[quote=Anonymous]It's so hard, OP. I divorced someone very similar. Therapy was key in untangling all the complicated emotions I was feeling. Many years after my divorce, I became a therapist myself and I work with a lot of women in similar situations. Work with your therapist to identify what qualities a trusted person would have (vs. the behavior you endured from the narcissists in your life) so that you don't inadvertently recreate old patterns. Then slowly identify people you know (friends, other family members) who behave in the ways you identified. You don't need a massive social circle, just a couple of trusted friends. Once you feel confident with those people, you can start expanding your circle. A support group for women going through a divorce could be a good thing for you as well. There are lots online.[/quote]
