    It's just plain evil. This is truly a spiritual warfare for your very soul which include your mind, emotion and will. Who will win. It's your life on the line and you have to escape . The narcissist is the devil's foot soldier. Remember that.

      Yes. But this turns into huge problem - when we cannot escape.
      Like living in shame culture country where majority of people are toxic and intrusive, mentally ill due to toxic shame making them aggressive.
      If we start to run away or make boundaries against toxic people - we are making them stronger. And we signal to our brain that we are weak and hence toxic people are powerful over us and superior over us.
      It is paradox - but we need to allow toxic people to believe whatever they choose to form in their opinions, and not trying to react to their opinions about us. Instead - we need to make, do, act in life in accordance to our goals, projects, job, inner gps - which may include permanently removing ourselves from toxic people. This is a huge difference than reacting to toxic people.
      Reaction must come from our inner values, not as response to toxic people so that we avoid making them boss over us and control us.
      Looking Glass Self in sociology explains that we will form our identity with people around us. Our job is to switch focus away from toxic people and allow them to wallow in the mud, without trying to engage with them in any kind of meaningful way.

    We become aware of the insanity of such a relationship only when we begin to heal our trauma. That awareness becomes greater when we leave the relationship, for those of us not in co-parenting situations, or set boundaries if we are co-parenting.
    I realized just how many of the ex-partner’s traits I had assumed while in the relationship,AFTER I had healed for a year or so.
    Forgiveness of self is critical for the person we had become, due to the trauma we had experienced.

It was a Saturday morning and all I wanted to do was start a load of laundry after working 15 hours the day before. She began her customary belittling and I just fell to the ground a had a mental breakdown. She had finally broken my spirit. I was dying emotionally as I lay there in hysterics. I eventually mustered up the energy and strength to walk out of the house and never come back. I've been fighting in court ever since to get time with the kids. The ex was very good at parental alienation, which was proven to be true by the court. I can finally see glimpses of my former self as time goes on. I am in a good place now!

    I had all kinds and education was the cure. But you have to continually educate, read and study. This is a healthy practice anyway, so it worked out for me. If you have abuse in your past, don't let grass grow underfoot. Get moving on a solution, you will get there and away from trouble. Don't invite any trouble in with your psychology while your going through your transformative psychological experience to a more healthy state. Being a little selfish in this way is healthy too. My father was orphaned at age 8 and he put our family through some stuff and my mom was a covert narcissist and it was all good and bad mixed up.
    The point is, you can make it out if you clean yourself up and don't invite negativity in. Don't repeat your trauma on another person. If something happened to you, it should never be that for your son or daughter. This is punishing them in the same way. That is sadistic and crazy. You shouldn't procreate.

    Today was the beginning of the healing. I organised his funeral. I gave him a good send off. Nobody would know we were divorced. I cant stop crying. I thought I'd healed but I think I swept it under a carpet to cope.
    I hope I can heal. He was so damaged. I'm grieving for the little damaged child that was abused. I know it will get better

    Lost almost 40 pounds since beginning of March when he flipped on me again for the 784th time. Hair falling out, feeling every emotion every day, etc. Questioning myself over and over again. 12 years of this. Just now finally seeing what has been going on. He has screwed my mind up so much and blames every single bit of it on me. Packing up my kids and I to leave ASAP.

    Absolutely! Just realized that all the emotional illiteracy and abuse and neglect that I grew up with were laying the foundation for me to fall into cluster bee relationships later in life, unknowingly. But I’m putting all the pieces together now from the most active abuse of my NPD/borderline Partner and business partner, to the reactions of my family who have spent their entire lives in denial of reality and scapegoating me for all the family, bullshit and drama, when in fact, I’m the only one that’s even been on the healing journey -for decades! Just mind blown and the wind knocked out of my soul. 14 years of chronic illness +8 years of abuse and having the narc wreck everything that I’m doing in my life and business… Finally had the breakdowns back to back last two summers.

    You can’t change a narcissist and they are wired to fight to the death to stay this way. Narcissists are terrified unauthentic people living as safe and as opportunistic as possible at your expense. They don’t love you, it is a facade. They don’t know how to feel real love

    God Bless everyone who is going through this type of abuse. There's a difference between mental abuse and spiritual warfare. There are spirits in this world and negative energy that mess with your head. And unfortunately you go threw both. So it gets worse. But threw Christ you can get threw it. Talk to a pastor or therapist. The narcissist and really the covert narcissist is tying to break you down . Or just drive you crazy. There's all types of narcissism. Some people just play or joke around. But some are actually trying to harm you. The covert narcissist enjoys it. So it's just best to stay away and leave them in Gods hands.

    It took me a year before I felt half way normal but after 2 yrs I'm still dealing w after effects of my temp. craziness! I lost everything and this was caused by a so called friend who was only at my house for a year. She w in a car wreck and had move in w family. She only was to be staying for a few days, I spent a year waiting for her to move bc I knew she would do something terrible to me if I put her out. She already did horrible things to me but made me look like a horrible crazy person. I felt and started to act crazy and stayed that way for months after she left waiting for the her to pull more shit. Thank you for your videos, it helps to know that I'm not looney, only surviving.

      After Grey Rock I was a bit rattled that the psychonarcc (just like the derivation and definition). They get no NSM 5 Code. No they get a nickname. I was confused as to the discard. I didn't argue but once. Removed myself as much as possible physically and emotionally. Ear buds, favorite music, spiritual growth teaching, playw my Svc dog. Psychology, Philosophy, Theology, Microbiology. Just withdrew when under same roof. Ear buds. Talk to friends. Put a shield around ne as much as I could . Engaged as little as possible. Once out I felt kind-of Shockey. I had seen no human traits of empathy inn7 Mos. None. Believe he was in dwelled by evil. I did as much as I was b4. Cooking whatever w/o being told it smelled like crap. I love to cook. Not walking in eggshells. No path-rages. Just cooking or walking and a nasty remark which had been said w incredible razor-like contempt would float into my mind while doing self care. That was sh!tty. Out of nowhere. But I continued to ask God the Father to nature and heal me. The self condemnation was pretty intense a while. I didn't have or want a boy friend. A platonic friend. Not se>

    Hey 👋. So, I've been following you for a few months now. This is my first comment though. It's inspired by what you were saying about the sexual attraction and maybe how people accept or maybe even seek an abusive partner if they had an abusive parent. I would definitely be here for that. It's something I need to study.
    I've been in an extremely abusive relationship the past few years . I'm out of, or at least safe now. But while trying to learn just WTF happened here, I've learned that it was because I already knew from a family member what narcissism is. I just didn't know the word to call it.. so when my narc man and I got together, it just felt like home, and I understood him on a level I had never known. You see, I was already damaged. I was already accustomed to a certain way of things, so I didn't recognize it wasn't unusual.
    But then, my narc is not just a narc. He is evil. He is very dangerous. He is a sadist. It is just really, really bad.
    I don't want to ever, ever, ever, experience something like this again. But also, I don't want to bring all this into a new relationship. Honestly though, I don't want to be bored with a partner or somehow in my sick mind, judge a new guy as not as hot as the narcissist.
    I'm sorry, that's real long. I'm screaming in my head. I don't think I'll be ok emotionally again.

    It is fucking criminal & they need to be locked up forever. Mental abuse may not be "shown" to other people, but, that does not mean that the abuse is not happening. Also, mental abuse does effect you physically too. It is physical abuse even if they are not physically hitting you.

    Yes, never experienced depression and disregulation this severe, so bad I get up in the morning having not slept more than 1/2 the night looking forward to going to bed again, knowing I have to wait and occupy myself for 16 hours until then. I'm in emotional agony most of the day with intermittant extremes of lethargy or manic conversation if someone happens to cross my path. I watch videos just for maintaining sanity to distract me from the terror I feel with these evil people abidng in my house and holding it hostage. The videos about Narcissism do little to comfort me anymore, since what is happening here feels so much worse than simply Narcissistic need for validation and emotional supply. It feels like they are slowly strangling me, waiting for me to die, so they can have my whole house to themselves. My whole support system has turned their back on me, tired of waiting for me to get up and kick them out. If I could do it without their help, I would have done it 6 months ago when I went no contact because of their abuse.

      You can. I got a legal separation. Then look up1 1) notice in paper that your no longer responsible for their debt. Notice to remove their belongings. Hire temp. workers. 3) putting their things outside after that. Its like an eviction but get a legal separation first. You may be as I and are in a common law state. Look up requirements to be seen as a couple. I would say, yes the other presented you both as a couple, as married and get a legal separation. It us cheaobtobfike yourself. Don't talk to other's persons or friends as it could easily be said to person. No exxuses about it. You can do it.

Even after I escaped his malignant DV insanity after three years and fled our shared home one day with a hastily packed suitcase, even after I rebuilt my life away from him, it persisted. I am unable to drink normally anymore, and had to go to program. They give us emotional herpes I swear. Psychological symptoms that persist for years. It’s awful.

    I remember reading years ago, that the teen years were as close to insanity as you’ll ever get in your lifetime.
    WRONG!
    Maybe for people who are fortunate enough to have a somewhat ‘normal’ life.
    But I have gone through DECADES OF INSANITY, not realising until now, that it was because of being raised and groomed by narcissistic psychopaths….which in turn had me marrying a narcissistic psychopath, who died after 31 years of marriage, but I idealised that marriage in a way that I had not come to understand until 20 years after his death. And for the last 20 years, I have been married to a flaming narcissist…..but have been FINALLY learning about all of this crap for the last five or so years.
    I feel like it was a raw deal to have wasted my entire life on being gaslighted to stay in these relationships…..I wish I had this information decades ago, it would have empowered me to take a much different course in my life.
    I suppose, better late than never…..oh well.

My covert narcissist mother sent me to psychiatrist and convinced her that I had just out of the blue went crazy and she has no idea why it happened ans she’s really worried about me. Psychiatrist scolded me for being such a brat.
