Thank you. I won't go into details here, but that helps me understand and process the chain of events that led us to this point.

The first year of our relationship was absolutely amazing. She was a thoughtful, caring, selfless person.

She had struggles with depression the following year, unrelated to our relationship. I helped her through it and things were still good. Then we had a child. She spiraled into post-partum depression, which she refused to acknowledge or get help for. It only got worse with the second child we had immediately after. Then both our children were diagnosed with ASD. Her depression kept getting worse for several more years before I managed to get her to seek help.

I suddenly found myself living with a vindictive narcissist that has been gaslighting me for the past ten years. It has gotten to a point where she alienated me from all my family and friends. I have literally no one to talk to except for her and my psychiatrist.

A question I spend a lot of time asking myself is: Did her personality actually change that drastically? Or did I just miss the warning signs early on and she was always like this? It feels like her personality had a polarity shift within several months. What, in your experience, triggers such behavior in people?
