Re: lived with a npd woman

Hi, I know very little about the illnesses you mention. I have a husband with serious mental problems though and I think I can understand a little of what you are going through. I'd just like to say I really admire your obvious devotion and understanding. I have had so many people over the (16) years i've been married advise me to leave my husband but when you know it's not the person's fault, they are ill you just can't can you? And anyway, you love them and know they need you, it is incredibly hard isn't it. My son is now nearly 21 and I always found the best way to help him cope with his dad's illness was to be very honest, it's the illness you hate, not the person, lots of chats and hugs, a sense of humour where possible, and making time for him away from the house, so the illness didn't take over completely. I really, really hope things get better for you, you must be an amazing guy. Sorry I have no really good advice except to get her to a naturopath/herbalist if at all possible. All the best x Tweet
