Lts the whole point of surviving infidelity is to get OUT of it. You are keeping yourself completely embroiled in his drama and bullshit in a very purposeful manner and that is NOT healthy for YOU in any way imho. You have been absolutely obsessed with him - What he's saying, is he taking to ap, they can't be together, you talking to ap constantly, where's his car, where's her car, is he doing drugs, is she, what's her roommate saying, what's her criminal record.... And on and on and on. I'm not trying to bust your bubble, but I just can't see your actions having a positive effect or outcome for you in the long term.
In the time since your first jfo post, you've been devastated, suicidal, a week later "I'm over him", "I'm doing great", angry, crying, "so happy he's gone", 2 days later posting in nb about doing online dating, then back to obsessing about him and ap again.
I'm not saying any of that to shame you honey. Being cheated on is fucking AWFUL. The thoughts you're having and the wtf are very normal. But you persist in putting allllll your focus on him and have been for a long time (sinch hs iirc). Your focus should be on YOU. By filing charges and now allowing yourself to get sucked into a legal drama, all your energy is STILL ON HIM. And believe me, he and twatap are loving this. This makes them feel like some hot shit that they clearly hold so much power over you.
The only way to win the game with a narc is not to play at all. Cus there's no winning playing with people like that.
Do your kids feel the need for some sort of closure with him? They're grown yes? Then let them deal with that how they see fit. I know when my mom's bf and her broke up cus of his fuckwittage, my 'closure' with him was a pretty succinct "fuck you dude".
