Narcissists believe that everything revolves around them and everyone is their possession including, spouses, children, partners, friends. When you place your life in the hands of a narcissist, you are treading a dangerous path. He or she will commandeer your life, shift its trajectory and squelch your creative energies and forward drive. Narcissists are incapable of genuine relationships. Their idea of relating is based on the other person providing them with narcissistic supplies---praise, adulation, access to power, absolute loyalty, obedience. Those who give their lives up to the narcissist have unconsciously given up a vital part of their own being. Many spouses of narcissists have successful careers and accomplish a great deal in their own right. But they have placed themselves in the vulnerable position of being answerable to the delusional demands of their narcissistic partner.

 When we own a home we have a deed that certifies it is our property. We have a right to lead our own lives (even though we are married or partnered with another person). The narcissist will wrest your life deed from you if you give him or her a sliver of a chance. Protect the Deed to Your Life, first by learning to specifically identify narcissists before you give your heart to them. Tap into your own healthy narcissism---a solid sense of self respect and strong feelings of worth and value. The narcissistic personality disorder does not change. This psychopathology is fixed. The decision to form a relationship with a narcissist is yours. You have the power, especially if you are highly informed about this specific personality constellation.

With the Deed to Your Life in hand, you will move and thrive in the inviting waters of your creativity, uniqueness, your compassion for others and solid sense of self. To learn about every facet of the narcissistic personality disorder, visit my website:www.thenarcissistinyourlife.com
