I'm trying to keep it together...

I'm having a moment of crazy. I've been doing really well but today it's so much work to keep my head and heart out of Narcville.

Several people have told ms that they saw him with the OW. I've said to them: yes, I know they are together. It's better for me they are together because he stays away.

I actually told him to please be with this woman. Please. Go away, I said and be happy. Leave me alone.

He's a terrible person. He's a grifter. He is abusive to me and the children. He is dishonest in business and with money. He loves triangulation; has one or two going all the time. He loves drama and living on the edge of the law.

I don't like him. I don't want to be with him or around him. I don't want to be his friend.

And then why does it hurt to know he's out having a good time spending money on his new girlfriend while I have no money and all the children?! Am I jealous? He's disgusting.

He keeps dropping by. I told him, "Stop dropping by. Make a schedule and stick to it. He children need consistency. They have a bedtime. They need to know what is happening in their life." he drops by and expects everyone to drop everything and give him an audience. He does nothing for the kids and nothing with them but wants to use them for show to show people what a great dad he is.

He then texts at 9 pm asking to come over and read them books. I tell him that they are in bed and repeat everything that I just said. He then asks if I'm hungry and want something, he's getting something to eat.

No, I text back. Then he says he can take them all to school in the morning. The therapist said to give him that if he wants it. So I say ok.

Then he texts: I am gay. My teenage daugter sees my phone beep on the table (iPhone) and reads it. I say: he's so funny! Haha! Then I text: I figured.

Why he said that I don't know. What's the manipulation? Is he trying for triangulation with me again, hoping I beleive he's gay and not really 'with' this woman. Is he just joking? Trying to get me to laugh? He's done that before.

Anyway, I'm worn down. I'm tired of this life.

He just texted again saying: he wants peace with me, he'll go and do anything because we need help to create peace between us. He said he knows that we love each other.

And who is he now?

I'm confused and lost and feeling hopeless. I need to snap out of it.

Thanks for listening.

Lilly, stay strong, and if at

Lilly, stay strong, and if at this point you can't do it for yourself yet, do it for your children!! While they may not understand now, they will one day. Sam Vaknin has a video on this. I have exposed mine to a N-step"father" for more than 20 years . . . And that still makes me sick to my stomach. They are in their 30s now, and as soon as the divorce is over, they will file to have the adoption anulled. I nearly lost them emotionally, and it is only now that we could grow close again. I am forgiven. And that is what I am most grateful for. Hang in there - we are here for you!

Stop being so hard on yourself!!

To have children with an n, must be horrible. My exn, soon to be husband, is three thousand miles away from me and that is too close. Keep doing what you are doing. Set boundaries, you doing it. Post on here. We care about you and your recovery. Love Jen
