Welcome to "Looking Down The Rabbit Hole" – where I chronicle my musings on a fractured life at large. Here, I unpack the tangled threads of my past, examining childhood traumas as their full impact finally catches up with me. When life went sideways, these stories found their home. Names may change to shield both the innocent and the complicit, myself included, but the truth of each experience remains intact.

Committing to Insanity
When you exchange vows with a future partner it should be a genuine act of devotion between two equal partners. Each others' best interests should be at the heart of it. The desire to grow & change with each other, share lives, ideas, dreams, plans, goals should be mutual for as long as you both shall live. This is possible, it happens, but never with a narcissist. You fell in love with the charm, the charisma, the fun spirit who just seemed to flow, low key, patient, in tune and perfect. Convinced this was the best thing, an answer to those prayers, a partner at last. Sadly, the mask slips. You chalk it up to a one-off. The marriage ceremony took place, promises were made and this time, when the mask slips, it just keeps sliding, revealing all, a little at a time. Until one day, you stand back in stupefication. What just happened?
These highly dysfunctional devils rarely ever say what they mean, or mean what they say. Wedding vows are certainly no exception. When you marry a highly disordered person, you may as well vow to sacrifice your own health, sanity and peace of mind. Be ready to acquiesce to their every demand until they grows tired of you or until you drop dead. Basically, that's how they interpret your new legal commitment.
I now pronounce you victim and succubus. You may kiss the beast.
