My husband is a narcissist. I didn't know this about him until i searched some of what he was doing to

me on google. I have known him for over 35 years married him in 2010. After I married him he changed . Started to control me got very mean very jealous. The past 4 years he really changed and I was locked in his house for the past 2 years. I could not walk due to a handicap. he would not take me to my doctor appointments. He would tell me he wanted to be single and wanted a divorce. He told me to leave but wouldn't let me. In Nov 2016 he moved another women in our house saying she was his friend and needed a place to stay. I caught them having sex but they did not know it. When I confronted him he denied it. I finally left on June 20 2017 with the help of my son. The effects of the abuse I can't get rid of. I am tormented by what he did to me day and night. I don't have the will to live. I want to know why

    It sounds like your life has been turned upsides down by this monster, and thats what he is, hes not a man, just a coward and youre the bigger person by realising what hes done to you and by being brave enough to leave so well done you! You now need to focus on recovering, seek out help through therapy, he hasnt broken you, if he had you would never have had the belief that you could actually get away from him for fear or loyalty. Alot of the women that have experienced this, once recovered, go on to help others who have experienced the same, once you are well enough this might help you further.

    you are an amazing person with a loving son, now blow away those horrible clouds of your past and bathe in the sunshine once again x

    It sounds like you are very lucky to have got out of there in one piece.  You definitely have to move on with your life now and get the support that you need.  Speak to your GP about referring you to some support groups and focus on one day at a time.  I hope he gets what he deserves in the end.
