I want to talk about that because Caroline, you were married to a narcissist, but you did not know that until he left you. So walk us through the piecing together of that for you, where you begin to connect the pieces and understand him as a narcissist and understand what you went through as narcissistic abuse.

Yeah, go back to that because people are going to be like, wait, what? But he had said that he had failed to give someone proper CPR at work. And his reaction was, therefore, I killed someone. And so that's a perfect example of look at it from this perspective. Is that true? Look at it from this.

When we talk about red flags of these folks, I'm feeling... so much compassion towards younger you, you know, younger everyone.

Or thinking that it was your fault. Right, right. I mean, by definition, you think you are doing something terribly wrong to aggravate this wonderful person until you're able to see it with new eyes.

I can recognize in someone else that if they're trying to isolate me from my family and friends and that that is a red flag. But do you think we're capable of stopping it before it gets there? Or is that just like the parts of them that need to be narcissists? There are parts of us that are being fed by that, that we need to walk through it.

Carolyn, we have had this ongoing conversation about how good, safe, stable love is. is boring as shit to people who grew up that way and why we dispose of it so quickly for this sexy, shiny object of drama.

And what she was talking about as how they were, she recruited folks for this too, how they were specifically trained to love bomb the shit out of everyone at the beginning. She spent 12 years in it. She said the rest of her time in that cult was was all trying to get back to that initial high of that initial love bombing. And so is that what you're saying?
