I’ve been in a “situation” for four years working as part-time one-woman staff for a doctor. He knows I need the job so when his temper flares he threatens to close the practice and verbally attack me where he knows it will hurt the most. A few years ago I divorced a narcissistic man determined to destroy me, and this feels uncomfortably similar. It’s crazy-making and exhausting. Thank you for sharing this information. My boundaries are strong and I’ve learned not to expose my vulnerability, ever. I plan to create some choices for myself soon and move on. It will be far easier to thank him for this life lesson from a distance.
