Title: Husband is a narcissist
Post by: LiveloveLaugh2 on March 19, 2017, 11:29:11 AM
My husband is a narcissist who is controlling. I constantly walk on eggshells and still get put down and blamed for everything and anything. I try so hard to build him up, encourage him and be positive but it doesn't work. On top of that I have a special needs child so I am afraid to get divorced. I don't know what to do

*welcome*

I'm sorry for what you are going through, but am glad that you found us. We are here to support one another and you'll find a lot of useful information on this site.

Can you tell us more about what happened recently that brought you here? Why do you say that he's a narcissist?

Based on what you have written, the lesson on Tools: communication validation, and reinforcement of good behavior (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=287068.msg12704924#msg12704924) may prove beneficial to you. There are other basic tools in the sidebar to the right that might help.

Keep writing. Tell us your story - it helps you to get it out and it helps others when they see that they are not the only ones suffering.

Hi LiveloveLaugh2,

*welcome*

I'd like to join Meili and welcome you to the family. I'm sorry to hear that. I can see how stressful it would be for you if you're not appreciated and your H left. Meili gave you some pretty good resources, I like your username "Live Love Laugh" maybe we can get you to do and feel those things again. Can you tell us what doesn't work?
