    You've done me good, in the past - I, too, am there if you want to talk.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Well, your solution is... radical, to say the least. A year or two ago, I would have agreed with you, most probably, but still wouldn't go for it. Thankfully, some people in this very comment section have already shown me that there are better ways to do it. I'll use the benefits I have towards me, and in the meantime I'll do my best to rebuild myself into a person I want to be. I've survived 20 full-contact years with my parents - I can do four more, especially since those are separated.

Still, thanks for sharing the solution. I may be able to scrape the ideas for something that fits better into the general plan.

You're welcome.

And my solution is very radical, yes - but remember, anything a narcissist gives you may, eventually, be used as a weapon against you to try and guilt-trip you into not leaving. Take that as you will.

I know that. I also know that I don't owe anything to anyone unless I decide so, as per proof from zero (which I have to expand upon on Hubski sometime in the future). I know how this can be used, and hopefully, I will recognize the attempt at the moment. Let's see how it goes.

Sure thing, best of lucks.
