I was married 41 years. The last 20 years were hard, the last 10 were he'll. I went to counseling with my pastor several years ago and came away feeling like I wasn't being a supportive wife. I prayed and prayed he'd change and that I would be more patient with him. He'd jump and shout in church and act all righteous, but 10 minutes down the road after church he'd be cussing and yelling and mad about who knows what. I heard the Lord tell me to take my hands off of him. I'd been his social, mental and moral compassion for all of our marriage. When I finally obeyed and quit covering for him, he started falling apart. I gave him every opportunity to be the man I hoped he'd be, but he never changed. I regret staying 41years but divorce was final last spring. I have peace now and my health is improving.
I am so proud of you. I too have been married, but only 30 years, to the same type of man. No cussing, at times but more mental manipulation and control. I am in process of leaving as well but yes push back from church. I love God sooooo much and I know God hates divorce, but he also hates abuse.
😢 thank you you have literally changed my life.I'm going through the hard parts right now.Still in it after 32 years, I understand exactly how she feels. Don't know what's up or down. Trying to get my escape plan together, I tell you. It looks like a textbook enough is enough. I went through it about 5 times with marker's pencils and everything else. Looking at different attorneys right now. Getting what money I can together as well as support system. Trying to get my mind right
I would pray for clarity and direction in all my decisions in the name of Jesus.
He can help you.
He wants you to call on Him. 💕
I love how David talks about the narc😂
“Everything triggers the idiot “ that made me laugh when he said that in one of his recent videos 😂
Divorcing mine finally. I prayed, begged God to remove him from my life. My narc of 28 years claims he is the victim of my abuse. He has trashed my name (I really don’t care) he has our son believing that the problem is me (that hurts more than anything!) but GOD KNOWS! God has answered my prayers and I can’t wait to finally divorce and be free! As long as I allow my narc to think he is in control, there’s no problem. He left me with our new house, mortgage, and said “oh well, get a job, it ain’t my problem. Sucks to be you. You should’ve been a nicer person and treated me better.” AND HE HAS GASLIT HIMSELF INTO BELIEVING THIS! HE is the victim! LoL! Wwwwwwhat?? So typical. So predictable. So textbook narc.
I've got the joy.I am escaping the Narc
Exactly that all I ever wanted was a family.
Like you see on TV, I've never had it growing up so I promised myself. I would have it when I started my life thirty years later, it's heartbreaking, and that's an understatement
Be kind to yourself ….
Healing takes time

Married 20 years, eyes opened to what narcissism is for about 1 year. Out of the fog about 6 months. Still living (or slowly dying)in the abuse. Scared to leave. I know he’ll try to take my kids. They are my everything and he knows it. He will do anything to destroy me. And I’m scared. I’m scared staying, I’m scared to leave. He will not rest until I am dead. He suggested I commit suicide. He said that way it will prove I am crazy and he is not. At times I’m scared for my life. Some days I feel strong, others I can barely crawl out of bed even though I work full time. These demons should be in jail.
I just don’t see the point in leaving bc if you have kids together you will never really truly be free of them.
I feel hopeless. I wish Dr Clarke could come to my house and physically just take care of everything for me, just carry me out of this nightmare. My dad passed away when I was young… and this demon knows I don’t have anyone to protect me. And when I am barely clinging to life… how am I supposed to be strong enough to fight? I’ve read the books, I thought I had a strong faith. I’m weak. How can you leave if you’re weak and paralyzed with fear? I strongly feel I need someone to physically help me. Like carry me away and protect me and my children. I pray for that. ❤
There is help out there. It's not always great, but it's there. Talk to someone who deals with domestic violence. Call the national hotline. See if you can get a protection order. If you have any evidence of his abuse, it'll be helpful. The hotline can also help with places that offer transitional housing or shelters. Start there. You need a plan to leave. Progress isn't linear. Some days will be better than others. I am praying for you.
You will get through this put your faith in God pray never stop praying this demonic entity cannot stand the word of God in the home. And when he's not there get some olive oil in anoint your home that's what I did. I too work full-time I too pay everything I too am married to a narcissist please please please please please please don't take your eyes off of God he sees everything believe me he will give you peace in the midst of all this chaos I too wanted to die. I too wanted to just end it all but I knew it would take me away from God and that's what Satan wants so rebuke these demonic spirits and start living start getting stronger in Christ and allow the holy spirit that is in you that is power and you will see yourself overcome this my husband had two children when I married him and I did not know what type of man he was until 2 years into our marriage I realized this was not normal but I couldn't leave because I was raising those kids because the mom left and later came back and wanted visitation now I know why she left she wasn't crazy she was trying to heal and I didn't see that but I see it now.please be strong and I will keep you in my prayers I will not forget you I am going to pray for a hedge of protection around you remember Genesis 15:16 God is our Shield he told Abraham not to be afraid for he was his shield claim that shield around you and watch the enemy flee
Might I ask Who told you that you were weak? Who says that you have no protection? I know it may seem scary now, but there is help available and I believe in YOU. I know, I’m just a stranger on the internet, but for what’s it’s worth I have hope in you and for your situation to improve. As a word of encouragement, I want you to know that there is still hope for you to create the life you want. From someone who’s walked this path, it is much easier said than done, but the freedom you achieve once on the other side is so liberating. I’m 1 year post leaving my abuser with almost nothing to my name and I am flourishing. You can do this!
Iowa Mom, You are braver than you feel and stronger than you think.
Jesus will help you EVERY step of the way.
But we must ASK. 💕
P.S. The Bible says take one day at a time because today has enough trouble of its own.
I know exactly what she’s talking about. Receiving divorced but still trying to find internal peace.
Thanks, Dr. Clarke.
I was married to a narcissist, I divorced my narcissist still acts as if he is still entitled to my time
Lemme tell you. 0:32 you will-cancer, sepsis ,recurrences, stoma MRSA hernia ….and when you’re weakest he is so much worse.
Divorcing him after 44yrs 😢😢😢
Sorry to hear you had to endure the narc for that long makes me feel abit better wasting 12 years (kicking myself )
Yes, I stayed 36 years , met him when I was 16, and I'm out now he was awful, turned the children against me, but I'm out I have to find myself.
You’ve come a long way and are taking steps to divorce him; that’s what counts. For what is worth I’m proud of you.
@@faymoosa5064 you took the time you needed, meaning the, strength, to leave. I am 30 years and am slowly reaching my strength to leave. In just the last few months I have seen what it will look like without him. It's LIFE!!! Only through God was I able to see this.
I am so proud of you!! May you see the Sun shine everyday now in your life
