[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2763322, member: 401801"] It's funny how narcissistic people always tell others that they are. They're the victim, blame everything on others and take no responsibility whatsoever for what (they perceive as) went wrong in their lives. Not saying he is one.... But he does sound an awful lot like my father, even down to the blame for suicidal thoughts, and [I]he[/I] was properly diagnosed as one. We can't diagnose diabetes on here, we can't diagnose mental illnesses on here, but I can tell you about the behavior he's displaying:[I] It's called gaslighting, and it is abusive.[/I] You might not see a way out, but someone else might. Get in touch with social services, see whether they can help get you out and set up elsewhere. This is not a healthy situation for you, nor anyone, really, so.... If you can start looking for help to get out, please, do. Because he's [I]not[/I] going to change, and your life should be better than this. HUG! Jo [/QUOTE]
