We are subjected to the most gut-wrenching emotional and mental abuse by this malignant narciccistic sociopath, and we have nowhere to go.
And now we are in mortal danger.

These rules apply to all the Cluster B disorders, imo.

(6,448 posts)I just know I'll get stuck with Eric, although he's beyond 2 grade levels behind in everything.
He needs to know there aren't guns allowed in my home, so he'll be an automatic flight risk.
Ivanka wouldn't work either. We don't use peroxide for that.
I feel bad for the other daughter. Trump had to be talked out of aborting her, so she feels unwanted. I'd compare her to Marilyn Munster, I guess.

Trump has no capability to see himself as anything less than a '10' in ANYTHING...science, golf, business, governing, hair, health, diplomacy, war strategy....ANYTHING

He didn't make or invent anything new and he's the richest man in the world.
That's Jeff B. founder of Amazon.
Wacky isn't it?
He's lucked into a money printing press for himself.
But this guy is a greedy fucking asshole, thus a problem.
Takes full advantage, just search, I aint typing out a full slam, it's readily available.
NEXT!

(1,402 posts)Wow, you are so right, I've never thought of it that way but now that you mention it, I realize you are so right. We have been subjected to verbal and emotional abuse over and over again. After a time, you give up and feel like a victim. He (DJT) has taken the fight out of all of us and his behavior has become the norm. We are victims of his narcissistic behavior. Just get an Al-Anon book and it will show us how to deal with this type of individual. Our whole country needs to heal and get him out. He has everyone around him enabling him and co-towing to his whims and narcissistic behavior. And.....now because of DJT's failures we are faced with this horrible virus.

(37,158 posts)He's where he is because of the inFOXicated, factose-intolerant malignant narcissistic sociopaths that put him there.
Meaning the ones who voted for him, AND the party apparatchiks that spent their careers fostering a voter base of inFOXicated, factose-intolerant malignant narcissistic sociopaths.
They're the abusive partners who think the house belongs to them and them alone.
