      If you choose to never forgive… they get to continue to control you. Don’t give them that.
      Move on, go no contact, protect your future and present peace but, forgive bc without that component, you’re as unwell as they.

    My narcissistic husband doesn’t often have an accusing tone… he doesn’t “seem” upset by his tone. YET, everything she just enacted will still come out… within the 15 mins of monologue (in which I’m not supposed to get bored with, interrupt or disagree with) is delivered.
    Not all narcissists sound like they’re going off. They mostly say the same thing but, many can remain in “control” of an emotional tone.
    Don’t let this woman’s example fool you into thinking you have to have someone sound like they are gaslighting you aggressively. Many do so with a demeanor that simply suggests you are out of your mind, out of control, out of touch and lucky for you… the narcissist is there to explain and keep the calmness of your relationship.

    What my mom attacks me for is NOT bringing an issue up, haha.
    She used to be very emotionally abusive, but after I've moved out for a year, with no intention of coming back, she really got her crap together. Especially after we had a long talk. I'm still emotionally pretty fucked up, but it often makes me wanna cry happy tears how much she's changed for us kids.
    ..now the next step is still to convince her to go to therapy

      I unfortunately realized this in the workplace, when I had a supervisor that knit-picked at me, scolded me for making the smallest mistake (such as not pulling my hand away quick enough, after placing an item on the counter I. front of the customer, for them to grab it)). I was so careful to not hand it directly to the customer, got lectured for not pulling my hand away from the counter quickly (after placing the item on the counter (because of Covid)), and then the assistant manager comes along a few minutes later and hands a loaf of bread directly into the customer's hands. And yes, I have definitely learned to never confront anybody who is bullying me, because they somehow suddenly get treated like the victim, from all of their friends. I could never figure out how people could become so mindless as to think about whether or not the bully was the one being a bully, and that the victim was actually the victim.

    why do I feel so guilty for wanting to get away from my narcissisticly abusive husband, who I and everyone knows is bad and consistently abusive... why do I feel so guilt bound when I try leave him?
    I have also been working with therapist to come out of freeze response in my nervous system

      ​@@Da_bear-ij9gm ok, i'll give you an example, my wife kicked me awake early one saturday morning and asked me "are you going to mow the effing lawn today or not", the grass was still wet with the automatic sprinklers going at 7am, i told her if she wanted it mowed that bad she could go do it herself. i had already planned to mow the lawn that day after the grass dried but with that kind of attitude i felt she needed to learn you can't mow wet grass. now as for being overly sensitive, nope, in her statement asking about the rubbish was fine, it's the "what was the deal" on the end that was unnecessary and gaslighting which puts a person on the defensive. just pointing out that you can't call someone out for gaslighting when you make statements to gaslight or belittle them as well.
