The Blessing of Being Blocked

Hi everyone, I still check in from time to time and this forum has helped me stay sane over the last 2 years of my Narc recovery. I was seriously injured over the summer and almost died, and of course the exN tried to contact and let me know that he was there for me as a "friend"...HA!!! He wanted to bring me a "gift" and I agreed in a weak moment. Then he never showed up when he said he would, so I texted him to just forget about it and that I didn't need to wait around for him to not come through once again, that I had plenty of friends who were there for me....he flipped out and replied that if I didn't want a friend that I didn't have one anymore and that he was only trying to be nice...and that he was officially blocking me...only to text me 2 days later to say that he wished I hadn't been such an a** to him and that he was only trying to be nice...I of course did not respond and have maintained NC since...here is my question: I have learned so much about Narcs and this one doesn't seem to fit the bill...him blocking me that is...I am happy for this blessing, but always understood Narcs like to keep the door open and we are always blocking them, not the reverse..just wondering if anyone else has been blocked by their Narc...I hate that it wasn't me first and that he got his final jab in
