I was reading the other day and came across a term I've heard a hundred times but never really understood. Narcissism. What is a narcissist? So I looked it up on dictionary.com. A narcissist is a person who is self-involved and often vain and selfish. Hmmm. Interesting. So I wanted to learn more about it. I found a link to a site that listed many ways to tell if you are dealing with a narcissist. And boy did I get a surprise!! For many years I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my ex husband. and there it was right in front of me!! The answer i have been searching for. My ex husband is a narcissist!! Omg. You see my ex husband. is the most selfish person I have ever met but the thing is, he doesn't realize it. It extremely. difficult to deal with. I found out quite a bit of info about narcissists. A person can have many traits of narcissism without actually full blown narcissistic personality disorder. My ex has many traits of narcissism. He is likeable, very charismatic, and personable. He always has to have the nicest things. Nice car, nice house, nice everything. Even at thr expense of his kids going without the necessities. One of the common traits of narcissism is that they are very likable at first glance and easy to fall in love with. They can be perfect until a life changing event happens such as marriage or having kids. Which is exactly what happened in this case. They also have excuses for everything and make everything personal. They don't like criticism. They are often found in leadership roles. And appearance is everything to them. My ex husband wanted us to appear like the perfect family. Nice car, nice house, nice kids. But we were far from perfect. And the biggest piece of info I found was that the best way to deal with a narcissist is to avoid them all together. While I cannot completely avoid the father of my children, i can happily report that we are separated and in the process of divorce.
Happy Valentines Day everyone!! For all of us single people out there, Valentines Day is the most depressing day of the year. Getting to see all the happy couples and feelings envious as hell lol.

Anyways, happy VDay to all the happy couples out there. I am happy for you even if I'm envious lol. And to all the singles out there... I feel ya!!! Lol. As for me, I am headed to the casino for a poker tournament. Spending my VDay getting drunk and losing money sounds just fine to me. Lol. Peace
