@gardenchef - Hello. Greatly appreciate your posts here, adding resources to what is a most challenging journey - and, for me, one of - if not THE - most difficult aspects is that it is invisible to all - often, unfortunately, even those living in the same environment with us and the narcissist/s.

May I ask if you could share what your choices are in this 45-year relationship with a narcissist? I know it could be a family member, (and we can't change who we're related to, of course!), but are there options you have to move on from this relationship and/or environment?

Look forward to learning more from you. Thank you, and sending warm wishes for whatever you envision brings you peace and comfort.
