:D I have been with my husband since age 14, I am 45 now. I left him 6 times three of which I had a lease and my own home. I still came back, and have been back this time for 21 months and was ready to leave at 3 months.I just learned about this narcissism 7 months ago, and I am in counsel at the abuse womans center here in Florida.Both my sons 28,21 are effected by this, my youngest closes his self away, and has developed emotional problems. He likes people but feels he cant trust people, so he just avoids them. The handful of friends he has has been his friends sense grade school.My goal is to one day speak out for those victims and have groups of people that have suffered like myself. The way out is education and preventive. I have learned how to block out all of the hurt he sends my way each day. He caused me to lose my job after 14 years with the same doctors.They did not even know it was going on until I was gone. Black male,set up,he didn't do it directly he had someone else do his dirty work. I kept saying If I go up against him he will make me suffer . Now I can not pay for my car and may lose it.Thats all I have is my car and need that to find a job. I am so grateful for those people out there that put these bloggs on for us Thank you Maria
