About Me

I am a woman in transition. I left a twenty-eight year marriage to a narcissistic man which I did not recognize for so long because he fit in so well with my family. He actually had to beat me before I understood and left. I have an BAHons. degree in psychology and have worked and volunteered in a woman\'s shelter, no the irony does not escape me : ). I am the child of two narcissistic parents with my mother being the more extreme but, my father\'s overt physical abuse clouded the more insidious abuse by our mother. Today I am feeling empowered with information, and the freedom to make informed choices for my future. Ilyana Vanzant says \"when you see crazy walking down the street, do not invite him/her in for dinner, so that you can fix him. Avert your eyes, and run like hell\". I am hoping to find support from all of you to help me identify the \'crazy\' before I let him in.
