Re: How Do I get Away from an NPD
OMG! You have a child yet you still persist in being with this man? I'm sorry if this will sound harsh but here's a shout out to you--- YOUR CHILD'S WELL BEING IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. YOUR CHILD COMES FIRST!
You need to step back and really think about this, mainly what kind of example are you setting for your child by having this man in and out of your life? As a parent, you owe it to your child to provide a stable environment. Having this man in and out of your life is not providing a stable environment.
Is your child a girl? If so, please think about the bad example you're setting by allowing this man into your life!
If you really can't break away, then please, please, please visit the Codependents Anonymous site --- sooner rather than later!
Edited to add this --- Until you get some help (in the form of counseling or by attending Codependents Anonymous meetings), you really need to put dating on hold---especially since you have a child still at home.
Good luck and get going!
