"He's a Narcisssist"

Recently a number of abused women have told me that their abusive partner is a narcissist.  One or two have asked what I thought about that. 

First let me declare an interest: a long time ago now (happily) it struck me that my abusive husband might be a Narcissist.  Being even more of a technological dinosaur at that time than I am now, I duly scampered off to a bookshop and bought a book about Narcissists.   

I spent quite a lot of time poring over ever word: some seemed to confirm the hypothesis, some contradicted it.  Was he? Wasn’t he?   

It was quite confusing really.  If he was a Narcissist, then I emerged without blame, standing proudly on the moral high ground, the heroic dame who had tried to transform an abusive relationship and love a Narcissist into mental health.  If he was not, then the picture became murky, and I probably deserved some of the blame he was always quick to heap on me. 

So, with the clarity of hindsight, was my husband a Narcissist?   CLICK HERE to carry on reading.
