      Both true. What if you were to adopt? Will the child suffer because of your coping etc. Or another way to "bypass"? However hard it is remain calm and take your time. You deserve the best and so does your child(ren) 💗

    Professor thank you. I have never come across a clearer explanation of this "mental poisoning". Many of the things my sibling tried to explain to me, are clearly explained here. My sibling was a victim of narcissistic abuse, she was driven insane and passed away recently. I survived the trauma from the oldest siblings evil machinations, and at this late stage in life I am fighting to build boundaries and keep the Narcissist and the enablers out of my life.

      Is good to do for awhile, so you can get very clear about what you want and what you wish to represent. Then pick some different venues in which to meet new people, venues that support your own creativity and values. Then be prepare to be tested; I have found the cosmos continues to send tests in the form of people and situations, until one is quite clear in their strength and clarity, to not waste time and energy on those who would otherwise do control or vampirism.

      My narc relationship led to me realizing that my parents, too, were narcs. And I had to cut my remaining parent out. Realizing I was scapegoated. Realizing the religion I was raised in warped my brain so severely. Also realizing my best friend and boss were, too. Because that is what I learned to allow in my life. That was all I allowed in my life.
      I have new friends, new boundaries. Old friends adapted to my new boundaries and those who didn't got booted. But the whole process was so exhausting; my soul is spent.
      Some days I just feel so alone it's unbearable. Plus, there is something very lonely about being close after you have been enmeshed. Because that high of being one entity operating as one... I swear, it's like a drug. And being sober is healthier and I will get used to it. But I'm not yet.
      I will be lonely with you today. We can be lonely together. We can share the vibration of loneliness as one lmao. Hive mind with me, the healthy way this time lmao

    Video Request: What happens when the survivor reflects the projections back onto the narcissist with documentation before the same audience of attorneys and therapists? I’m in the middle of a divorce and my husband, in response to me setting boundaries has essentially accused me via email of child abuse, neglect, malnutrition, improper supervision, keeping my child in a foul smelling hoarded home surrounded by animal waste, parental alienation and the list goes on. As I put together my response with documentation, (photos, emails, screenshots of text messages) it is clear that his accusations are actually a reflection of his environment, parenting, and behaviors. Normally I would ignore this, but I must fight for my daughter. While I am grateful for the opportunity to expose him, I am concerned about the narcissistically rageful response. I am also grateful for you. I wish more therapists and attorneys had you knowledge.

    Very nice, Sam. It has occurred to me that submissiveness is a pathology whereas a dominant has a psychopathology. When the dominant sees behaviours that are loving or protective they are misperceived by him as weakness or stupidity, the dominant steers his submissive away from the potential leader of his submissive to freedom leading to all the manipulations.

    Tks Prof., my narcissist wife tried to impose the projective identification technique by explicitly saying I’m weak on numerous occasions. On each occasion, I remained indifferent and without any emotional response. I can sense the injury she sustained as I’m adamant not to show any reaction since I’ve already have the knowledge that she is baiting me for a negative weapon to be used later.
    She died because of brain cancer last june, but I could feel the narcissistic collapse about 6 months earlier.

    A very dark world - astoundingly lost confused and messed up. I am one of those withdrawn people. Looking at this world with a big frown on my face. But I do believe it is possible to engage in healthy relationships though. I do also premote self development. Self development to all, the psychopath and the narcissist, the normal person and the otherwise sick person. Everyone has something to be ashamed of and stop with. Through will power anyone can change for the better through choices.

    Sam, vengeance and the act of forcing the victim to "feel" what the narc is feeling is a type of projection? For example, if I say that I'm going to do something with a friend, my ex gf would do the SAME THING (do something with a friend) just to makes me "feel" what she is feeling, as a vengeance. I heard that in love bombing the narc wants the victim to feel what he is feeling too (the obsession).
