It has taken me a long time to finally move house after a spectacular and nasty divorce from my narc ex. But I feel positive! Light at the end of the tunnel!
What I have noticed is that now, of all times, he seems to be invading my space again, lots of nasty digs, trying to curry favour with children, basically provocative behaviour to I think make me lose it.
I haven’t spoken to him for six years (except by email), and he’s coupled up now, apparently happily. I have never met her.
My question is, to all those who finally escaped narcs, did you find they cycled back when you were about to leave the family home, and how on earth do you deal with their patronising and craven attempts to provoke you?
Any tips appreciated!
