Letter To A Hurricane Rick

Dear Hurricane Rick,

I will admit until I met you, I had no idea what narcissism meant. I had to Google its meaning, along with a few concerning characteristics I noticed during the time i was in the relationship I , I threw myself into the phrase narcissist trying to learn the signs, characteristics and how it could affect one's life and even then it took time for me to understand fully how this term fit you. Others had warned me. And I should have taken heed but instead i couldn't wrap my mind around it and i defended you per usual I spent a lot of time trying to defend your character , While others waited for me to see the light, but still it took months for me to step outside of the situation and begin to get a glimpse into who you really were

We are complete opposites. Your need for admiration and your sense of entitlement worked well with my empathetic side. Looking back now, I can see all those conversations where I stroked your ego only helped strengthen your control.

Too many times, I watched as you down play others in order to elevate yourself. However during these times I had on rose colored glasses and supported you and took your side if not all of the time most of the time. I was so naive. Especially when it came to recognizing the signs of a narcissist I witness you use your role to be dismissive to your female clients who wanted to give input.
