That the person you thought you had dated/married, is not the real person at all, in fact there is no real person, they are like chameleons, very sad, but you cannot change them, change yourself. Very often codependents fall in love with a narcissist – they may have had a narcissistic parent, also, so the connection feels familiar. They are easily charmed by the attention of narcissists and attracted to their self-directedness and power, which most codependents don’t exhibit. In the beginning the they’re comfortable deferring to the narcissist for love, but when that soon disappears and they’re met with abuse, they absorb blame and criticism, and try even harder to please. These abusive relationships further undermine the codependents little self-esteem.

These are OUR points of progress we can come away with, though, that we can take the stuff in ourselves that the Narc pointed to and face it, own it, and heal it. And we need to heal our selves, our hearts. We do not have to be broken, but can have ourselves been broken open. So, my point is this, sometimes we just want an answer! A reason that is a name for what the heck has gone wrong, what is busted, what is sick…so we can fix it, heal it, or not “catch” it again. It is this last point that is most concerning to me. I’m not a psychologist, but her relationship with her husband seems to have all the hallmarks of one with a narcissist, which now seems increasingly abusive verbally/emotionally.
Emotional distress
Most borderlines have low self worth, and self esteem issues. I would like to touch on the the whole NPD/BPD debate really quick. Yes, they are different diagnoses, but from what I have researched, experienced and discusses with psychologists, they possess overlapping symptoms as well as distinguishable differences. Getting over someone with BPD is like going through withdrawal off a drug.
While it is important for us to recover from the abuse, we also need to start living, as best we can until we begin to feel happy rebuilding your life after addiction again. I am a much happier person owing to the mere fact that my sister is no longer in my life and never will be again.

I ate it up because it was just like in the movies, and the love bombing was like nothing I had ever experienced. Guys would be so much more interested in you if you lose some weight, changed your hair, wore sluttier clothes, wore better makeup” etc etc etc. I had been perfectly fine with my single life until he made me feel like there was something fundamentally wrong with me.
