Dear Reader
Today I am writing about how narcissists can destroy your life without you even realizing it. Crazy, or what? No. It happened to me. I spent ten years with a passive-aggressive narcissist who ruined my life. But not anymore. Read on to help you discover if you are being controlled by a narcissist and, if you are, how to escape from their clutches.

You begin to think that you don’t really need that stunning evening gown that you wore once to a ball with your ex-husband. Why on earth would you need it now? You don’t go to events like that anymore. You begin to wonder why you even bought it in the first place. Do you see what is happening? The narcissist makes you begin to question the validity of your past.
Back to the decluttering. You can completely see why you no longer need that beautiful gown and bag it up ready to go to the charity shop along with a pair of Lacoste golf trousers that you never wear because you don’t play golf anymore. Why would you? Your partner controls everything you do and they don’t play golf so obviously, neither do you. Now. You innocently drop them into the charity shop bag along with the gown. Good riddance. After all, this new relationship is everything that you ever wanted. Isn’t it?
