Narcissist First Discards You in His Mind, Then in Reality (EXCERPT)

  • Discard reenacts unresolved separation phase.
    Individuation depends on devaluation (in order to preserve grandiosity and exit the shared fantasy) and externalization-projection (reversal of internalization-introjection). When either of these two processes fails, hoovering results.
    So, emotionally, discard precedes devaluation. The narcissist hangs on to his partner only in order to complete the devaluation.
    Devaluation resembles also the separation phase in adolescence: reactance (defiance), contempt, distancing, negative identity formation, approach-avoidance.

    When my ex started to devalue me, I started to lactate. It had been over 20 years since had an infant. The doctor’s had no explanation for the lactation. I believe he did turn me into his mother and my body responded to him. I continued to lactate for over a year after he discarded me. It also came with tremendous breast pain. I hope that one day we can help people with personality disorders effectively. I suffered so much.

    Brilliant, Sam. “The narcissist imbues the snapshot with his own undesirable traits, and puts it back on you.”
    That way, he doesn’t have to admit he was wrong to idealize you.
    Of course, there are different forces and tensions in any one situation; still, it’s incredibly useful that you can tweeze out this underlying facet within the base cause of devaluation and present it for our understanding.
    Because what he mirrors back is shaming and disgusting. “How did I go from ‘bride!’ to disgusting” is such a wretched and confounding dilemma.
    Today is our 39th anniversary. He gave me roses. How? With years of therapy, I have individuated.
    In his case, women are creatures of fantasy. He married (captured) one. And she aged and spent money on things his adolescent mind didn’t approve of.
    Moving on, mentally discarding then devaluing, while presenting the opposite is in line with what he does in other areas. He makes up alternative reasons for his actions that have nothing to do with his real reason. He confabulates. His whole family does.
    Thank you, Sam.

    I completely understand devaluation now, I think. In every way, except financially, I outshine him. He knows this. I think that's why he would triangulate me with other women. Reject Mr and my body. Tell me I'm not good enough. Those were his qualities and I took them as mine. On top of that I thought I was a jealous, crazy and miserable person.

      This is exactly what happened with my 40yo ex. We both lived with nearly identical mothers; after a few months of dating I moved out of my mom's house. To simplify a complicated story, he was unable to leave his mom. He love bombed me so much in the first few months (e.g. wanting to get married fast) and even at the beginning of the devaluation phase fought with his mom over me (she started devaluing me earlier). But he ended up reflecting everything his mom said; it's like he didn't have a mind of his own. In the last phase, he sided with his mom and repeatedly was pushing me away and pulling me back, until he decided he was never going to marry and take care of his mom (but he would keep coming back to me after pushing me away). Finally I blocked him everywhere and have spent the past 2 months processing the entire relationship.
      Thank you for these videos, Prof. Vaknin! They have helped me understand better what happened.

    So Dr. Batman, does this not explain why my (recent personal relationship experience with a female) devaluation to discard happen so quickly, within several days because her internalised devaluation had already taken place? Consequently, I was subsequently overwhelmed with the singular question of how someone can profess their love, exhibit their love on Sunday & on Thursday, follow with her list of grievances (my apparent behaviours) presented to me along with her total & complete discard of the relationship. Thank you.

    The last time this happened which was possibly almost 2 years ago now! It all started about the first time when covid hit but she called me when I smiled away from her saying that I forgot to congratulate her on her victory! As I could not talk but stutter her saying that she was me and my truth she admired me so she had to become me of my truth and I was her of her lies! Me being a maintenance man or in that field she had to become me to be around my children of my truth and my love for them but her a liar and now I was her the liar or had her lies and she was me the truth a maintenance person a man but her being woman I simply said she was crazy and hung up on her but to this day I have no relationship because of the blackmail she's caused me between my children and me and my first wife and second time I was married with her being from a different country I legalized her in this country being from a country called Mexico boy was I in for a great disappointment over the 35 years of being discarded and going back countless times of loving her and my children she had always removing the father from the home never was I to be there to teach my children of the truth of who I was or my identity! Always removing me because I would make her feel like a prostitute of me touching her or loving her but her having my four children so she can get my child support or a period of how many years I have a daughter now my oldest turning 30 or 31 years old having four children from my prior marriage all are ruined by her abuse and the disorder in the family and conduct she created returns all I'm lucky to get out with my life possibly even being poisoned I know for sure but I am fine but starting over is sad at the age of 65 when my body is wore out from all the types of work I did even being called back by the last time to remodel her home and then abused again with my credit cards and credit me putting the materials and trusting her once again and again finally being taken away handcuffed till preview proven innocent within 1 hour never having drugs in my system they released me with one hour and a half as I stumbled back down the street not too far from there I thought of one block away I return home with my child my youngest my son crying out to me Dad I'm sorry for the lie mother had told me
