My H refuses to see that the past affects the present. This new assertive self he has unleashed is not something that I suppressed throughout our R. This is a part of him that was stiffled by MIL in childhood.
Even if you talk to MIL, someone w/NPD will NEVER admit things. They say NPD is one of the hardest disorders to work w/bc the person just won't acknowledge what they do. They are so trapped in this fake persona they have created.
I could type for days on the manipulation I have witnessed of my MIL and still not even scratch the surface.
Me 36, Him 33 M 11yrs, T 15yrs S 8, D 7 ILYBINILWY - 1/09 H moves out 10/09 D to be final SOON I HOPE!
