@RickiTarr Glad to hear that they are no longer together. From what you wrote he was not just a narcissist but an abuser. Abusive partners break down their partners emotionally and mentally in order to control them. Sometimes it can end in rape or even murder.
If you want to depress yourself look for youtube videos by Lundy Bancroft a psychiatrist who works with abusive men trying to understand and help them.
#DomesticAbuse #MentalAbuse
I've just had a work meeting where I chose to have one of the hardest conversations of my life. I disclosed being a #DomesticAbuse survivor. Survivor's guilt. The impossible-to-displace belief that it was my fault, that I enabled it. Irrational, illogical, clearly untrue, but this is what a controlling & coercive abuser does. They gaslight and erode you until they've destroyed you. He's long dead but is still controlling me now. I'll never heal from this. I'm mentally damaged for life.
I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.
I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.
That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.
In case it was missed in the post above, this is my updated article:

My doctor predicts I will die if I don’t leave soon.
I need a solid, safe, home I can go to and recover to at least a stable baseline. It’s not full recovery, but it’s better than a slow death.
Help please

On the day Noella took action against her abusive partner, she knew where to go: the bank.
She walked into an HSBC U.K.
branch, asked for a Safe Space, and found support there while making plans for her and her children’s safety.

#DomesticAbuse traps victims in cycles of fear—often because leaving means financial ruin.
#UniversalBasicIncome (#UBI) changes that, giving victims agency without bureaucratic hurdles.
No approvals, no means-testing—just freedom to leave NOW.
No more choosing between abuse and homelessness. UBI covers a bus ticket, a security deposit, food while rebuilding.
It won’t solve everything, but it’s a lifeline when every second counts.

"In 2019, Refuge reported that 72% of women accessing its services said they had been subjected to “technology-facilitated abuse”, and warned that the growing use of camera doorbells and smart speakers can provide perpetrators with more tools to harm victims. They’re an effective method of coercive control, for monitoring, spying and withholding power."

Revise Legal Frameworks to Address Tech-Abuse and Stalking in Domestic Violence Cases
"As victim of tech-abuse and post-separation stalking, I have lived the reality of our legislatively flawed legal system firsthand. Despite thorough reporting to the police, my perpetrator remains at large due to current legislation: a three-month repetition clause within reporting limitations."
"An average of 140 women and girls were killed each day in 2023 by their intimate partner or a close relative, a United Nations report on gender violence has found.
About 60 percent of 85,000 women and girls killed across the world in 2023 were at the hands of an intimate partner or a family member…."
