    One of the things about narcissism is that they abuse in cycles. You could be ok with them in one cycle and then the next cycle they lower the boom on you. If you wait on their change you may find it is short lived and cyclical. So basically they’re pretending. Pray for discernment and guidance.

      Wish I had known about this years ago...we have been married 36 years and are now separated due to (what I discovered) is a long history of out of control p@rn addiction that has culminated in physical affairs. Also, I have learned about the 'Cycle of Abuse' and that my kids and I have been facing verbal, emotional, financial and other forms of abuse. It's really important for people to fully understand these types of people have such a traumatic effect on others.

    This captivating video triggers a flood of painful memories from the end of my 6-year relationship just three months ago. The woman I loved with all my heart chose to walk away, leaving me grappling with an insurmountable sense of loss. Despite my relentless efforts to salvage what we had, I'm left feeling disillusioned and unable to imagine a future without her. Despite my attempts to move on, I'm drawn to express my deep-seated longing for her here.

      The struggle to release someone dear to your heart is undeniably arduous. I empathize, having experienced a similar circumstance when my 8 year relationship concluded. Refusing to accept defeat, I pursued every conceivable avenue to reclaim his affection. Eventually, I sought the assistance of a spiritual counselor, whose wisdom and intervention played a pivotal role in reuniting us.

      @charlesdavid-p1y, I truly empathize with you. My NPD ex-husband nearly broke me. Even after 17 years of marriage and more frequent abuse, I still loved my husband but pursued a divorce to survive. Also, he already moved on to new supply(girlfriend). A therapist that I saw for a year prior to this definitely set me on a path to empowerment. It sounds as if you have been discarded. If your partner has NPD, it could be a blessing, even if you want her back. Did you have a healthy relationship? I think you would benefit greatly seeing a good therapist. I wouldn't expect that the goal would necessarily to be reunited, though. I wish you well.

      And when you want to see them the truth about an abusive or cruel situation, they and the flying monkeys say, that they don't want to hear it. The start screaming and shouting like lalalala like a clown, not to hear what you say and then say: get it, I am not interested to listen. If you feel bad, If you suffer I don't care.

    You lose your self identity. Your very foundation of who you are. The confusion and self doubt is overwhelming and the pain devastates you to your soul. See, most people that get into narcissist relationships are very caring and loving people. A lot of times they have very prestigious positions, are nice looking, have money, are very intelligent….something that the narcissist desires to have or be seen with. You go into the relationship having no clue that you are being set up by a con artist, a psychotic person which in reality despises you. They only want what you have to offer, not you. So they systematically set out to take what they want and dump the human soul that would have gladly given it to them. Leaving you devastated. As the narcissist first floods you with attention and unbelievable love bombing they are secretly disarming your defenses.
    Then once in they are like termites chewing away your very foundation, all your boundaries, self worth, love, compassion, career, social standing, family, money, whatever it is they were attracted to you to begin with. Secretly destroying every emotion and self respect you had. Then without you even knowing it everything collapses. And like the insects they are they move on to destroy someone else’s foundation. You have been lied to, taken advantage of gaslighted, humiliated and feel lower than you ever have in your life. You have been through so much cognitive dissonance you question everything, mostly yourself. You blame yourself at the same time the narcissist is blaming you.
    You have no idea who you are or have become. You no longer see the loving, successful person you once were. You are deeply traumatized without even knowing it. It takes time and self discovery to realize that the loving, successful person you once were, is still within you. The good news is that in reality the only thing that changed within you is you now see evil, you have been through hell and survived. Now you are on a mission, to not only be with and around non-toxic people, but to love and take care of yourself. You now know who you are: a wonderful, caring, sweet soul. Your spirit grows and flourishes like never before.

    Hi Shaneen, everyone. I was tormented by my vows, "For better or for worse - till death do us part...". I saw no way out. Insanity indefinitely ....
    Until God blessed me with her words to me, "Look at me! It's important you understand! I'm leaving you, ass hole, since you don't have the guts!"
    That was my get-out-of-jail FREE card. But it was far from free. It cost me nearly everything it took me a life time to acquire. The chaos, drama, and turmoil lasted another year and a half - sheer hell!
    But now the dust is nearly settled, God has provided me all that I need (and then some), and there is peace within these walls. Contentment and peace, through Christ.
    Happy Tuesday!

    Shaneen, your content is such a blessing and I’m so grateful you can apply biblical perspective to shine light on God’s word and narcissistic abuse. I escaped an 18 year marriage thinking he would stop the infidelity and it only got worse. Walking away from my marriage after years of praying was the hardest thing to do. I would be the one constantly initiating counseling from the church and prayers when all it did was got worse as the years passed by.
    Having to sell my house, split assets and divorce my husband made me feel guilty as if I were breaking up our family because we have a teenage son. It was the hardest thing to do and was extremely painful. But I knew I had to get out of this abusive marriage because the narcissist would continue to exploit my forgiveness. I needed to heal.
    Been watching your videos since 2019 and you gave me the courage to leave especially because I know that it’s not Gods will for us to stay in abusive marriages especially when there is continuous adultery. My prayers did not get answered for my husband to change as I saw the same fruit but when I asked God if I could leave the marriage after praying and fasting I felt a huge relief and peace to walk away. God knows the deep roots of sin people carry and the narcissist must submit their will to God and ask God to change them.
    Divorced 2 years now and living in a rental. It’s been quite the road to recovery in allowing the Lord to heal my heart as I study the Bible and pray everyday. I feel so much better and stress is gone. I exercise and go for long walks. Making new friends and healing each day. My son is thriving and graduating highschool this year. The narcissist does not speak to me anymore. He cut me off and only texts our son. It hurt at first because I hoped we could coparent but I know it’s Gods way of protecting me from not getting sucked back in to the cycle of abuse and triangulation with his other supply of women.
    God bless you dear lady and I’m so happy for this channel that helps us find courage and healing.

    I was just like "Sarah." Seventeen years of trying to love & honor my husband--being patient, gentle, and kind (made possible ONLY by the power of the Holy Spirit working through me!) and praying for him to grow into the man of God I *thought* he wanted to be. I didn't know what a narcissist was at the time. All I knew was that instead of getting better, he got worse. One day in a prayer of frustration I finally surrendered him and our marriage over to God COMPLETELY, and God's response was to remove the "hedge of protection" and immediately turn him over to Satan. (I knew there was such a thing as demons from the Bible, but I'd never "met" any until that week!) It was a terrifying experience, but the events that unfolded during that time caused me to flee to safety & remain separated, and I ultimately obtained a (biblically justified) divorce and freedom from further abuse. I have no doubt that it was God orchestrating it all.

    Free will choice. The more we choose evil self idolatry and and wanting to be idolised or like God, the more seared our conscience & hardened our hearts become. And then God gives us over to our delusions depravity. 2Thess:11-12, Romans 1:18-32 At this point unless by Gods grace there's no hope for the narcissist. In many ways it brought freedom to know I wasn't responsible for influencing them to change but for my life and choices to God.

Even though it's all for nothing, I've done everything I can to get him back, and I couldn't imagine my existence without him. I've tried everything to stop thinking about him, but I still can't help but miss him and think about him often. I don't know why I am saying this here.

We were warned from ancient times of imposters deceived and wolves in sheep's clothing. It has helped me over the years to believe what God says in the Bible about what righteousness looks like,.. it is!, And what wickedness looks like,.. it is.

    On the flip side, just like the seed of wickedness, the seed of righteousness also grows and develops strong root systems and one day becomes a giant strong tall tree! Roots of faith, truth, integrity, grace mercy love, DISCERNMENT (!that’s a big one!) peace, all the fruits of the spirit are manifested; love, joy, peace etc. Think of all the opposites of all these attributes and I think that’s probably a pretty clear picture of what they become.

      @ NPDs quite literally equate feeling in control, perceived dominance over whoever as "love" and anything less as a big problem.
      Not feeling in control causes fear in them, which initially manifests as anxiety, then anger, bitterness, resentment, and ultimate hate/rage.

      @ "Team healthy" doesn't even remotely think about trying to control another grown ass adult, nor does the idea even cross our mind.

    As always you did an awesome job in this video. I would like to see videos on parental alienation that has happened over long periods of time and how GOD can heal it. I divorced a toxic narcissist many years ago. And all four of my sons, and over time two of my grand daughters and two of my daughter in laws got pulled out of my life.

    I differ in opinion. Money does not make someone this or that. No. Money reveals what they really are and what they have hidden from you. People can do great things with money. Some of them do.

      I raised 75k and Claudia Ann Brandon is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Claudia A Brandon is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

    *They do get worse however Narcissists still **_"turn"_** at different rates. At different settings. And at different speeds.*
    *I used to raise Tadpoles into Bull Frogs when I was a kid. And even though they all came from the same batch of eggs. And all looked the same. Each 1 made the big change and "morphed" into Bullfrog's and in turn got released down at the local creek bank at their own individual pace and time. In more ways than 1 Narcissists are like those croaking toads.*
