I'm so sorry, I have no better words than what's already been said but I do want to say welcome and we're glad to have you here. Please remember this is a safe place to come to receive support, encouragement, and advice.
Where are you living now? When did this all happen?

That sucks. Betrayal is one of the worst feelings to grapple with. On the level of grief. It's probably best to ask the therapist if you should report it and have them help you work through your intentions.
I don't know if you meant it but the title of this thread reminds me of that song by Damien Rice called Blower's Daughter which was created for the 2004 movie, "Closer", starring Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. It was about complicated relationships and deceit when a man from one couple meets the woman of another couple. That movie always lingers in my mind because it remains unresolved for me. There can be no happy ending with an unhappy journey.

Wow. I am so, so sorry. I commend you on being able to get away as soon as possible. You're far better off in Canada with family.
I regularly peruse public health news sites and twitter feeds for work, and found this today. It's about leaving a narcissistic partner. It made me think of this thread. May not be helpful but I thought I'd share: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/projec...r-a-narcissistWife, support system, and partner-in-crime to PGY-3 (IM) and spoiler of our 11 y/o yellow lab

That link is spot on. Some of the comments, even. I see so much of him in the experiences others have had with narcissists. He started to treat me like i was inferior toward the end. Like i wasn't worth much to the planet if i wasn't doing medicine. He used me until the day of his board exam after which he came out with it all. It was all self-serving. I am glad i am out. I feel like he doesn't have what it takes to make a long term relationship work, which i crave so much. I need to find someone who can give me true love one day. Thanks for responding.

This book helped me when I was going through my divorce, as did the support of the amazing members here.

i think it depends on what you want to do. also, since he's doing a fellowship, his previous employer would not care too much about ethics violation. his current employer will care but again, to what extend, i don't know. one interesting play would be to report to the state board--again, not sure what the affect of that will be. especially if it becomes a he said/she said story.
depending on your emotional/financial stake, sounds like you can walk away or throw some mud. it's all up to you.

I think you are incredibly brave for what you've done for yourself! It's important to be close to your core support. I don't have much advice but I want you to know that I am rooting for you! Let things simmer down and you will be more than fine
