To The Woman The Narcissist Cheated With…
Dear New Supply,
Don’t be startled, I won’t hurt you and the purpose of this letter is not to scare you or to harass you. I know you were told that I am crazy, violent, unstable, and not to be trusted… I heard the same things about the girls who came before me as well. I am not angry with you and wish you no ill will. Actually, I owe you some gratitude. You helped my abuse end and opened the doors to my healing. If it wasn’t for you, I would still probably be stuck with that sick man who never respected, loved, or treated me how I deserved.
Now to be honest, I have not always been able to view you this way. When I first discovered you, I was inappropriately furious with you when 100% of my anger and disappointment should have only been directed at him. I blamed you for getting involved with him when you knew he was with someone else. Maybe you didn’t know the whole truth, I know what a talented actor and storyteller he can be, but you had to know about me. Where did you think he lived? Where did he keep his clothing? Where did he disappear to on holidays and why weren’t you invited? Why was he so secretive with his phone?
The answers to these questions do not really matter to me anymore. I should have asked more questions too when he would disappear from parties unexpectedly or have to all of a sudden go into work or stay…
