good that you can see some of the positive in this sitch. there's another board i frequent that is about dealing with primarily narcissists (mainly MIL's, but there are people with NM, NH, NSIL's, etc). it is extremely rough to have to deal with. my MIL was an N and a toxic person to be around. she caused me a lot of grief. my silver lining is that i don't have to deal with the hosebeast any more...
timbits,
Good perspective on the situation. I had to look up the word "hosebeast", lol.
