A client of mine found this on a blog called 'My Narcissistic Mother'
Rule #1: Never try and reason with a narcissist because they are unreasonable.
Rule #2: You are wrong, the narcissist is right. Get over it.
Rule #3: Narcissists don't get 'hurt feelings' they get 'devastated', and it's all your fault.
Rule #4: You are an extension of the narcissists person; you are an OBJECT.
Rule #5: You are still wrong.
My input to this is that there are a couple of ways to cope with this. First acknowledge that you will never get your point across, second, do not try to argue because you will lose, third, do not try to improve your relationship anymore then you already have because you will not be able to. If all else fails and the relationship has become toxic to you to the point of getting physical ailments when you have contact with the person then cut off all contact. If you have questions about your relationship with a narcissist then contact me through www.brighterdays4you.com.

This was very interesting to me. It's hard to read something like this and not compare/contrast people (and yourself with them). I wonder how many people have narcissistic tendencies and don't realize it.
Narcissists are unreasonable. This is what I did - wrote a book about what it's like to date a narcissist.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
the book by Kent Daniel Glowinski
NEWS RELEASE
EVER TOLD A TERRIBLE EX YOU WOULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
CANADIAN LAWYER WROTE THAT BOOK.
January 18, 2008 – OTTAWA, CANADA – Today, Canadian lawyer Kent Glowinski, age 29, released his first book “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”.
“Have you ever told a terrible ex that you would write a book about your relationship? This is that book. Rather than burn your bridges with exes, why not blow them to pieces?” stated Glowinski.
Through the over fifty poems set in various locations, including an IKEA store, under a Martha Stewart Duvet Cover, and at a murder-by-knitting-needle scene, Glowinski weaves together the story of a relationship gone horribly wrong - small battles over cups of tea, full-scale wars over an afternoon leek soup.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a book about falling in love with the unlovable: the arrogant, the self-centred and the narcissistic; and speaks not only in terms of the wreckage we leave behind when love implodes, but the different ways we couples communicate: through social class, different upbringings, values, and style of loving one another.
“This is the perfect Valentines day gift for an awful ex,” concluded Glowinski.
More information and book purchase can be made at www.narcissism.ca. Book will be in retail outlets/Amazon.com later in the month.
