Hello, everyone. I am currently involved with a narcissist (on and off for more than 3 years) and am trying to get out but so far I haven't really been able to find the strength to leave. I've also been touring the Internet tonight and learning quite a bit about what is commonly called "narcissist brainwashing", which I found interesting because just earlier today I was thinking about how there is an ongoing war in my head between my common sense and his programming.

In any case, I wondered if any of you had any links to any good resources about trying to do what I need to do to get away from him. It's not easy because I promised him I would always stand by him no matter what, but I'm starting to realize that if he can break HIS promises to me all the time, it's just silly for me to be so hell-bent on keeping mine to him.

Any information you all may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
