I have been wanting to tell people about my husband's Narcissism but question my motives. It feels like self defense in a way. I suppose if I can deflect blame to him I will be relieved of it all in some way. I'm wondering if it would be safe to discuss my findings and experiences with family members and people who ask about what is going on, or if it would be too hard for them to comprehend. I think I am probably his primary source of N supply ,he has no close friend or family. our children are the only others who get used. But the toll it is taking on us is getting harder. I want help. Sometomes I want validation. Sometimes I want revenge against him. I guess before answering this question it would be good to ask what could possibly come from it.
