    YES ABSOLUTELY!!! I never once wanted him back once he moved out, however, the grief of facing the loss of all that I’d hoped and dreamed for our future was huge. Toxic is no longer attractive, it makes me sick. Thanks for the great video.

    Today in particular has been a struggle against all of my grief so once again Caroline you’re video felt like a god send. There’s much shame and anger connected to my grief and you help me put it all in perspective. More importantly you provide me with some sense of calm and possibility of hope… hope that I can heal, hope that I can live again, hope that I might not always be this consumed by grief, despair, loneliness, and fear. You are my miracle 💕

    I'm literally feeling more and more nervous listening to this. Hitting home. I've been having a conversation with myself about exactly this for the last week or so, childhood wounds that carried over into adulthood and got me into a relationship with a narcissist.. thank God I'm out of it but the damage is done. Glad to have found this channel, makes sense of my chaos

    I had to move to a new home and my grown up kids left the nest at the same time. I feel the loss of our home and family life. I think divorce was my best decision and my children agree with me. But the loss that I feel is the 22 years that could have been - a normal, secure, fun family life. Instead of the fearful, stressful, insecure family life. I also regret not leaving earlier but I couldn't. Lots of loss feelings. Thank you for the video!

    I stayed 22 years too long with a narcissist. Unfortunately I brought my two vulnerable sons in to that. They grew up steepped in narcissistic abuse. THAT hime was broken. Before that relationship, as a single parent, my sons and I had good relationships.

    I don’t have children with my ex-boyfriend, but I do have two grown daughters. He was a lot younger than me and I knew him for seven years. My daughters didn’t like him so it wouldn’t have worked but I loved him so much and still do. He broke my heart. I am so happy I found Caroline.

    You are an inspiration and have made me realise nobody goes from young beautiful woman to ugly old woman at 40, there's actually a lovely woman stage where we are voluptuous beautiful adult women. I lost the feelings that very thin was the only attractive I could be,then I looked at other women and noticed that Im a size 16 blonde haired blue eyed woman like you.you brought reality to the self esteem of being alone after narcissistic abandonment and abuse kidnap,making the new partner jealous to attack and hate me for no reason ugh,does it sound familiar..I don't mean to be shallow but I felt ugly until I realised how beautiful women can be in their early 40s. The aftereffects of rejection really made me feel worthless and ugly. I gave myself a makeover and even when I looked really pretty from nails to hair to makeup,I still didn't feel good enough. Plenty of creepy men tried to date, but the sex was introduced and rejected in the first dates, I refused to take a partner to stop the smear of being this jealous ex. I was running as hard as I could in the opposite direction because I was watching him and my son ,witness me being emotionally destroyed,put in jail for interrogations for STALKING! With no evidence ,bad mother, I was a partying begging junkie,all the worst but everything I would die rather than be. It's ridiculous actually as if you looked at me,spoke to me, visited my house as the police did for no reason,it was obvious over exaggerations but it cut to the 💓. He was my best friend,I was trying to save him from my struggle with prescription drugs and the insomnia and effects I didn't want them to see. I felt incurable with no support but all I needed was someone to believe in me and fight through the withdrawal,take me out walks,spend time with me. Instead I didn't ask for that I even deprived myself of comfort with him sexually,as I think it is comfort. He left for another amicably as I thought. I didn't treat him badly when he took all his computer equipment and technology. I didn't want him to see me like that and then he went evil crazy overnight. He had this red haired average girl with 5kids who I realise now was desperately needing help herself,she should have tried to make the marriage that belonged to her work but she has had karma whether she recognizes it or not. Anyway it's not the victim's fault it's the opportunistic narcissist. I couldn't believe my best friend and lover of 12 years had betrayed me to a stranger to our family. The new family was rougher than mine and more ruthless,very cunning and absolutely out of my league to fight with. I'm kind by nature and wouldn't cause trouble for anyone. Again and again if I even spoke I was having police sent to me despite I had no criminal record,all this invited in by my then husband. I had tons of mentionable things and evidence but as a sheep is silent before the slaughter,so I was silent when it came to his major human rights abuses under temporary leave to remain in britain. I didn't see my son for six years and he appeared one week after this birthday to say he forgave ME. I said and meant, I was sorry for attacking him so ridiculously as his new woman recorded the incident. It made me look like the unstable monster he spoke of. I was put in jail where they watched from the gallery ok sighing at my folly. I'll never get over mys self loathing at being so stupid,I'm no ninja but what will you do if someone says you will never see your son again. He meant it.
    I never saw him for six years our relationship is fragmented but still heart strong. I was close to my son but he was more afraid of his dad.
    Everybody turned against me,social work,police,women's aid were useless, lawyers were terrible. My son became disrespectful and still is at times,calling me junkie etc. There is nobody kinder or of better character than some people who end up addicted to prescription drugs, high empathy and honest as anyone can be. That was the last as I stopped the communication with the gaslighting,I knew I wasn't all to blame but the beat went on.,...this is real narc abuse. Not a brief fling easily ghosted,oh no , but he treated me like that. As if 12 years of development,growing up together and experience never mattered.
    The saddest thing ever as he watched me degraded by this woman and laughed alongside,called police with her and married her with my brother and son betraying me as well. My brother took the photographs. I had a white dress ,it was sold to his people in London for 50pounds, the new partner had the works. So if they want to really really hurt me and find something to laugh for, tho ahead laugh. How easy it is to take candy from a baby, I gave no resistance and the photos were plastered on line. 6xmases no access,and one of those Christmases they were getting married as I sat alone in my house with my family gone.
    The love of a narcissistic family,I have no family. Not the first and not the one I married or even my son who defends his new family. I don't exist.a beautiful woman with no family.ill find another,I'm ready but I'll be choosy
    I'm not throwaway garbage and I can still be a pretty woman even when I don't feel it. Who would after this?

      I have no family either. Dating has become mating. Men only want us while our legs are open. Not all but many. Women are so loose nowadays... they are doing males after the first conversation. Which makes these same males expect all of us to behave in such a degrading manner. And for those of us who don't act like that, we get blown completely off. I'm on a waiting list to hopefully get a puppy. Unlike humans they don't use you and discard you, they can freely give and receive love.

      He made me leave today, kicked me out after 7 years. Here I am all alone and he has my chihuahua so I am really alone. He hurts me with lies and cheating and I am begging him not to leave me. I called my Dr, I am at the lowest low and i know he must be with his new supply. I may get a cat for emotional support. I really am so alone.

      @@nicole988 I’m so sorry to hear that you are suffering from his abuse! It is not your fault that he is incapable of love!! You deserve so much better! And I think getting a cat is an amazing idea!The cats in my life are what make me want to live and love despite all the abuse I’ve experienced! Unfortunately I’ve moved back in with my cheating husband because it is very challenging at my parents house.. But I’m very detached for the most part just because it hurts too much to feel.

    How do parents suffering with parental alienation recover from grief when every day without children is another day lost, to grieve? There is no peace when you are helpless to protect your children or know if they are safe. How do you heal from ongoing trama?

      I know exactly how you feel. You have to let go. If you don't it's burn out and nervous breakdown. I did it. I lost my son at 12, forget remorse and forget empathy they are emotionally retarded and extremely dangerous. Your child will work it out like we did,there's nothing but fake love and cruelty.
