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.

Why do people fear the truth?
In a world overflowing with information, the truth stands as a beacon, illuminating the paths we traverse. Yet, paradoxically, many of us find ourselves shying away from it. Why is that? Why does the very essence of truth evoke such trepidation?

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.

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...
