narc non-speak

My therapist summed up the "relationship" succintly--it was a power play. I hate to think of what my ex-P is putting the OW (if she's still with him),let alone his students, through. He thought his students were keeping a "respectful distance"--no, behind his back, they hated him. His fellow professors didn't like him that much either. After the D&D, I heard that his fellow professors avoided him- they were the ones ostracizing him- because of the way he treated me. My ex-Psychopath professor had a strange way of speaking and writing. I could have NORMAL discussions with my ex-Narcissistic boss;we could talk about music,cooking,etc. But with my ex-P? Normal conversations? Psychopaths have a hard time processing complex thoughts. Here's a sample of his writing. Back in the day, his writing could make my heart race and my hormones run. Now, I find it an all-natural cure for insomnia (do not read while operating heavy machinery or driving) Here it is: "In thinking he has grasped the 'essence of language' (what Wittgenstein calls a 'non-spatial, non-temporal phantasm') he has disengaged himself from the very thing that does in fact give meaning to language, namely, the hurly-burly that is human activity. What the Investigations aims to do is lead the philosopher (whether in Wittgenstein or ourselves) back to that reality in which language has meaning... This bringing back words to their everyday use involves looking in detail in which words are used. The activity of the Investigations, like the activity of (Augustine's) Confessions, is an activity in which one struggles to remain within the reality of human life despite the temptation to run 'up against the limits of language',a reality in which there is yet the possibility of real wonder." I remember telling my ex-P he used the phrase "in which" waaay too much. Even my mother has gotten on my case on that in my own writing(!!!) Considering he's from Massachusetts, I was ready to start the Salem Which Trials. I'm glad my ex-P is NOT my husband. Besides, he's a total killjoy.
