10. It must drive every mental health care professional

out there bonkers to not be able to say anything. And knowing what you know it is probably more frightening too than it is to the average person. I lived with a Trump grade narcissist for 13 years (still legally married to him). No one and nothing has ever hurt me as badly. The things he said and did to me were worse than my father's physical abuse. As painful as, maybe more than, my mother's death. I still haven't fully recovered.

So I know, first hand, what Trump is capable of and it scares the crap out of me. The only advice I ever got was to run as far and as fast at I could and to never look back because there was no treatment. Stopping trump's inauguration was all I cared about after election night. Now that he's in office how will we, an entire country, ever get away from him? There is no cure for what he will do as long as he's there. He's got to be removed.
