When I confront him after catching him in a lie, he flips the script to make it about me and makes me feel like I have done something wrong.

He also tries to manipulate me by bringing up my past or boasting about how I will never find a better man.

DEAR NOT MATTERING: You are married to a classic narcissist who isn’t going to change his pattern of gaslighting you. Make an appointment with a licensed mental health professional who can explain how unhealthy this marriage is and help you to rebuild your self-confidence. The truth is, there ARE “better men” out there, but you will never meet one until you are rid of the poor excuse for a man to whom you are currently married.DEAR ABBY: I want to thank you for a letter you published in 2007.

In 1980, after I had a family, I started night school. It was difficult, but I taught myself to focus on each word before moving to the next one. After you printed that letter, I went to an eye doctor who prescribed “prism” glasses, which made reading much easier. Many people have been diagnosed with this problem, but I’m sure a lot more have not been diagnosed. Children can be given exercises to correct it, but the older a person gets, the less likely the exercises will help.
