[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 314617, member: 7083"] I'm about 99.9% sure my ex has NPD - at the very least, strong characteristics. They will scream over you because they don't have any interest in what you're saying because they are the only one that is right. I unplugged all of my phones many times after he'd call - long distance and before digital phone - 30 or more times in a row. (We were long divorced.) Not talking to him? Ticked him off more than anything else. Cause then he couldn't tell me how right he was. The 100+ text messages sounds about right. Now that easy child is 18, I refuse to have anything to do with him. I actually stopped communication a few months before easy child turned 18. Ex is planning on coming up to visit easy child next month. I've already told easy child that Ex is not allowed in my house. If he has to pee, there's a Speedway and a McDonald's around the corner. In my experience, the only way to deal with people with this disorder is to have your own boundaries. Don't expect them to follow them because they won't. But have them set out in your mind and how you'll act when those lines are crossed. For example, not allowing text messaging on your phone (doesn't sound like you use it much anyway so you could have that feature turned off maybe). Being prepared to get up and walk away from dinner at a restaurant, etc. [/QUOTE]
