The BEST Strategy in Dealing with a Narcissist

bound·a·ry (bound-r, -dr)
n. pl. bound·a·ries

1. Something that indicates a border or limit.
2. The border or limit so indicated

Definition: The emotional and physical space that we place between ourselves and others. Setting proper boundaries is important to our mental health. When appropriate boundaries are not set, we run the risk of becoming either too detached from or too dependent upon others.

June 7, 2011:
The boundaries have been communicated. And while too many other things were attempted to be discussed, it matters none, because we have set our boundaries and we heard our own words spoken out loud.

Your posts are fantastic. My ex-wife is a narcissist and I am remarried but that marriage is failing because I have set boundaries but failed to follow-through. I am now labeled as a sycophant! How do I stop? How do I stand up to this woman? I have children from my marriage with her and have to maintain a working relationship but setting and maintaining boundaries is so difficult.
