Oy, the dance of the narcissist co-parent. Guys, really.

I'm tired of being yelled at, at being told I manipulate everything, being told I'm a "Monster", being told that I'm doing all I can to take our daughter away from him. The lies are exhausting. The spewing is overwhelming. The projection is nonstop.

I know what's behind it. He's afraid. I can hear it in his voice and the way he fights. He's afraid. I can absolutely empathize. This is terrifying, without question. But does that mean you lash out and verbally stab over and over and over? Does that mean you accuse the me of absolute falsities?

I can't sleep. I haven't eaten in two days. My heart pounds at the very thought of all of this and the damage this could do to my daughter. How do I protect her? How do I stay strong?

How do I get off the narcissistic roller coaster?
