Hi Vita,

Quote
Page 182:  We are confused by Narcissists because they have a 2 sided personality (Jekyll and Hyde).  The reason why Narcissists have a 2 sided personality is because they lack a true self (they only have a false self).

In my experience, the Narcissist took on my persona, stole my character, stole my values, myself. 

The Narcissist became me!  Whilst the narcissist secretly sabotaged me to the point of sinking into depths of sheer unbelief and despair.

To some it may seem an unbelievable, but it was and is true, and for some time, I found it difficult to fully comprehend.

Love,

Leah

Hi Leah,

Did you ever feel, when around your NS, as though you suddenly became their projection of there unwanted self?  This leading to confusion and distress. As if they take your virture, such as a good heart that wants to help others without any reward for self, then project onto you theirvice such as selfish motives and selfish desires and make you feel as though you are the selfish one?

(((((Ami and BR))))) You will get through this, and eventually, in stages, the NC will be so sweet, you will treasure it.

Vita, I want to join Leah, Bill, Lighter, Iphi, and Gabbenangel in welcoming you and thanking you for the informative post- it certainly helps!

Love,

Changing
