THIS.
I've developed a sick feeling in my stomach, not just from how horribly KB was treated, but because I know how it felt to be in a relationship with a narc like PF. It's eerie how similar my ex and PF treated people.
He is a user, he charms you, traps you in. Then he breaks you down - breaks down your confidence, your self-esteem. Then you feel so worthless that you think no one else could possibly love you, and you're thankful that the narc is with you. The narc gives you just enough affection to keep you close, but far and few in between. Then when he gets what he wants from you, he's done with you just like that.
I'm in no way defending KK at ALL. I just see how she got caught in his web.
To a point. Girl, you're married with kids. You're hundreds of miles away. No one is making you answer his texts, no one is making you drive to him... and being the victim of emotional abuse by a narc does not excuse you from being part of a murder! Instead of driving to CO, she should have driven herself to the closest police department!
There are so many times, KK could have 'stopped the murder' by going to the Police.
Now she is in Court.
I hope in your case, you have overcome your jerk.
They seem to be everywhere.
I saw a beautiful young women being interviewed on TV here in Australia (not sure where from!!).
She spoke about being happy, being single, and called it 'self partnering'.
Perhaps a new term for many happy single women, content in their lives.
This created a great deal of discussion on the 'talk show'.
I loved it.
Ladies, if you can quickly run away, once things go south.
But I guess, once you're involved, emotions come into play, and we hear of these horrid cases.
Here, PF is squirming, as his personality characteristics are being revealed.
Fantastic....keep going.
He is being fried, moment by moment.
Hope his blood pressure hits the roof, and in his cell, officers forget to check on his well being.
