You can't put them on for her

You are absolutely correct. I know it too. I've known it for a long time. Every once in a while I get hit with those feelings, but they are fewer and farther between...

Strange thing happened today after my last couple of posts. Went to check my email and there was some random Quora email with a link about narcissist discard. I decided to read it and went down the rabbit hole of narcissistic personalities and realationships with them. And Dear Lord... did it ever hit home. I'm no psychologist by any means, but the similarities were astonishing. Made me realize that my W as I knew her will probably never be back, and it would be most beneficial to me and my kids to cut ties and move along. And it sure as heck will make it a lot easier to avoid getting stuck in the frame of thinking that she can be helped by anything I do. Looking back at my sitch, it's just too creepy and uncanny how close she fits the description of NPD...
