I've posted often under this and a different username about my heartbreak after finding out my STBXH cheated on me. The pain of the infidelity soon became secondary as I discovered he was a Narc. For 6 months it's felt like I have been on an emotional rollercoaster and I've felt I've been living on the edge of my sanity.
I don't want to give out identifying details but today I had to meet with him. The reasons don't matter to the post. I was shaking, it was too short notice to arrange for someone to accompany me. So I pulled up my big girl pants and went on my own.
I got through it. I came home and cried my heart out. I sat on my sofa and as I cried I realised that I was warm - the sun in my new flat was shining on me through the windows. It's spring, winter is over. And then I realised that was true for me as it is for nature - my winter is over and my spring is here. I feel at peace for the first time in 6 months.

Its called metamorphosis darling, When the caterpillar turns into a butterfly and it's the best feeling ever. To discover you are psychologically and physically free. Better than falling in love with someone, because you actually fall in love with yourself.

Enjoy the day and every day.

Well done!! It's an amazing feeling to realise you are free. Narcs are hollow shells of beings and I pity mine a few years on.

Hold on to that feeling of freedom. I still feel happy every day a few years on xxx

Thank you for your messages Flowers.

Lou I remember you posting on my threads at the time, am glad to hear you are moving on too.

I slept like a baby and have only just woken up. Can't believe the time! Usual sleep patterns for the last few months have meant fitful sleep and up at the crack of dawn.
