It’s not about us. Their issues demons are not a reflection on us. Notice all their relationships suffer or are estranged? We just happen to care and can’t imagine treating another person so badly, especially someone we love. So we hang in there. It’s time for self- preservation! It’s not selfish to put self first now and begin the healing.

I just left exactly 24 hours ago. It’s an illness and I feel guilty for turning my back on anyone in need. This narcissist needs help that I am not equipped to give. Time for self healing.
