Fragile Narcissists Are More Dangerous Than The Grandiose.
"A narcissist's criticism is their autobiography" - M. Wakefield. Grandiose or Vulnerable? You can easily identify a grandiose narcissist (GN) after a while, but a fragile/vulnerable narcissist (VN) goes the extra mile to disguise the false-self because their self-worth is so diminished that even the slightest risk of exposure sets them on a tailspin.

Truly Criminal Relaxtion. Content Warning.
For a moment I can’t tell if the connection is poor or if my therapist is concentrating on keeping a “neutral” face. Even I know that a neutral face in response to a personal interest you share with your therapist is not a good sign. My words are slowing down and I get quiet. “ I’m listening, go on” my therapist fishes for the rest of the concerning details. “You’re gonna tell me that I have to stop huh?” I wait on the other end of the video call bracing myself for impact. “I will say that this could be contributing to your night terrors and to rule it out… you should probably take a break.” Now logically I know she’s right but I can’t be the only one who loves to grab a snack, some wine, and deep dive into true crime. I know that I’m not.

The Path to Recovery
Today, I cried. I wasn't planning on crying in my therapy session but isn't that how it always happens? It's never expected when you break down but suddenly you can't breathe, your anxiety is at max capacity and you feel like the last two years didn't even happen for a few minutes. This years resolution? To get mine and my daughter's last name changed. We will right this wrong. I plan to ask for one last thing from my abuser, I want him to sign his rights away to my daughter. We haven't seen him in over a year, my daughter wants nothing to do with him and we both want this fixed. There was a time where I thought him adopting her was going to be so wonderful and he would be an amazing father to her but now I realize the truth. The adoption was always a mistake and I shouldn't have let it happen. However, we can't judge ourselves for things we didn't know at the time right? We can't judge ourselves for not knowing there was a monster lying under the surface. I can say there were a million red flags and I should've known but does that help anything now? No, I suppose not. It is what it is and this is a wrong I will right. My daughter will have her birth last name back and so will I. My daughter and son will have the same last name again and I will go back to my maiden name. However, the thought of having to see my abuser again has my nerves shot. The tears stream as I remember the fear. Those last few days I was truly afraid for mine and my children's lives. Every chance he got I was berated, verbally assaulted, ridiculed, called names and told he wished I were dead. It was never ending. My children were spoiled rotten brats and I had made them that way. The horrible things that were spat at me those last few weeks I'll never forget. It comes in flashes as I try to calm down...
