You can’t help who you fall in love with. And sometimes, you might end up falling for someone terrible for you – and as unfortunate as a situation might be, it’s still something that happens all too often. There are so many kinds of terrible people out there, but there are very few who are worse than the narcissists of the world. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to fall in love with a narcissist, then you know just how terrible and toxic being in a relationship with one is. You are essentially getting into a relationship with someone who is self-obsessed, a person who only cares about themselves. It’s a “me” not “we” type of situation whenever you’re with him, and you can get fed up with that behaviour reasonably quickly. But being with a narcissist can be so emotionally draining that even when you end your relationship, you’re going to have difficulty finding your way into a healthy relationship again.
You might not see it right away, but being in a toxic relationship with a narcissist can have substantial negative effects on the way that you go about your own life. You are somehow made to believe that you are less significant than the people around you, as if your needs don’t matter as much as those of others. And it can take some time and effort to break away from those unhealthy philosophies. These emotional effects are primarily going to become clear to you when you start dating other people again. You will be given a stark contrast of what it’s like to date a great guy and a guy who is narcissistic.
Here are some things that you can expect to learn about being in a relationship with a great guy after dating a narcissist:
- The good guy always expresses his confidence in you.
He is always going to make you believe that he genuinely believes in you. He is never going to belittle or demean your capabilities. He isn’t going to feed into your insecurities. He isn’t going to be withholding his praise. He will put his trust in you, and he will make you believe in his faith in you.
- The right guy will do anything to earn and build your trust in him.
The narcissist won’t care much for earning your trust. Because in reality, he doesn’t care much about what you think of him. He only cares about what he thinks of himself.
- The right guy will be kind to you whenever and wherever.
Kindness is something that comes innately to the right guy. But the narcissist is only ever kind to you whenever he feels like he can get something out of it.

1. Talk early and often
It is never too early to start talking with and listening to your children about the first day of school. Ask them what they think school will be like and see if they have any specific concerns so that you will have time to address it over the next couple of weeks. It is totally normal to have first day jitters.
2. Go to the orientation
If your child’s school is hosting an orientation or back-to-school night, take advantage of it. Often children are worried that they will not know how to get to the bathroom, where to eat lunch, or how to get to a locker. If your school does not offer one or you are unable to make it, ask the teacher if it would be possible to stop by for a visit. Teachers are usually in their classrooms prepping for the new school year in advance.
3. Meet the teacher
For kids, wondering if they will like their teacher is a big source of fear. If your child isn’t comfortable in the teacher’s classroom, he or she will be less likely to be ready to learn. Many teachers will make themselves available for a phone or video call or will return an email if a visit is not possible.
4. For younger children, read books or watch educational cartoons
In August, local libraries will often display books about starting school or going to a new school. These materials can help children read about and see what a typical day will consist of and what they will learn in school.
5. Take your kids shopping with you
Your kids will be more excited to use their back-to-school supplies if they picked them out. Doing so will help them feel prepared and will also provide an opportunity to talk about how the new supplies might be used in the coming year.
6. Set up school “zones” and establish clear expectations
At home, establish a location for school materials such as a place to put backpack and lunchbox, and set up a distraction-free homework zone (like the kitchen table with the TV turned off and phones/tablets put away). Set up homework and study times (for example, Monday–Thursday from 3:30–5 pm) to help manage expectations and build and maintain good routines.
7. Practice your new routine
Both children and adults can benefit from practicing the new school routine one to two weeks before school actually starts. Stage a morning dry run to see how long it takes you and your children to get out of the door in the morning. It will not only help you predict how early you and your kids need to get up, but your children will benefit from learning what to expect each weekday.

Show your appreciation for the big or little things the teacher and other staff do for your child. Thank-you notes and emails can go a long way toward building positive relationships.
