I had a reasonably decent relationship with a raging narcissist for years and the key is a strong sense of self and NOT TRYING TO CHANGE them. It will never happen. My relationship had its ups, which we both enjoyed. But when things got outta hand, "See ya." You have to set yourself in the relationship on your own terms. Decide where your boundaries are, make it clear where they are, and stick to them. Protect yourself always.

One of the big mistakes people made with Trump was, "Oh he'll change when he gets the nom." Nope. "Oh, he'll change now that he's elected." Nope. "He'll definitely change when he gets in office." Nope, nope, nope. Personality is stable in a 70-year-old.
