Understanding that we are stronger [mentally and emotionally] than the narcissist is important to always remember. I have worked hard to be proud of who I am, what I accomplish, on a daily basis. Not always giving in to the negative emotions that can be triggered, but acknowledging them. It can be a battle everyday, but I need to remind myself in the long haul it is worth it.

@colleenyoung Thank you for making the distinction between a diagnosable personality disorder such as narcissistic personality disorder vs. a person who shows narcissistic abuse.

We all have personality traits such as introversion or assertiveness. Those traits do not translate into an actual disorder.

I learned about the above by reading and listening to experts. Please continue to share with books or articles that you've read. I like TED Talks too. I'm careful, though, about the source I want to make sure that the information is valid and reliable. You'll know that when you read about the speaker (in the description) or the author (on the back or inner leaf of the book).

Knowing that I am his source of supply that fuels his behavior. Setting strong boundaries for myself and being fully conscious and aware when he crosses them. I have a list of 35 boundaries for narcissists that I am trying to attach. Can’t seem to do it.
