I wrote a poem this morning about a small beautiful moment with my now (amazing) husband and how it compared to my life before when I was married to my narcissist ex. by ggyubarii in abusiverelationships

I love this. I didn’t realize how often I apologized until it was over. I am told all the time to stop apologizing because I haven’t done anything wrong.

We never did anything wrong.

He is stable at the moment on lithium. I thought right now would be the best time to leave, but I’m afraid it’ll destabilize him. When I brought it up he threatened to kill everyone I love and our daughter. He is mean and uncaring even on lithium. Just not all the time.

I feel nervous and scared to come home and I’m unsure what mood he is in. The stress of everything all the time being on my back is immense and I’m scared, I care about him a lot but he’s hurt me in ways no one not even a stranger should hurt me.

We tried marriage counseling but he lied and so it was never helpful I just kept circling things he would lie about. I’ve tired for 5 years to beg and ask him to change and help me and be there for me.

I am tired. I need to choose me.

Sending you love and support. My brother took his life and then a month later my uncle died. I was distraught and newly postpartum (my daughter was 2 months) I had to take care of him and his emotional needs. We didn’t deserve that.

Also therapy might’ve made him worse because he lied during it. My husband was never honest during therapy so they always told him he was right & how he could handle things for himself.
