In fact,particularlyin these types of dysfunctional situations, there's no time like now to  begin putting the relationship in its proper light...to start seeing the narcissist exposed in all his emptiness...to start managing your memories according to reality and not fantasy. Treat your recovery like any other recovery and commit to getting better - whether you're still involved with this person or not.Although I am not a doctor, teacher, or anyone formally educated on the topic of narcissism, I would  confidently discuss/debate my knowledge with those who are.

In my opinion, recovery from this type of emotional abuse begins with facing the facts of your relationship head-on. So fear not and let's go forward - I'm with you all the way!
