Things I learned after leaving my narcissist husband.

My kids like me.

I was a great nurse, and there is no such thing as a "nurse personality," which he said I didn't have.

I'm a good writer, and now I'm learning to be a great writer.

People think I'm funny.

I CAN be sexy and flirty, when I choose to be.

I'm pretty good with managing money, and I'm frugal.

I'm a pretty good dancer, with the right partner.

I can follow through. I've bought three houses and sold two, all on my own.

With all the doubts he'd instilled in me, it's a wonder I had the courage to do any of these things.
