[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 431601"] Well...truth be told...I'm reading up on it both for professional reasons and because this family member has come up in my life again to a certain extent. I am limiting involvement + setting up boundaries. He is basically a narcissist. BUT....seems extreme. The woman he has been dating for 10+ years and I talked. She said that they got into a fight once and he tried to strangle her. Also told me that he can be profoundly selfish. In the same breath she said, "but he is such a nice guy...I love him." Wow.....I do think these guys make sure to associate themselves with kind souls who are big time ENABLERS. It is so sad. Just my opinion, but if and when these folks wake up...I bet it is a shocking and sad day. And it can get mighty ugly along the way. Now, I'm reading a book about narcissism. (No surprise there!). Crazy...that book looks GOOD! I do feel sorry for families who have endured this type of family member. It is a confusing, heartbreaking and difficult thing. Star...I hear ya! It was very good to be rid of that person in my life....for the most part (almost ALWAYSSSSS) I DO believe that is THE BEST TACTIC!!! Amen! :) [/QUOTE]
