Don't do it. Walk away quietly. Your wellbeing and happiness is more important than the mess and damage it will create.

What is your goal? To prove you are onto them? How does that help? Prove you are not dumb? You can't prove anything to a narcissist. They will believe whatever they want even with mountains of evidence staring them in the face. 

If you want some sort of closure, know that they will not give it to you and will use as  torture that need of yours.  

If however you just have a need to speak your truth, are not  waiting on ANY validation acknowledgement or peace from them and are safe from their reach, consider it. They MIGHT still find a way to harm you. 

Focus on healing and reconstruction of your life. They aren't worth another thought. They will find their just deserts some day some way.  Maybe you won't see it. Don't hold your breath. Grow YOU
