Sufferer Isolated

[SufferingLotus]

Heard about this forum in Pete Walker’s book. Hoping to meet people like me, not to feel so alone and feel like I’m a part of a community (I’m isolated.) Currently in a 19 year abusive marriage with a covert narcissist who I’m dependent on which complicates things. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome to the community. Ouch on the dependent marriage. Are you working on getting your own thing going for future self-support?

I am currently doing Kim Saeed’s Break Free Bootcamp. I’ve learned a lot about covert narcissists. I developed CFS, fibromyalgia, gut issues, etc. when I started dating my husband and had to stop working soon after. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome!
Sorry to say, I'm in exactly the same spot. I have not worked in many years and now I have to figure out, in my friendless, isolated state, how to find a job. In an economy that is floundering. I feel like just that one action - finding a job - would be a huge step toward reclaiming my own life. There is literally no one in my life now but my husband. I have had such poor results from seeking therapy as none of them seem to understand what covert narcissism entails, how exhausting it is to deal with and how it destroys your confidence on a daily basis,
