My children were all from my 1st marriage. #2 was the covert narcissist, and we had none. I promised them I would never write about them and I keep them out of all this. They always knew what he was and warned and begged and pleaded, but I could not hear them. Now they all live thousands of miles away (1670 miles, 3150 miles, and 5,230 miles).

A warning to those who can't leave. In the end, you will lose everything and everyone you love, then the narcissist will finish you off. It is truly a tragedy of epic proportions.
