Hey Renee, The situation is far worse than one could imagine. Having your life and the material things attached that makes you unique has absolutely no value to the Narcissist other than being useful weapons to hurt you once again. Prior to the knowledge that has redefined my life I was close to a mental breakdown of mass proportions. Largely because I developed my own hypothesis about the universe totally against me. I was clueless that the man I just had sex with was the same man poking holes in my clothing and urinating on my blankets and pillows. While I was on the brink of shutting down mentally there were 4 or 5 major incidents/accidents that could have taken my life or the loss of a limb. At that time I was never fearful for my safety and well-being. Now that Narcissism is revealed I am constantly in a state of fear because these were preplanned. Not mere accidents or happen to be a coincidence. I am still in the marriage and have not been able to financially get out. I have several options that involve me staying with others and that I will not do because it would put them in harms way. Food for thought.. are all Narcissist this physically destructive? I have not found any articles on this behavior.
