Situationship with a narcissist

[Theorphicsoul]

Hey everyone!
I'm new here. I just recovered from a year long "situationship" with a guy who had severely narcissistic traits. It was my first love. I was exploited emotionally, physically and financially. I managed to go no contact now. Since October 1. But I am still struggling with the repercussions and running to online tools for help from narcissistic abuse.

Hello, I'm new here as well and trying to figure out how this forum works. I thought I posted earlier but my post doesn't show.

Well done on going no contact. If you don't know about Grey Rocking , then it might be something to learn so you can apply it to all the other narcs out there.

I grew up with narcissistic parents, then got into another abusive relationship with my first husband. The abuse from my Dad is ongoing and as he's 82 it's harder to be no contact without feeling guilt. I nearly died this year a few times and have some serious health problems which have made me want to redefine things with my Dad. I'm happily married to a nice, normal guy and we just celebrated 20 years together.
