said he misses me so damn much. I deleted and didn't respond. I felt like saying, honestly, I don't care. At the moment, I can say I feel numb. It is like any remote feelings I had for him are gone. I just see him as sadly pathetic.
