ISH,

Yours was one of the very first threads I read when I found this site in late February... I read and read and read sitch after sitch well before I registered.

One thing that has always impressed me about you is your unwavering loyalty to your husband and marriage, despite his painful actions/words. Dealing with a narcissist is no small feat. Most narcissists seem to cut all ties and make the final decision without giving any concern to the partner he or she is hurting. I do believe he is very confused but that he does still care for you.

I'm glad you enjoyed your camping trip. I share the same sentiments about animals. As long as I have my animal friends, I'll never feel unloved, harshly judged or completely alone.
