Well thanks for confirming that I really was dating a narcissist for 8 years. I constantly was accepting blame and even grew accustomed to apologizing for everything just in order to keep the peace. I explained it to my therapist as walking on eggshells. He would be grouchy and treat me like crap for no reaaon (later I found out he was a covert drug addict, and the reason he was probably in a bad mood at my place was because he was not able to use drugs around me) and I would immediately apologize. When we were in therapy together and they asked what percentage of the fights were his, he immediately said none. Zero. Everything was my fault. I had told the therapist that probably about 40 to 60% of the arguments were my fault simply because I would demand to be treated with respect and I got tired of being told I was a slave owner because I asked him to pay half of the rent and keep up with chores around the house, which he never did.

That's awesome. I feel really guilty going to college and pursuing a career that pays much more than my parents ever made. However my parents were able to buy a home and have a successful life until my dad became disabled off of what little money they made back then. I've been busting my hump since age 15 and still I'm paying rent in an overpriced City on the west coast, hardly able at all to give my kids the same amount of benefits that I had growing up - and I was just a lower middle-class kid from Seattle! Nowadays even though I make twice than than what my dad made back then, I'm considered poverty level.
