[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 642523, member: 4152"] Yes, again more validation...why I wish to address this via an article, even perhaps something more. I got an advanced degree in a field related to mental health. Immediately afterward, my father got sick and I was working for (are you ready for this) a narcissist! Long story there. I find that the men are very often misogynists and this guy was definitely one. So, life was horrible. My dad was in the hospital two hours north of this job and the job was almost an hour south of my home. His girlfriend from hell was causing scenes at the hospital. This was confusing me and caused me to take frequent trips to the facility. I didn't know why at the time. She was his health care surrogate. He was grotesquely ill and she had him as DNR...do not resuscitate. He looked dead for a good ten days before he was actually deceased. Several nurses told me that this was wrong and when doctors did the same, she would fire them. I thought she was grieving. WRONG. She had a will drawn up leaving everything to her the days before he died. He fell into a coma the date of the will. ...which ended up being one day before he expired. Only after he was in a coma and on,life support did she agree to remove some of the life support systems. He died immediately. I ENDED UP HAVING tO pAY for that attorney's bill. He never signed the will and it wouldn't have been valid anyway. But this attorney's bill became part of the estate and I had to pay it along with his medical bills. My father left a LOT of money to his cousin and his girlfriend cleaned out his apartment of all valuables, I think when he fell into the coma. After my father died, I found out my daughter in law was pregnant...another long story. My job stress was getting worse and worse. If I was five minutes late for a meeting, I would get screamed at relentlessly. Male co workers could be thirty minutes late and he wouldn't say a word. I started to feel sick. My dentist made a horrible mistake and left me with severe nerve damage. I ended up having several autoimmune diseases diagnosed and nerve pain. I can't work a normal job. There are days that I remain in bed...like today. So....one way I might be able to help people is use this degree and my personal experiences to write about narcissism. (I also have a degree in Mass Communications). I feel very strongly that these individuals leave a very potent, pervasive mark on their children and families. We see here in this thread the devastation. And like everyone else here, just talking about provides some relief. Thank you for listening as well....that post a little earlier took a lot of weight off my shoulders. And Cedar, you are totally right, I felt very much alone, frightened and ashamed in that horror. I'm very grateful to all of you for listening. [/QUOTE]
