I have read most of the posts on this forum and it brings me comfort to know that I am not alone, but at the same time it is so incredibly depressing. My wife has cut everyone out of her life and has now turned her sites on me (and the kids). It’s the usual accusations of infidelity and “abuse”. The kids, in their 20s, are dumfounded by what they are witnessing and have tried to intercede, but she thinks I have converted them to my side with my “silver tongue”. She spends countless hours on the internet researching about "covert narcissists" and psychopaths which is her diagnosis for me. When she isn't obsessed on how horrible I am, she is researching conspiracy theories about the "deep state" and the end-times. Unfortunately, there are plenty of odd-balls on the internet who feed these ideas.
It seems as if no one gets out of this with their relationship intact. Is there any hope that I am going to get my wife back? Does this illness ever go into remission?
