Life Update!
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my heart and where I've been! It's been a minute since I've been gone, and it feels good to be back!
I hope my stories of how I continually find peace and comfort in God, no matter the circumstances, inspires you to pursue the same in your life! Jesus loves you so much!
Dear God, I acknowledge that I need you in my life. I acknowledge that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and redeems me. I ask for your forgiveness of my sins, and invite you into my heart. Help me to understand your heart for me, and that your mercies and grace are new every day. I surrender my life to you.
In Jesus name, amen.

    My wife likes to say things to my daughter about me. while knowing that what she's saying is about me and in front of me. she knows she is trying to get under my skin. When I call her out on it she says I'm being crazy and it makes me angry .... At that point I'm angry and call it what it is... It really bothers me. I just turned 40 and I made a pact to myself at 37 that of it doesn't change by 40 I have to leave. My wife is a middle child and has played the victim roll mostly all of her life. Where as I am an oldest sibling of four and have had to endure an abusive childhood with a single mother and no positive male roll model. I've had to suck it up and overcome a lot of stuff to try and become a man that I can be proud of and I'll be damned if I am going to backslide into the guy I was in my 20s. So I have to leave her. I do care a great deal about her and I love my child unconditionally but I feel that her mother is stunted by her inability to think outside her own victimhood. I can admit when I'm wrong and do apologize when I am. It's not in her character to apologize. It's cold shoulders and days of not speaking to me which feels like a form of psychological punishment. At this point I'll be glad to be rid of her. .. when we met I was on a path of self work and trying to meet new friends and build meaningful healthy relationships. We were friends for awhile before we dated and never fought or argued.. once we made it official things went south. Thanks for listening I guess... Fml

      You're a young man who is obviously capable of introspection, personal growth has moved you to a positive phase and you matured. Very good that you set a time frame for action at 37. Three years later, it's still going south. Do leave, oh yes but before you let any official action become obvious, please be prepared for war, dirty battles and a lot of public faking. Document, record what you can. Narcs will be very vindictive on a path to destroy you. Make sure your accounts are protected and shift any insurance you had on her, to your child. Really, really protect yourself. Perhaps let trusted people at work know that you've left and that you she may play dirty regarding your work (showing up in tears etc or planting lies) I sincerely wish you well and success young man. After you've let time pass to heal, may your future be far happier. It will be.

  • @ShippyPap
    @ShippyPap Рік тому

    The technique of a narcissist poking and prodding until you react is called “reactive abuse”. The whole goal is to get a rise out of you so they can immediately pull the victim role-reversal card and make you look like the aggressor. To win with the narcissist you do not play their game. Cut them off completely and take your power back. No-contact all the way is the only way. Do not feed the narcissist. You must starve them. NEGATIVE ATTENTION (fighting with them) is one of the strongest forms of supply. 💜✌🏻

    I am dealing with one. Fortunately he is self arresting and less than well thought-out. Despite being in my midst, an unfortunate reality at this point, silence/no contact has proven HIGHLY effective. Simply going about my business as he goes out of his way to scream, yell and explode (in front of whoever is around) exposes him for who he truly is whilst I move forward undetered. I simply do not respond or look at him as the histronics go over the top.

    Many times, when someone "re-examines their Faith", .....i would offer this, to be cautious about. Suppose, you were in a very strict or abusive church. Then, you got away or left it. And you feel good about that. But-- too often-- those same folks who do that, then go from a strict or abusive church to a far-too-lax and loose/casual "hyper-Grace" church where hardly anything is a sin and its all so "totally caszh, duuude" and everything is all about "llooovve" and "Grace"....but no accountability. No difference from "the World". Christians are to be the "Salt of the earth" but where is the salt? I think its good to ask questions and to feel a confidence in one's beliefs. But its sad that sooo often people get out of something and then swing to some opposite extreme. Beware of that. You might enjoy some youtube videos (about Christianity & current "culture") by Natasha Crain.

      I appreciate your perspective! I am indeed very much in my faith still. The reason why I started to reevaluate things is because I’ve been discovering more and more how many “cherry-picked” scriptures are used for manipulation and guilt, and taken out of context, being backed in someone’s personal judgment. Rather than deconstructing in looking for a way out, I looked at all the ways and “why’s” I chose to stay in my faith! The biggest issue with people walking away is that God is put in a box and often expected to act as a convenient genie in a bottle, meeting people’s expectations and to be predictable, which is the furthest thing from who God is! The other biggest thing is that church wounds or unmet expectations put people in a box to resemble Christ perfectly, but how can flawed and imperfect people be “perfect”? It is healthy to listen to your intuition, and that gentle nudge to move on to another church, rather than putting the entire church community into a lump of failure. There’s so much more I can address with this, but I’ll leave this here.

  • @dabbler1166
    @dabbler1166 Рік тому

    How interesting. I've listened to several UA-cam videos (from various people) on Narcissism and have never experienced the "early love bombing" that later gets taken away. What I HAVE experienced is a whole lot of: "Disagree, Dismiss, Invalidate and Minimize!" Over and over. And, as Jess pointed out somewhere, their "little interest in others experiences". They quickly shift to a different topic or turn the conversation back to themselves.. But I have 2 other questions: 1. Is Jess a Psychologist? Certified? This is not an attack. If she is just someone with opinions on Psychology, I still enjoy her informative videos. I'm a "layman" myself. But I'm curious. And-- 2. Has anyone ever run into this? Is it even "a thing"? What might be behind this? Any speculations? It's a sort of cluster that seems unrelated to each other. It goes like this: A) HUGE concern/emphasis on PRODUCTIVITY/Workaholism. This person visits you once, possibly twice, in a year. Always when convenient for them. Because their yard "needs" constant attention. They are gone from home working 2 weeks on and maybe home for 2 weeks or sometimes just 1 week. But still. I mean, for once or twice out of a year, couldn't they pay someone 75 bucks to mow their lawn and water some plants while their gone visiting you for a week or 10 days? And-- B) Other people this person works with are usually categorized as either competent or worthless. Hardly any in-between. There's still more . . . C) when visiting here, they are on a very tight schedule and they have it planned and mapped out. They may help and do yardwork for your old parents for hours and barely have much more free time than to have brunch and dinner and maybe an hour of TV after dinner then into bed and repeat the next day. But where was any Fun? You don't get along with them. It's as if every encounter, you feel they will try to "set the agenda" of what happens and when, and also the standards by which others will be judged. You feel like they too often act as if they are your boss and you are getting some evaluation and they will decide if you are "measuring up". That's a bit of sarcasm but also alot of truth. D) They don't seem to give a Damn, about anything that frustrates or aggravates you. They blow it off (repeatedly!) with "That's LIFE", as if, you should just suck it up and shut up.....until....it happens to THEM. Then, they get P*ssed and gripe like a 6 yr old. Its the HYPOCRISY that bothers me. E) they keep trying to be IN CHARGE in places and situations where they clearly aren't. Example: SINCE WHEN do I need "permission" to play music in my own car just because they are riding with me? Its MY car, they are my "turf" and NO ONE forced them to ride with me. But they try to tell me what I can and cant do, or when and where. F) Talking about anything "speculative" or uncertain seems to really annoy them. (It could be Religion, Psychology, Science Fiction and who knows what else?). So you happen to be talking about something "subjective". So what? "What does your gut say? What is your "most likely"best-guess?" But they are very reluctant to give any opinion here or may quickly say it's "pointless" to talk about because we dont know. God forbid that "kicking around ideas" might actually be fun . . . G) The Past. Bring up some Rock song from 30 yrs ago. or talk about something way back in high school and they may shake their head like you're the crazy one or they say: that was a long time ago. So what? Are all of their old memories bad ones? Whats up with this, and "F" above? So thats it. A big jumbled mess. But by far, the near-constant work & busyness, and the trying to be in charge, and the invalidation are the big things. All this may not be any particular recognized "disorder". (shrug). Is it Narcissism plus something else? I don't know. Nonetheless, its a royal pain-in-the-A** to keep dealing with. Any thoughts? Anyone . . .

    What do you think of this? I say, that all people, get to be totally-in-charge, in 3 places on this earth. Those 3 places are: 1. IN your house 2. ON your property 3. IN your own car/truck/vehicle . . . . .and with that in mind, imagine this everyday situation and Boundaries: A family member is riding with you in *your* car and you have the radio or a music CD on while driving. Its music you really like, but they say the music sucks and to turn it off. How do you (or anyone reading this) feel about this conversation? Here is what I feel they would be likely to say, and my responses: Them: Gawd, that music sucks. Shut it off. Me: I like it and this is my car. Them: But I'm a "captive audience". Me: #1--NO ONE forced you to ride with me. And its my car. Would you tell me what TV channel to have on if you were in my house? Them: Well, iiiii wouldn't do things like that. I'd shut if off it you were in my car." Me: Maybe. But you would be within your rights either way. But even aside from that: Your-choices-dont-obligate-me! Them: well, you could have a little more consideration. Me: IIII could? 2 replies: #1. who is on who's "turf" here? When iiii'm the passenger, or a visitor at someone else's place, I do things *their* way. They, or you, can show "consideration" and respect by doing the same for me. and #2: What would I do if you weren't even here? I'd enjoy this same music. Nothing is different. Same behavior. And why should I diminish my enjoyment any less, or inhibit myself just because you are here? Them: That sounds selfish. 15 minutes without your music wouldn't kill you. Me: And 15 minutes of hearing it won't kill you, either. I am within my rights if its in my house, on my property or in my car. Just like you are. Them: Gawd, I hate driving with you. Me: I can stop the car. You are free to go. No one ever forced you at all. Comment: There! That should cover the likely objections and arguments. One more thing---suppose i *did* give them their way on this bit with the radio. How soon would it be before they found 6 other ways and situations for me (or you) to be more "considerate" ? You get to be "courteous" but they will never admit to being "manipulative", will they? I didn't think so. It's an ongoing battle but we usually feel better when we stand up for our rights . Do you disagree with this? If so, why? I feel we are "within the rights of our own legitimate boundaries" here. Any thoughts?

    So! We know how to set boundaries. We have a good feel for who is, and who isn't "good for us". And then-- you meet someone new. Will the two of you become good friends? Here is a list you can use to avoid a big fat batch of aggravation. Watch for these things, especially early on. Go through this list and then I ask you: Do you think that this list is "going too far?" Here goes: 1. Call--before you come over un-announced. Show up on time. 2. Don’t block my car in the driveway 3. When you come in, dont walk in with a half-eaten Burger and fries and the sack they were in and continue at my place. I didn’t invite you over to dump your garbage here. 4. When you call and I tell you to come on over, I meant just you, NOT also yer buddy from work, kids in diapers or your dog. 5. You came over to visit me. Therefore, leave your cell phone in your car. I dont want you to no sooner walk in and have your phone go off and listen to you yack for 20 minutes with someone at your work or while you catch up with someone you havent spoke to in 6 months while I sit there completely uninvolved. 6. No smoking. 7. Dont ask me to lend you money. I wont, either. 8. Don’t bring over some “bunch of papers” and ask me to help you fill them out. 9. No, you cant borrow my laptop, tablet, phone or computer. BUY your own. 10. Don’t bring over any “Gifts” (translation: junk items you no longer want. I dont want them either.) 11. Dont bring over any small appliances or gadgets and want me to repair/fix them. 12. Don't come over and give me some sales-pitch or try to get me to JOIN anything!, or sign up for anything. Or buy anything.

    I found out that the narc that I was talked into moving into his house has used me as his justification to being a model citizen made me out to be homeless and having mental health issues to his neighbors. Some have been taken in by his facades and I’m realizing that I’m not the only one being abused but so are they. The second narc in my life has used a smear campaign on me at where I go skiing. I’m continuing to be myself regardless

      Mine did the same, I lived a thousand miles away from him and he came and got me and I moved into his house, I had my own business and even gave that up to be with him, gave everything I owned away because he said he would buy me all new stuff when we got home, well I get to his place and shit he literally didn't have anything but a couch and a dirty mattress he got from the side of a curb on the street, And this man walks around letting his friends think i was on welfare and didn't have nothing... And thirteen years later and not one promise he gave me ever came about, he also drinks from the time he wakes up untill he decides to go to bed after all the booze is gone for that day, I don't drink by the way, all these men do is Lie, Lie, and lie some more

      @@sarahwaters10sw thank you for sharing me your story. I have many stories and situations that I have seen and went through ever since I got involved with a narcissist. Not just one but more than three. Even though I know I’m going to need help when I get out of his house the whole experience has been a total eye opener. I’ve been married 4 times and never went through something so traumatic as this. I had to put a restraining order on my second husband. I’ve been internalizing and I need to dive deeper into who I am and just what the hell I’m doing to myself. I was out of any intimacy relationships for 16 years on purpose and then all this other shit happened. My greatest loss is my little dog and cats and I’m going through a very rough grieving process. Sharing with others is important so that we can validate for each other what we have gone through and it’s not just our imagination. I’ve gone through the flying monkeys and gang stalkers through this whole situation and with the education of UA-cam and more the empowerment is enormous. Hugs 🤗 and love ❤️ coming your way 😊

    Setting boundaries over your life is not a toxic trait. Jesus said Whoever does Gods will is my mother and brother A man’s enemies is member of household Cutting people is not toxic The codependent people pleaser is a Spiritual issue that Jesus got me free from If I was a people pleaser I would not be a servant of Christ You can not control others

    I appreciate this insight; unfortunately, I grew up with an older sister who definitely met these criteria. My father was also a narcissist, but more prone to manipulation than being antagonistic. Not surprisingly, I have been in professional mental health treatment for years, and no longer have contact with my most toxic relatives.
