  Abuse, dishonest, manipulation, and criminal behavior is spot on accurate.

  The most heartbreaking realization is how capable they were of controlling themselves all along. They carefully choose who to abuse and who to respect at all costs.

  When I started to learn about NPD 2 yrs ago. I made the decision to step out of a 20 yr relationship with 5 children. &nbsp;<br>Nothing can prepare you for the disgusting abuse these people will put you through Nothing. &nbsp;I&apos;ve been out and I&apos;m staying out . Have shared custody for now. But it&apos;s not gonna be for long. I can&apos;t let my children be a part of the cycles much longer. I have so much evidence against her &nbsp;in regards to violating custody laws , lack of stability and respect for the children. &nbsp;These people are truly disgusting

  This is literally exactly my experience with my BPD ex wife, especially the intermittent reinforcement. I always wondered how they could act one way in private and 5 minutes later leave the house and act like the most in control happy person. I always suspected it was an act, but fell for the usual line that because she had BPD that you had to help her manage her emotions, and support her and be there for her, all as you lost yourself in the madness. The triangulation commentary was spot on as well. She was always introducing a foil to any equation to show how I didn’t care for her or support her. This was usually a family member, a friend and frequently my job. I only wish I left her first. There were abundant signs and times to do so. Instead I stuck it out and got discarded through the divorce process.

  Very good description of my sisters behaviour. She’s a Borderline. My brother is an extremely jealous narcissist. After administering my father’s estate 25 years ago I severed all ties with my family to leave them both behind for good. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

  It would be great if therapists would just come clean about it and just admit there’s no “cure” and since there is none then therapy will only have very limited (if at all) benefits

  Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this after feeling like I’ve been going crazy for 10 years with a cluster B. To anyone watching this who’s still with one of these people, I promise it won’t get better and will almost guaranteed just get worse, especially at the end. I completely empathize with wanting to believe that underneath all the confusion, manipulation and abuse that there’s a good heart. I can tell you there isn’t. Protect yourself at all costs. Understand that protecting yourself, protects your kids, your financial future and your sanity. Don’t expect fairness or agreeableness in any form, they don’t care about you and they will do everything they can to watch you burn.

  You put it straight and honest, people who have experienced abuse really need your voice and straightforwardness to see what it is that they suffered. Please don’t ever change, much love
