Congratulations, you’ve made great strides!
In this stage in your journey, you have no contact with the narcissist.  Physical and emotional distance makes setting boundaries possible. Your life has been restored to a more peaceful, less complicated state.  Thank goodness!
You’ve developed new, healthier kinds of relationships.  You’ve learned to more easily identify toxic people and understand they do not have to stay.  You’ve done a great job of freeing yourself from the narcissist.
