Optimism to spare

For so long I woke up every morning hopeful about the project of the day and glad to be who and where I was.

28 years with a gaslighting narcissist can really fuck you up! In her good days she was disappointed and demeaning. On most of the days she was disdainful and aloof.

Disappointed when we had sex. Disdainful and bitter when we didn't.

Unable to understand why I had any interests other than servicing her and receiving her criticisms

Many experts claim that narcissists hate themselves. I don't think that's explains anything about the violence of living with one. They align with the radical right in one key way—they don't care about their happiness or yours. They will harm anyone who appears to be moving ahead of them.

When they have pain they will ruin their own life until they are certain yours is worse.
