8. Dr. Ramani is AMAZING. Dealing with narcissists does take tremendous courage.

It is SO hard. But it is the only way to get the insanity out of our lives.

The cutting off contact is not the end, though. I needed to work on forgiving myself for all the wasted years and energy I spent trying to make a workable relationship with the narcissist. I think that is important to do.

I wish you peace and joy and love as you go forward with this.

This is pretty damn courageous. What was the first most courageous thing?
