[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key is to go no contact. If there are kids involved, very low contact. Do not argue. Do not react to anything he says. Be flat. Look up gray rock. Narcissists don't care if you're loving or hateful, they love a reaction whether it's negative or positive. What you leave, don't offer up any information about your life. Keep communication as brief as possible.

None of this is easy, but you can do it. [/quote]

+1000 Came here to post this. 
The less engagement, the better. Set clear rules for yourself:
-Communicate in writing so that you have a trail
-Always wait at least 24 hours to respond to texts, emails. 
-Let calls always go to voice Mail. Listen and decide when you will respond by text. Again, wait 24 hours. 
-If a response can be said in 5’words, see if you can get it down to 3. Less is best.

This is SO hard when you’re all living together in the same house.  But I have to do this. It’s sad, but there’s no dinner conversations I’d we’re all together or chats when hiking (he insists on maintaining his external image) and the kids see him getting off the hook for all sorts of things (late, forgot, broke something, didn’t do something he said he would) in order to avoid his anger explosions.
