Where to start...

It's been 14 days since I initiated the no contact with my boyfriend of two and a half years.
It's strange I don't yet feel very sad, there has been no tears (yet) and I'm determined to get this loser out of my life for good.
When he came into my life, I had known him and his wife for years. I had heard through the grapevine that they were finished so I wasn't really surprised when I received a facebook inbox from him one night. I, stupidly assumed, he was hurting from the separation and was looking to talk to a friend.
I spent a long night and several bottles of wine talking to him and sharing both of our stories. I've been divorced 6 years and came out of an abusive relationship. Looking back, I was the perfect victim.
Right from the beginning our relationship was far from perfect. I loved the guy and was truly determined to make it work with him. I guess, like everyone else, I just wanted to feel loved and needed.
Over the two and a half years, I've been called every name imaginable, been accused of cheating, called a liar constantly and degraded to no end. I've been kicked out of his house numerous times. And a year ago was supposed to move in with him, so I sold most of my stuff to get ready. A week before we were getting ready to make the move he informed me he had changed his mind.
It truly sickens me when I look back at all the things he did to me, but more importantly the fact I took it and most times came back apologizing to him. Most times, even when it wasn't my fault.
I've been doing a tonne of reading on narcissists and can see he's pretty textbooks and also that the pattern of being "tossed to the curb" numerous times for no reason seems to be routine. He has managed to isolate my family (they despise him), my friends (who are tired of hearing yet another breakup story) and my kids who are tired of watching me sit on the couch crying and pinning for him. He's broken into my house and taken all the stuff he's given me. Five months into our relationship he gave me an expensive ring and watch. I've given those items back more times then I can count. It seems to be all about money and possessions with him. He always wants stuff back.. It's so odd.
This time around he accused me of not answering his text messages. When I told him it was because I was outside waiting for him he called me a liar. When he has his rages he blows my phone up with texts. Lots of accusations and one word comments from him. I almost can't get a text in. Stupidly, we talked and a few days later had one of the best weekends we've had. He cried and told me he didn't want to lose me, blah, blah. By Monday, he was texting me about my past wondering why I've never told me about my "kills". Was it weekly, hourly, was I a woman of the night. It was complete and utter crap. I told him my past was none of his business and didn't define my relationship with him. (Truthfully my past is nothing special or filled with skeletons).
He sent me a text and said "This is how its going to go, you sit down with me and tell me your past or we are done (I've heard We Are Done a million times) and no longer a couple.
I sat on it over night and in the morning something in me snapped. I texted him "I've never given you a reason not to trust me. We are done. We are no longer a couple."
I then blocked him on my phone, facebook and initiated no contact.
It was good until this weekend, when I was coming home late at night and he was at the end of my driveway. He's been texting all my friends telling them what a piece of garbage I am, blowing up my work email and voicemail (which I can't block him from), he's had his teenage kids texting me asking for his stuff back.
I'm staying strong. I'm disappointed in myself for not doing this sooner and honestly at this point just waiting for some more of his narcissistic rage. I truly believe he's not done with me yet. The positive side, I hate him like I've never hated anyone in my life. This is a new feeling for me with him.
Thanks for reading.
