		<description><![CDATA[Believe me, I&#039;m not! I think that&#039;s my issue... who was the narcissist? I loved being a muse and took full advantage, but once he realized I didn&#039;t love him back, he could not handle it. He succeeded in making me feel guilty for not having a feeling, something out of human control, and I&#039;m contemplating that. There are much deeper issues I&#039;m trying to address than something so textbook or black-and-white as you suggest. And for the record, no one around me objected or intervened; I had to get out of this myself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t beat yourself up.  You were dating a classic narcissist.  A certain type of toxic person who knows how to &quot;hook, line and sink&quot; their prey.  They observe carefully, then provide what you ask. They will do anything to win you over, then carefully rob you of yourself so they can feel better.  You become a corpse...they move on to feed elsewhere.  Stitch yourself back together and count your blessings, in particular, his absence!  And always listen you your family and close friends!

Love,

Mom]]></description>
