This is an awesome book you should read. I personally think everyone should read it, because it covers every day life skills relating to personal safety.

Yah, NC is the only way to go.

And I think you are close with the analogy to addiction. This book has been of great help to me, and it discussed how the neurological effects of a breakup are similar to drug withdrawal.

Read “Attached. The New Science of Adult Attachment.” It addresses exactly what you experience. Practically in your exact words. I’m listening to the audiobook right now.

I'm not Chinese, but that does match stories I've heard about the way Chinese people raise their kids unfortunately. But whether or not they should raise their children this way is something that even the Chinese are beginning to doubt.

I think a good way to subtly argue this point with your friend is to buy her a copy of the book Battle Hymn of The Tiger Mother by Amy Chua. The author describes how she tried to raise her own daughters in the typical Chinese manner and the resulting heartaches the led her to change her mind.

I did a 1 year university course, and all the essay writing & going to class just caused the depression to lift quite a bit. It could be neuroplasticity,

Exercise, mindfulness training, positive psychology, behavioural therapy works. This book helped. You need to recognise the behaviour patterns.

Honestly any personality disorder is a road to disaster. They are very hard to treat.

I wouldn’t think about whether he will or he won’t come back - this will eat you up and disturb your healing process.

The reason he’s done those things is because he’s not normal - it’s all a game (sadly).

I’m only speaking from my own experience, so I could possibly be wrong (but I don’t think I am - not to sound arrogant lol).

I read this amazing book, check it out, it really helped me:

Should I Stay or Should I Go: Surviving A Relationship with a Narcissist https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/168261333X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uTc0CbV111MH2

I think you should buy one of THESE, have it engraved with her name on it, and send it to her.

It can be really confusing when it appears that they are very distraught over losing you and you begin to wonder if they loved you and you are making a mistake. Ha. No. This is a performance. She really thought she could do anything to you and just cruise along with her disgusting trashy family, make things up and lie, and nothing would happen. Consequences. They are a biatch. Dont feel sorry or get taken in. She is the same person. Unless body snatching aliens landed on Earth, took over her body, and did all this for a science experiment, Imma gonna say full steam ahead on the divorce/annulment or hey both if your feeling lucky!

I've read this book a few times and it's helped - POWER: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse: A Collection of Essays on Malignant Narcissism and Recovery from Emotional Abuse https://www.amazon.com/dp/1945796324/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mANBDbV7P50GS

I'm also going to try EMDR myself bc I find that I still carry a lot of trauma in my body and mind, even after 2 years.

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook: Practical DBT Exercises for Learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation & ... (A New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1572245131/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nUmkDbSDHCFXF

Let me know if that works. I was scared at first because DBT has a connection to cluster B people and I was trying to get away from one! Ack!

But I ultimately learned how to distract myself and calm myself down I was goi g stir crazy obsessing over that horrible man.

This is all so textbook narc and so exactly like what my Nex did to me! For gods sake it took me more than twenty years to get away for good so please please please stay away. He will continue to hurt you and it will get worse. They get even more evil as they get near 40.
> He goes back and forth between angry and sad. It’s so clear to me now that the sad is fake and an act. The anger is his normal self and anything else is manipulation.

This is such a good observation, don't forget it! They have 2 emotions: anger and shame. That is all. Everything else is a lie, an act, pure bullshit.


> He has said he can’t live without me and eluded to taking his own life.

More textbook narc behavior, threatening to kill himself if you won't take him back. Even threatening to hurt you, trying to scare you. Please be aware that this is what the really scary men you hear about on the news do to their exes. Read The Gift of Fear!
Psycho men who kill exes are the ones who say stuff like that.

> Then he admitted to physically abusing me (saving that message!!) and that he didn’t blame me for not wanting him in my life.

Save it, and anything else (screenshots of texts, emails, etc.) Make a new dropbox account and save it all there where he won't know about it.

> He blamed physically abusing me on alcohol and started pleading for another chance.

Save that one too.
If I were you I would file a police report and get a Restraining Order. If you have any proof that he raped you or physically assaulted you there are probably statutes of limitation on those.
