More Description 'Today you raged at me in a caf#65533; and I felt myself shut down. It was like being verbally hit over and over again. The whole thing is too hard. It's not one thing, it's one hundred. I can't do this anymore, it's dragging me under. I want to find the me I used to be. I wish I had never let you back in.'Are you in love with the idea of who you thought he was, hoping he will return to the man from the beginning? That's the mistake I made while caught up with a narcissist and I lost years of my life because of it. Unfortunately I was in love with the fairytale man. Not the selfish, neglectful, narcissistic personality he really was. I was in love with the idea of my very own Prince Charming, with me cast as his Cinderella. Throughout the relationship I held on to that romantic fantasy, hoping and praying that he would turn back into my dream man from the beginning. But that's all it was - a fantasy. He simply read me like a book and acted out the role of who I wanted him to be, at least to begin with. Once his mask came off completely, I was to discover that my Prince Charming was about as charming as a saber-toothed tiger... End of the Fairytale is the second part of the Love Games Series and picks up where Planet Ben left off - my narcissistic ex and I have broken up but I make the mistake of taking him back. It is a day to day journal written over the remainder of my relationship, through to the ultimate end and shows my subsequent slide from a confident woman to an emotional wreck; a person I could barely recognize. By the 'final final breakup, I was worn out on every level. Yet I have nobody to blame but myself because I am the one who allowed him to suck, or 'hoover me back in.If you are aware he is a narcissist but struggling to accept it or let him go - perhaps you've broken up many times but he keeps hooking you back in again - then this true story will help you to see the similarities in your own relationship. In order to fully break the pattern, it is necessary to not only understand the narcissist's personality traits but also your own. It is not something in you that causes him to constantly criticize, punish and with-hold love, it is something in him. However it is equally your problem because it is something in you that allows him to do it.Told in real time with verbatim journal entries, End of the Fairytale will reflect your own situation and show you why there can be No Contact and no going back, because the narcissist will never change. Instead, we are the ones who need to change in order to break away from these types of dysfunctional relationships.
