Well...My Ex's NPD Diagnosis Must Be True

Today I am thankful that my ex's behavior confirms his NPD diagnosis.

My stalkerish ex was diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder in 2012.

Personally, I have had a very hard time believing it.  I even met with a psychiatrist buddy to discuss how stress (e.g. PTSD) can bring about narcissistic symptoms in people.

Of course, my ex-husband stalked this shrink and I at the coffee shop.

Even then, I had a very hard time believing it.

I have often wondered what stress could have caused him to turn into a domestic abuser.

He didn't start yelling until after our wedding in 1996.  That was when his family amped up their stalking and, in a couple of cases, physical violence.

It was 1997 when they started impacting my jobs and schooling with their harassment.

Deep down inside, I wanted to believe that his family was acting on their own without influence from my ex.

Turns out - he was behind everything.  He'd lie to them and blame me for him not acting at his mother's beck and call.

His family would harass me in public as a means of punishment.  Sadly, it was my ex who told them where and how to find me.

I still never wanted to believe he was NPD.

Over the weekend, he had a very long diatribe with our youngest daughter.

He told her that our family cat was useless and should be killed.

He went on to explain that if an animal or person is useless, it ought to be put to death.

Sigh....

For the record, we rescued the cat.  The cat in turn ran off the mice my ex-husband brought into my house.

Whether or not she did that, she always will have a home with us.

Narcissists only value that which they can use.

It kind of explains the violence and death threats.

I must have become useless.

Yes, my children are in therapy.

Still, it is always heartbreaking when they see the hidden truth in people.  It's always bound to happen.  It's still sad nonetheless.

Our youngest daughter has told me that her father has bullied her and her siblings in the past.  He never does this within earshot of me.

I have NEVER heard of a story in which he wishes a beloved family pet to be killed.

This is incredibly disappointing and sad.

I wish he understood the damage he caused to their relationship.

Damn it.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Time and Trauma

  Today I am thankful for stories; they are often the easiest teaching tool.  The other day I had an interesting conversation with a social worker.  She complained that one of her patients was stuck at a certain year -  let's say... 2008.  This man talks about 2008 constantly.  He shares photos of 2008 and letters of 2008.  I asked her, what happened that year?  Well, three members of his family died.  His best friend died in front of his eyes.  His spouse died.  He lost his home.   The man was wealthy.   Sadly, the evil eye is real.  Covetousness is real.  The U.S. justice system enables abusive lawyers to swoop in and take control of the wealth of well-to-do elders.  There were fights over his assets**.   The lawyers threw him out of his numerous homes.  The man was then homeless while everything went through probate and the relatives fought over the estate.   His wealth ...

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...
