Question:
My husband has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and is very hostile.  I am not allowed to talk about my feelings of anger, nor can I mention anything that he does wrong.  He is also ADD.  His attitude is such: "Don't trigger me by saying anything I don't want to hear."  How do I handle this so that I am not left feeling demolished?

Dr. Heller's Answer:
It's going to be extremely difficult.  Individuals with the NPD cannot handle any criticism and lash out in response to it.  Constant compliments without complaint can make the relationship easier.  You don't have to feel "demolished" by what he says.  For one thing accept that he's ill.  For another, you need some help yourself.  I strongly recommend counseling and to read books about being a more successful person emotionally such as "Your Erroneous Zones" and "Pulling Your Own Strings" by Dr. Wayne Dyer, "Happiness is a Choice" by Barry Neil Kauffman, and "Looking out for Number One" by Robert Ringer.
