Bad day

I dont know if it was to be expected but today was a really hard day for me , this weekend i had a run in with my narc where i let rip at him , i got nothing back from him apart from lame blaming and shaming , i dont know if i expected an apology or what really but it was a chance meeting and i exploded , he then freaked out at 2 of my girlfriends which is hard to take too . I have just felt wiped out all day with anxiety and the cryings back . after a couple of positive weeks where i thought things where finaly going well . I just want a sorry from him , a sorry i didnt deserve all that and he was an idiot .
How he think he can try and get my girlfriends on his side is laughable , he ran out when i was pregnant, they are never going to sancion that .
You know girlfriends i dont know how you girls who have to see youre narc do it, just a 5 minute interaction with mine has sent me in a spiral . Its like with no contact i had developed a mind set which was getting positive and self assured , i had changed and was being a new me but with 5 short minutes that was threatened and such bad feelings came flooding back , see , he hasnt changed , i thought because i had changed he might of done too .... fail .... I am in such stricked no contact now , i never want to here his stupid voise again .Im heading for 4 months no contact , i had a chat with a new theropist today but he is a man and very expencive.. i made an appointment but i may cancil it as i was having a panic attack at the time we talked . I may try group couciling which is free at the church ... i just wonder how much talking you can do before you go round in circles ... i wish it was 6 months time , i never wished for winter to come before im wishing my life away .

Hi Scoop

Sorry to hear that. It is amazing how just a few minutes with them can cause us to spiral downward. I think it is partially due to the fact that they will probably always stir up feelings in us, while at the same time they have no feelings...and that just doesn't seem fair! and that we keep expecting/hoping they will apologize and they NEVER DO! And it is just hard to understand how they could NOT apologize if it was true when they told us they cared about us so much. But the bottom line is that they never really cared...and it was very easy for them to say the right things to make us think they actually cared - because they were just trying to get something out of us. No real concern. I will probably see mine tomorrow for the first time in several months and am a bit nervous about it. A company celebration for completing our financing - a lunch at work. I am so detached from him emotional now that I think I'll be ok. My one concern is that his physical looks will set me off. So I may just have to avoid looking at him! :)

Ah Scoop. I'm sorry you're

Ah Scoop. I'm sorry you're having a rough day. It's so true what you say that a 5 minute run in with them can cause so much damage. They are so toxic. I think I'd feel the same way if I ran into my X. In fact, I know I would. Glad you're back to no contact....not that you could have helped this last contact by running into him. Talk as much as you need. It's not going around in circles or telling the same story. Each time you talk about it, it's with new knowledge and insight. You're having a bad day but you're still strong and you will get through this. xoxo

Mine hovered by getting friends to meet them and he would be there . Somthing strange did happen today , his best mate called (he is also a good friend of mine which makes things difficult ) he asked me to meet him at the pub for a quick drink , at first i said no but he insisted and i asked him to assure me narc was not there ... he wasnt so i met him and he told me something very intresting , he said that in his view my narc is having a cannibis induce psycosis and has been for a long time ..... hmmm ......i believe him ,he not a sansationlist. ... Narc phoned when we where talking but my friend didnt answer ... hmmm ....Quite frankly i dont care if he ends up in the hospital , in fact if he goes mad then he will know what i have felt ..My narc has also be bending the truth about us beyond recognition ... all of it makes him out to be the good guy , victum blah blah . I put my friend straight . ..... wate a minute members , i recall the starve the vampie post where it says sit back and watch the show of the hover ... it said that at one stage they tell you they have an illness ... am i right ? Scoop x Rainbow my narc did not contact me directly , not after the way i went at him on friday ... just funny his our friend asked to meet today , but who knows ....the mask is off im hoping he will crawl away .

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear how hard today was for you. Sorry I'm a little behind on the boards. I feel your pain. It's amazing how seeing or talking to them just briefly can really send us back. However, look at it this way - it also made you realize how much you do NOT want to have contact with him. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to learn the hard way before we finally learn never to let them back in again. In this case, you didn't have a choice, unfortunately. You just ran into him. It must have been horrible. I'm so sorry. Please know we are here for you and you are not alone. Big hugs and love to you.

I know exaclty what you mean. We are all close knit as well. I have known a lot of his friends since I was in kindergarden. It makes me think alot about what they do. Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy or that I am just being paranoid. Our friends will do something or say something and I never know if I am overanalyzing the situation or not. It makes everything much more difficult.

It does not matter if he is

It does not matter if he is ill, he is making YOU ill and that is not okay. He is an adult, if he is experiencing problems due to addictions then he can deal with it, or not. He is not your problem. Just putting it out there, but ignore him and ask all friends to respect your wish not to hear about him. Peace. J

Peace. J

sorry

Scoop, I am sorry you are having a bad day. If I lived there, I would take you out for a pint and a chat. You are a strong and wonderful person, you will get through this. I have no profound wisdom to offer but am sending a good thought your way.

Aww Scoop

I'm sorry hon. I've gone completely NC with mine, and will likely block his email if I need to, although I doubt it will come to that. My ex managed to snag a couple of my so-called friends away from me. Of course, these were people who I wanted to be friends with and tried to be friends with, but they were so low on self-esteem that they could only worship my ex, despite what he said behind their backs. So I've given up on all those losers, and now I'm focused on real friends. Real friends who will be there for me, on my side, etc. It sounds like you have that, at least! I'm sorry you're feeling so poorly. I'm sure I'll have downswings again soon, but right now all I can think about is how he sucked the life and the fun out of me for six years, and I never want to go back to his crap. Yes, there were fun times, but I can make my own new fun times with new people. Completely ignore him. Find a good psychologist. My psych is male but also thinks he's a narcissist and is happy I'm out of that relationship, because he thinks it was toxic for me. Who wants to be unhappy and in the claws of a narcissistic ass?

I am echoing NinjaGirl. The

I am echoing NinjaGirl. The hardest part for me is getting it to stick that they just cannot change, they are mentally ill. He used to say "there should be a label on me" -- I used to think it was cute and funny, that he was just (to quote him "a handful") but it really is so awful that we did not know going in that they were ill and lying from the get go. Enjoy the summer - freako free summer! Peace. J

Peace. J

Thinking his illness was a joke

My ex-P KNEW he was a psychopath, and thought it was funny. He'd say "I'm a wild and crazy guy." And he accused me of "not taking life seriously." He told a story... and it was too weird to NOT be true... that his parents took him to Worcester State because his lack of emotions terrified them. Worcester State isn't a college;it's another type of institution. He was so afraid that I'd tell other people about it. It WAS a rare moment of vulnerability and honesty. He was an emotionless, humorless guy... yet he saw his mental illness as one big joke.
