Isn't it funny? I had the opposite journey. It was the alcoholism that drove me to seek help, but the reading about PD (and especially the manipulation tactics of people with NPD) that led me to leave. Anway, I'm not sure that any diagnosis of PD (amateur or professional) is very reliable when drink or drugs are in the picture. What really helped was seeing that manipulation for what it was for me in the here and now. I ended up not really caring about the "why", I was more bothered about the impact on me.

Yes, you need to make sure that you have done everything you can, especially as far as moving states is concerned. And I now that you feel like you were given a rough ride on your other thread, but please know that folk here are actually on your side. Engaging with him is only giving him more material for his file. You are smart. Use those smarts to protect yourself.
