Best thing she ever did for my mental health

Was accusing me of being the narc. I had no idea what that was about, so I took a bunch of self assessments and the lightbulb went off.

Her projection opened my eyes that her covert narcissistic traits aren't normal behavior. Understanding DARVO, tone policing, the gaslighting, flagrant rejection of my boundaries, while guilt tripping me for standing up for myself.

"I don't even know who you are anymore" Funny, i really didn't know who i was for over a decade either.

I have a phone call with legal council on Tuesday. I know this will suck in the short term. But it's time to take the leap.
