YOu dodged bullet mate - there is no fixing that kind of person. Despite what you think you have probably, in the longer term, made life easier for everyone. This has nothing to do with your being man enough to take abuse for the rest of your life - it has everything to do with the fact that a narcissist can't be fixed and will completely fuck everything around them in order to control their environment. They are pathologically insecure and very often extremely cruel.

She sounds so unstable you are, no doubt, physically safer but you need to remain emotionally safe from that type of person.

Hope your kids are going to be ok and you hang in there.

Not sure what her being a therapist has to do with any of this? Was she drunk texting her patients? Did she try to have you involuntarily committed? Not sure why it’s relevant, this post could just have easily been “TIFU by talking to a web developer/electrician/tattoo artist/RN/whatever” lol.

Folks seem to think if you are a therapist you must have your shit together, but often times it's more they are still working on themselves too. Obviously some have it together more than others, but at the end of the day they are more like the rest of us than we realize. Been to enough throughout my life to figure that out.

The parent company, Proctor & Gambol, invests heavily in polymer science research, because that’s how we get the weird interior that absorbs.

If I had any chance of doing this sort of research for a career I would have hopped on it. But alas my dyslexia made chemistry class absolute Hell.
