7. Tentam convencer-se a si próprios e a todos os que os rodeiam de que vão mudar
I need to admit something to you. I’m a proud ex-wife of an unfaithful narcisista disfarçado. Eu tinha 19 anos quando nos casámos e, na altura, pensei que ele nunca me magoaria porque me amava mais do que tudo no mundo.
Oh, meu Deus, como eu estava enganada! Estávamos casados há apenas dois anos quando descobri a traição dele. Continuei a ver muitos dos sinais de aviso e bandeiras vermelhas de que toda a gente nos avisa, mas recusei-me a acreditar.
I stayed with him even after he admitted his infidelity to me. I stayed with him because he was such a great manipulator who managed to make me and all of those close to us believe that he’d change.
Of course, as you may assume, that didn’t happen. After six months, he did it again, and at last, that was the final straw. After my processo de cura successfully ended, I met someone, and I’m still in a happy, relação de compromisso with that guy, and I honestly think he’s the one.
