Hi there,
SANE is in the process of developing a fact sheet on Narcissistic Personality Disorder and to ensure it's accurate and helpful, we are looking for people with a lived experence of NPD to review the factsheet and, if comfortable, provide a quote to integrate into the article (you can remain anonymous)
If you're interested, email mat.larkin@sane.org (he's one of our content writing gurus!)

Hi,
I believe I may be of use to people, somehow, deal with NPD.
My family doctor told me approx. 10 years ago she could not help me with my NPD wife, she herself had to ask for help.
I am now a single parent after my wife passed away. She was NPD, I believe!
I am currently doing my best to 'keep the boat afloat', that is our house that has a massive mortgage.
After my controling NPD wife using the mortgage and credit cards to pay for self interest possessions I am now selling a lot of these items to try to pay bills and mortgage to keep the bank happy.
That's a start.
How can I help?
