This bookhelped me recognize the ways in which I still volunteer myself as a scapegoat, and figure out where I needed to create my boundaries.

You did the right thing by putting your foot down. Just so you know, his past and mental illness are never a valid excuse for treating you badly, and its healthy for him for you to set the boundaries you need. Caregiver fatigue is real, and you can only help him if your needs are met too.
I hope this helps! Please pm me if you have specific questions or would like to talk more about PTSD/ADHD stuff!.

My therapist recommended "who's pulling your strings?" for learning how to deal with my MIL in a healthy way. I haven't read it yet but the Amazon blurb looks promising.

Yes, this is true. With really good at their job narcissists, they are hard to spot because their lies are so believable. I was taken in too and can kind of understand the FM’s. But, when logic is staring them in the face, I have to draw the line.
With nfamily, it can be so hard to distinguish normal vs. narcissist and I know that’s why it took me so long to recognize my sister as a N.
An author I found who has really helped me is: HG Tudor (on Amazon). Keep in mind, this author is a narcissist. But, the value is that he explains what he is thinking which I think is invaluable since I do not think like a N. At. All. And my trying to figure things out with my nonN brain makes the process take a long time.
Lastly, there is a fantastic book called: “Who’s Pulling Your Strings” by Harriet Braiker. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0071446729/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HWzLBbXFDFNXZ
I read this book regularly to help me with all manipulative people.
Per quanto riguardi gli "amici", leggi questo libro.

Si trova anche il pdf. Ti consiglio di iniziare da lì, visto che è la prima cosa che menzioni e che forse in questo momento fa male un po' di più.
(Leggo ora come ti definisci "molto altruista" e come questo crei problemi. Ti consiglio il libro ancora più caldamente.)
These aren't exactly what you described, but they are books on power and manipulation with yellow covers.
