    Divorcing a Narcissist: GOOD-BYE MR. NARCISSIST
    by Tina

    GOOD-BYE MR. NARCISSIST
    by Jamie- Warrior Mom at OMB
    *
    I am the Windex
    To my Narcissist’s mirror
    Not to make it shiny
    But to make the truth clearer
    For NNN is delusional
    Reality he does fear
    I once was his victim
    Now, my life I must steer
    I asked you Mr. Narcissist
    What you wanted from me
    As I refused to crawl lower
    On this bended knee
    And you NNN did nothing
    But yell, punch, and rant
    I’m telling you now Mr. Narcissist
    I refuse, I just CAN’T!!!
    I’m saving my children
    Feeding them empathy and air
    So go act all entitled
    And stare in your mirror
    We’ve moved to the future
    The one you so fear
    We’ve taken our feelings
    The ones we’ve made clear
    So Good-Bye Mr. Narcissist
    Take comfort in your stare
    I’ll spit on your mirror
    And even leave you a chair
    You took what you wanted
    But I’ve got your best
    PLEASE stare in your mirror
    DO puff out your chest
    Your rage is not welcomed
    Projections – No More!!!
    You’ve run out of batteries
    Because we were your store
    Our future looks brighter
    With your triangulations all gone
    Denial is YOUR highway
    While we rejoice on green lawn
    Go ahead and feel envy, covet, and spite
    For these children by my side
    All know what is right
    While we ride off into the sunset
    And out goes your tide
    A false-self is your keeper
    A reality you can no longer hide
    I’m going NO CONTACT
    So we’ll communicate no more
    For you Mr. Narcissist
    Are just one giant chore
    All we asked for was loving
    Which just strengthened your shame
    We were all heart
    While you were just GAME
    Yes!!! Yes!!! Mr. Narcissist…
    It is Good-bye!!!
    For YOU are disordered!!!
    And that is NO lie!!!

    Jamie’s Bio: At one time or another, I have found myself in and out of every imaginable muddy trench a narcissist can create. Now in my 5th decade of life, I have escaped the dark cloud of narcissism that has loomed overhead. With the help, guidance, support, and friendship of some amazing and skillful individuals, I see sunshine. A parent and two husbands, totaling nearly 33 years of wedded “unbliss”, will no longer darken my days. A former special education teacher, I have survived the torturous rigors of a full psychological/custody evaluation, gaining FULL custody of my children, whom I have parented alone for over a decade. I have never “battled” over my children, but I will always “battle” for them. I have chosen to trade in my once worn suit of protective armor for sunscreen, walking every day forward, vulnerable, in the California Sunshine.

    I looked at it online, Gail, but ended up not buying it. The table of contents seemed to indicate 250 pages of her marriage and only about 20 pages with chapters that sounded useful. Only 3 pages on the Family Court, 13 pages on “Tina’s Tips” what ever those are, so I decided it didn’t sound like enough bang for the buck for me.

    I like her blog, though, and her book may be very helpful for all I know.
