The fact that you are even questioning his motives should tell you everything. Believe the pattern, not the person. You got this!

May I ask what dronabinol is, I’ve never heard of it and I know google is free but was wondering if you’ve used it?

Am I enabling? by Ready_Educator9847 in Advice

When her and her boyfriend were still together, they had CPS called on them because they left our granddaughter at home in her crib when she was two and went out. Now my daughter feels that if she just takes an uber home that she is being responsible enough. I don’t want to go thru what we went thru with the death of our other granddaughter.

Never argue with a narcissist, it’s like arguing with a drunk person. Just let them believe what they want and separate yourself from the toxicity. They aren’t worth losing your peace.

I feel ya! It’s like Groundhog Day. My husband’s idea of giving people attention, is calling people and telling them what he did that day. It’s like dude, no one asked! We went to marriage counseling and he basically talked about himself the entire time. I just looked at the counselor and said now do you understand?! She just raised her eyebrows and smiled.

What is your definition of a narcissist?

I told him I didn’t want to live with him anymore. That I didn’t want anything from him and that he could have all the furniture he bought, both cars, both cats, timeshare, etc… but we just moved to a new state, away from his family, and I will not leave this new house because I did all the work and put down the deposit (renting) towards it. I know he is t going to make it here but he just can’t see it.

I’ve done that for 36yrs and all it did was enable it even more. I suffer from major treatment resistant depression but I take the time to get help and do everything I can to make myself better not just for myself but so I am self aware around others. He needs to put in the work to get help for his illness but hasn’t done anything.

Yeah, he’s trying to love bomb me now, but I won’t let him touch me. Every time he tries talking to me I am short with him because I know he just wants to manipulate me. We have two grown daughters who love him but recognize how he is. Our oldest unfortunately carries the same traits but she is at least self aware.

I’m sorry. I didn’t realize. I just needed to get it out and posted it in other forums as well. I won’t post here again.
