Life after a Narcissist
Relationship Stress / by warmheartedPear5519

...See more I spent almost 20 years with the narcissist about 18 months ago. I was diagnosed with cancer and while going through radiation chemotherapy is true colors came out. He would take me to the doctors appointment to make himself look good, but while I was going through chemo treatments, he would leave and disappear for 5 to 6 hours at a time we’re either a nurse or social worker had to stay with me When I came home after getting chemo treatment he would leave for days on end and not speak to me I saw my son only four times for his whole entire summer vacation because his dad just kept dropping them off elsewhere so I couldn’t see him and I understand that my son is probably under some stress with his mom having Cancer, but to rip them away from me like he did was just a punishment and that’s exactly what he did here we are year later and I am in remission. I’ve got a new job a new vehicle. I’ve been working really hard to build a life for me and my son and now his dad told me he doesn’t wanna see me anymore and I just think of his mental health and just leave him alone because I am causing him damage Now my son is 15 and I know he last thing he wants to do is spend time with his mom, but I am totally devastated by this. My heart hurts so bad and I can’t stop crying because I thought so hard to survive to be his mom and rebuild this life and I’ve worked so hard to get where I’ve been in the last year and now his dad is withholding him from me And it’s either he’s telling My son, he can’t come to visit or he’s blackmailing him by telling him he can’t go visit his friends or something of that sort so tonight I’m having a really hard time. I can’t sleep. I can’t stop crying. I just don’t know where to go from here.
