Survivors of toxic relationship with a Narcissist: Let's Connect

@gardenchef Interested in hearing more about such groups, especially if there can be a place here on Mayo Clinic Connect to find out more. (I've come across posts on this subject, but don't think or know if there is a discussion thread clearly dedicated to this topic alone.)
There had been a group on Yahoo in the last decade or so called ACON (Adult Children of Narcissists) - although they spelled it incorrectly intentionally ("Narcissits" I think it was), but when Yahoo changed their group policies - nothing to do with any specific group (I'm not up on how this all worked anyway) - the ACON group seemed to slowly disappear.
I prefer - by far - this Mayo Clinic Connect forum, as I've shared many times, because it is moderated by compassionate volunteers, respectful, helpful and insightful. Since I do not use social media, it is with deep appreciation that I come here, read and contribute in the interest of sharing experiences and knowledge.
So I hope we might find more from each other here.
Thank you for initiating this.

@brandysparks My former good friend here in the block was a special person to associate with at first. We would watch sermons by Dr. Charles Stanley on YouTube together. During the sermons, he would write down quotes from the Bible that were brought up. After the sermon we'd have our own private study based on the quotes and how they'd have a positive influence on our lives. It was so enlightening. I later discovered that this new friend was a narcissist. He thought he was always right and had a superiority complex. He also turned into a sexual predator, where he would go to homeless shelters and seek out vulnerable women, such as alcoholics and drug addicts... Promising them a 'good' time if he took them home to his place. He would get them drunk or high only to take advantage of them sexually for days. The devil had him by the tail! He turned into such an evil man. One day he confronted me and pulled a knife on me. I called police and pressed charges. I just had to.

I would like to join a group like that. How do we do it
