      Bless you! You were a voice for your mom. Im proud of you. Im truly sorry what you had to go through. You have became a handsome, beautiful soul. Your knowledge and voice calms me. Though I have not been through things as horrific as you but traumatic as well.
      That man, whom I will not consider him as your father because of his actions, I pray he gets everything he deserves for destroying your life. Hugs♥️

    My Ex husband tried and came close to murdering me (in front of our daughter when she was 5years old)We both got a lot of counseling and I left it up to her -if she wanted to communicate with her father,who is still in prison= doing 30+years. The way your father is reminds me of my ex, also a sociopath. When you share these letters I’m glad we have had low contact with my ex husband.He also literally goes from nice to mean back to manipulative. My ex somehow blames me for his attempted murder upon me! Even now blames me for how he permanently injured me. Just know You make me so thankful I did make it out alive and for the time I’ve had with my daughter! I hurt for you and your mother losing that time!Thank you deeply for sharing your world to help us all heal! You are amazing 💙

    • @wisdomoftheearlychristians2037
      @wisdomoftheearlychristians2037 Рік тому +4

      Well, I could be wrong, as I'm no expert on this case or Narcissists, although I believe both of my parents were both Narcissists; but it seems to me that being a psychopath (or a Narcissist at the minimum) means that not only is HE not to blame for the situation in which he now founds himself (jail), but due to his intelligence and his built in grandiosity, I'm sure that even sending missives from jail, he views himself as the best father and role model Collier could have. Therefore, he is being the bigger person, by rising above his circumstances, and parenting from afar; because that's just the kind of guy he is! He's that wonderful, that even though he is in jail for life, he is showing his intrinsic integrity and morality by rising to the occasion, forgiving his son for testifying against him, and showing his forgiveness and ethics by doing everything he can to raise Collier from afar.
      Honestly, he sounds like my father. (He didn't kill my mother but it certainly wasn't from lack of trying. If my grandparents hadn't lived upstairs and called the police, he would have accomplished it). Despite the physical evidence, and witnesses, like your father, his attitude for the rest of his life was that he was innocent, my mother had made up lies and turned us against him, yet he would be the "bigger" person, by "forgiving " her and us for believing he had done this. Forty years of denial; for forty years he indulged in self pity, telling everyone his own narrative, making up all kinds of fictitious things my mother had done, and then finishing off by stating that he "forgave "her because she gave him two beautiful children. Noone can believe their own lies like a Narcissist.

    Narcs and socio/psychopaths can be so disgustingly predictable...like they follow the dark triad textbook of life. They classically follow a routine with the insidious intent of causing their victim to "bond" to them, we all know this as trauma bonding. Collier, I think that you recognized this as well but starting around 28:17 I began to notice that your father was following this pattern, attempting to solidify a trauma bond between you and him. You however, have the insight and strength to see the facade. He starts with (1) love bombing you...compliments and praise, (2) he then tries to earn you trust as he talks about what a great father he has been to you, next (3) he uses devaluation and criticism to instill some self-doubt...when he addresses you not being affected by what others "negatively think" about you, followed by (4) gaslighting and manipulation, the entire letter is drenched in this..where to even start and from there he is hoping that you will continue to solidify the bond by resigning and submitting to his nonsense, his deranged narrative of reality while you lose your sense of self as you ride the emotional roller coaster through the twilight zone that is the world of narcissism and psychopathy. Text book. Thank you as always for sharing your story. Your strength is palpable.

      That "Sperm Donor" who had the title of Father is Sooo dissociative to reality that he has woven and colored his own story to believe. It is a colorful web that is always a trap
      The doctor is so in denial, and trying to gaslight you for sure!!! Thank God you have had the Truth from the beginning and The Truth is your Shield from the psychological warfare the sick man conjured up.
      I don't know what has transpired as I'm listening to these present-day podcast so I'm going to speak at this stage of hearing what went down. I know when I had a parent that was off the rails we're at one stage in life I had to move to such a place that they did not get to send email did not have my phone number had no way of contacting me and that was the best thing to do. Several all connections. It just raises up anger all over when you do know the truth and then they try to you no needle you with trying to appeal to the child that they manipulated into the adult life. Severing that from any dysfunctional situation is is real Freedom.
      I love that you mentioned the Stockholm syndrome. It's a very valid in a very powerful psychological warfare.
      I don't know when this podcast was recorded and how current it is but in October of 2023, I think of the former Prince Harry being "turned" and actually a captive with Stockholm syndrome with the American woman Meghan Markle. That woman is bat a crazy socio- psychopath. And I don't know why all the best psychologists and psychiatrists in this world cannot do an intervention on that man, who is a shell of his former self and being paraded around under some mind control, addiction power with possible real threats and emotional blackmail.
      Anybody who's been in that situation are reading his body language and through empath, not his words, AR reading him loud and clear. Though he's nearing forty, it's no different than a ten-year-old boy or a girl who is trapped in a abusive blackmailing situation who's going to school and going through the motions of life. They don't see a way out. It's better to stay where they are and bare up, then the pain, losses, risk of life and destruction of breaking out. You were able to break that unseen barrier, like blowing through the sound barrier in a F-15, you carried on with the Battle. But FREE🌅

    As a survivor from a narcissistic psychopath, I watch a lot of true crime to help my understand how their brain works and to reassure myself that I wasn't going crazy. Like you said they can convince anyone that the sky is pink and the ocean is yellow. I would watch him do things and I immediately ask him why he did it. He would ALWAYS answer "I didn't do anything", and always in a nonchalant manner. We would go back and forth that way for a while until I would start to think that maybe he was right and I just imagined it. I mean, wtf!!! I am an intelligent person! How does that happen? I knew he was a liar, but why lie in the first place especially over something that was so irrelevant. I would also tell him that I was not his mother and I was not going to punish him for telling the truth. He was never fond of that one 😂

If he refers to them in a sweet nickname manner, of course they’ll believe I couldn’t have killed them. That’s what these narcissists think.

Seeing that brave boy taking the witness stand was so touching, and as a mom to a kickass son myself, I was so proud of you! I thought of the bond I have with my own son - who is now a man - and how we would die inside if anything happened to either of us. It would be an unimaginable, burning pain that would never go away. I hope like heck you have found an ersatz surrogate to fill the void Noreen left. She was beautiful. You definitely have her eyes, and I suspect also her heart.

(My husband) But, adding in the other mental problems is just a disaster waiting to happen. I’m so very sorry that all of this happened to you as a child.
    Your in my prayers and I know that you will do well in all your endeavors!
    Added note: the entirety of the video, when talking about the narcissistic behaviors I was just blown away. Everything you said about a narcissist was point on. Unbelievable how the characteristics of of a narcissist never change from one person to another. Their ALL the same.
    After 30+ years with one I know that kind of chaos. People ask me how I do it, (it’s exhausting) but…. I’m from the south. You know what is coming before it happens and you just have to be more clever than they are. More than that……you gotta be meaner than they are. I give back, I call it as I see it. I don’t back down, I don’t put up with the crap and call him on it. I let him by with nothing. He’s getting older now, he’s getting a little defeated, and I just smile….lol

    Hi Collie, I remember watching the bravest testimony I had ever seen but little did I know that you would have such a profound effect on me so many years later and all the way over here in Australia.
    I'm a Mum of two adult boys and their father is a self described sociopath. He's spent half their lives in prison but still manipulates us all.
    Thank you for exposing the insidious tactics they use. As you read these letters and explain it, I can recognise and confirm what is happening to us.
    Even though I know he does this I fall victim to him when he acts kind is a relief from the vicious conflict.
    I so appreciate you.
    You were a rock for your mother under indescribable pressure.
    And now you are a rock for us.
    Saying thank you can not convey my gratitude. Please don't underestimate your impact . You are appreciated ❤

    Intriguing to think about your biological father's deluded comments. At the 7.45 min mark, your smiling eyes amongst the irony of your father's words.
    Your coping strategies in sharing your letters, are super amazing. 🙏🏽Praying for comfort always, for the pain that can never truely go away..
    Our children in an accident that took their father's life. Often there is a bit of Dark humour in our ' family group chat' on a good day. Third eldest recently mentioned, she has invited her dad for Easter lunch, but he didn't answer her! Our eldest replied, that's a bit stiff, how rude of him!😅
    4th child responded, 'He never replies😅😢😅
    If he doesn't show up, we'll just have to eat the family pack of M&M's I bought him for Easter😅

    First, I'm sorry for your trauma, sustained trauma from your Father, family abandonment. I'm grateful that you find healing and have the strength to share your experiences. My eldest is a narcissist and this helps me between my therapy appts to remember the world is full of narcs/ socios. To be strong not bite the bait, internalize the gaslighting. My prayers and best positive vibes sent to you. Serenity prayer but also self grace when we lose our shit and get depressed.

    I have been watching many videos about you and the “father” and I can’t believe how his personality mimics my ex abusers! Same exact behaviors, gas lighting, explosive hair trigger temper, rewriting the story to fit his narrative … I would almost be convinced you were talking about my kids “dad”. My kids went through exactly what you talked about except I ran and hid with them several times, staying at shelters, only to be arrested for kidnapping them several times. Once Inproved abuse I would be let out and then try to run and the last judge here put me in jail twice and then held contempt over my head all the time… I was revictimized by the court Al over again and I didn’t care because I was not dropping my teens off to visit a violent drunk who tortured them. Thank The Lord Above that they are aged out of the courts and we are safe so far! I give God the glory he has protected us and now I will fulfill my role and write a book about my story…. Maybe you can help me some day!

    Don't let your dad do that to you. You don't have to read these letters if it's not healthy for you. You can't lose sleep over this. You don't owe any of us to do something that isn't mentally healthy for you. Keep that in mind. You've already helped people in bad situation's to recognize people like your father in their lives.

    It is interesting that you wondered if he was actually writing these letters for his own benefit. He probably was hoping that you would share them with the parole board. I was thinking the exact same thing when you said it! Also, I can tell how much these letters hurt you to read, bc they validate the feelings you already have of your father. I am so sorry that this happened to you and your mother. Neither of you deserved it. You are a fine young man, and your mother would actually be so proud of you( I say this as a mother, not a gaslighter). I hope you have received therapy through the years, along with your therapeutic podcast. Sending you much affection. ❤

  • @martharamirezdelacruz5106
    @martharamirezdelacruz5106 11 місяців тому +3

    Dear Collier, I just discovered your podcast today and I wanted to know why your father's mistress was not charged as an accesory to your mother's murder because she must have known before (because it was premeditated; they bought the house before the murder; they forged your mother's signature; they bought tools, etc) and after the murder (they buried her body under the floor of the basement). She was pregnant at the time of the murder (that's motive) and moved into your house immediately to replace your mother. The fact that they bought a house before his divorce to your mother went through is proof that he wanted to start a new life with his mistress and he didn't want your mother to get half of his assets in a divorce. A narcissist sociopath would perceive giving half of his assests to your mother as a failure/insult, even if he was an unfaithful, violent husband and father, he would never let your mother LEAVE him, on her terms not his. He had to kill her to protect his ego. She didn't leave him, he killed her and then he lied to everybody saying she is in Canada shopping. During the trial and after, he continued lying to get out of prison, blaming the cops, your mother everybody except himself. Based on the letters that you have read, he will never confess his guilt and ask for your forgiveness because his family will stop visiting in prison if he admits the truth and he can play the victim (he is an innocent man framed for a murder he didn't commit) and gaslight everybody into believing he is innocent and make them spend lots of money in prison trying to prove his innocence. What kind of monster allows his mother to lose her house and other assets paying for lawyers and appeals and PIs investigating corruption in the police department to back up hix claims that he was framed?

    I never would have thought that this letter was even more horrific than you had talked about, but when you said he possibly wrote it for others to see when you hopefully told them how wonderful of a father he was! Just wow how your biological fathers broken brain works.
    I have been in the hands of a psychopath who I thought was going to kill me at 18 yrs old but he let me go. My life was permanently changed. I have read or watched a lot if true crime and better understand why people do these horrible things to others. I’m so sorry you had to go through so much at such a young age. Thank you for all you do for others. I will continue to watch them all.

    Your Dad never stops lying. He can’t ever make himself ‘look bad.’ And he can’t ever stop trying to get outta jail.
    Couldn’t be more evidence against him…. And yet, he just can’t stop loving the lie.
