    I had both parents telling me I was many things I was not, that I felt things I did not, negative qualities of all kinds, projections, happened my whole life. I became an artist, it saved me, I was able to express myself. Then married a Narcissist (just like my mother) :-(
    My parents, after many years of abuse took my son from me using the same gaslighting strategies with the rest of the family, together with my ex husband. My therapist says I was fighting a gang, a mafia, and it was really the case. It is just a miracle that I survived it all and got the chance to built a new life in another country. But I still have the dream of having my son back. He knows I am not what my parents say, he knows his father is a narcissist, but things are still stuck in a controlling game including money, status, political power. I feel good living a life I "created" here, no one treats me this way here. But deep inside I still have many wounds. YOur videos are helping me a lot. Thank you, Ross

      It’s called gangstalking. Research about gang stalking. Learn about the scale of Dr. David Hawkins of emotions versus frequencies. He passed away but his videos are still on the UA-cam.

    I’m 72 and just fully realized that my upbringing has made it impossible for me to become truly attached to anyone except my cats. It’s not that I don’t care about people, but I can take or leave them. I’ve never actually understood loneliness. I’m an extrovert so I enjoy people if they’re around, but if not, I have so many interests I’m never bored. I’m the only person I know who had no negative feelings about being unable to see people during Covid. I didn’t enjoy not being able to go wherever I wanted but being with people....I was like “whatever. “

    Tbank you Ross Rosenberg for all you free information on youtube. I have studied you videos and it helped me so much. My father was a narcissist. I know believe that my sister has a narcissistic borline personality disorder and my brother has a narcisistic anti social personality disorder. My oldest brother has scizofrenia. They are all very creative and talented people which makes it so hard go have to distance myself from them. But I moved for away, 25 years ago, to find my own live adventure and started a carpenterschool for children and adolescents that live in poverty. I was so happy at the art academy to work in art workshops that I wanted to offer this to kids that have so little lportunigies because of their economic situation. I still suffer but at least could built a live around my depressive disorder. You have helped me a lot. Thank you for that

    I have DID. I wish so desperately you could help me. I've been, for several years now researching narcissistic abuse. I understand cerebrally everything you're saying. Your compassion is really coming through. I keep searching for therapists and they keep making things worse. I just can't get the help I need. The more I try, the worse it gets. When I reach out and I'm pushed away it just reinforces the belief I have that I will never be loved. Intellectually I realize this can't be true. But I exist in a million pieces and I can never hold this belief in my mind. I've reached a point of desperation. I don't think I can escape

      I have DID, therapists never really helped me with any of it and it actually has come to really work for me; have you heard of Internal Family Systems theory? Voice Dialogue? The ‘traditional’ therapy approach to DID hasn’t really helped any system to create the internal ecosystem they personally need- working *with* my alters, not against, has transformed my life. Singular identity is a myth.

    I was told over and over and over that I did not know how to communicate with her or her kids. I knew that I was a pretty terrible communicator in general and worked really hard on it for two years. She continued to tell me that nobody understood what I was talking about whenever I would try to bring up an issue. Near the end of the relationship we had a big fight and the next morning her best friend mediated for us and we talked for a couple of hours. At the end of the conversation, I said something about how bad I must still be at communicating if she still couldn't understand me and her friend turned to me and said that she thought I had conveyed everything incredibly clearly and understandably. That changed how I viewed my communication skills on the spot. I now get comments on my communication pretty regularly and I can credit my narcissistic ex with helping to teach me that ability.

    I appreciate your LifeWork in describing normal people vs. the inhuman NPD in so many differing ways. Now it is time to step up to remove these banes on society. My abuser's current source of supply's blood is on my hands if I don't stop him. It is time to step up folks... I wish the woman before me (now missing and presumed dead) had taken steps for incarceration. My life would have been spared. NPD discard=spousal abuse, its as simple as that.

Don't give up. You're coward enemies WILL pay for there crimes. They will not get away with these crimes against humanity. They ALWAYS target the most special of God's children. You have probably seen some of these phycos get sick, or die, or fall one way or another because of God's wrath. You will be rewarded for enduring till the end.

      You have lost SO much. I have too. I felt so angry. I still do. But I've lately come to realize that they have not stolen all of me. I am still here. Not the way I wanted to be. But I am here. And I am proud to be here. Have faith in yourself. One thing I realized is that by being fueled by my anger instead of being the kind person I am at my core - I was letting them continue to steal from me. I was doing their work of destroying myself FOR them. I can't work for them. My energy has to go to myself now. Because I deserve it. I deserve a life where I can feel proud of myself. You deserve that too. If you can let go of them and grab onto yourself, you will take back from them some of what they stole. Wishing you peace 💜

      @kristinmeyer489 i understand. You DO need justice and accountability. And I don't personally believe in karma. Life's not like the movies where bad guys get what's coming to them. But you might have to rethink what justice and accountability looks like. There will be no justice if you take matters into your own hands. You'll end up paying the price. They win again. They destroy you. Don't give yourself to them. They will never take accountability. Neither will the systems that protect them. Accepting that is extremely painful. But when you do, you'll be free. Free to focus on yourself. To focus on other victims. On survivors. To become whole. Justice starts with you and how you take care of yourself despite the pain and abuse you went through. Take the hard road. You will love yourself for it 💜

I did so much research on him to find so many things he did. He is a great liar, gaslight, and love bomb. I read that he stated in a book he left behind that he didn't connect with any women. I feel he is mentally not all there.
