36. I've been studying narcissism a lot

I didn't even know what it was until a couple of years ago. The experts tell us regular people that we're not supposed to diagnose, but I don't think anyone can argue against the conclusion that trump is a narcissist. My ex-husband is also a textbook example. I'm just so relieved to have him out of my life.

I can't even imagine the difficulty of growing up with a narcissistic parent, but I have to say, you sound amazingly strong now. I think the best thing that any of us can do for ourselves is to decide that we're no longer going to be their victim.
