      I didn't want to leave my children, die, and he asked me one more time in our library we had in our house as I was dusting crystals, books, porcelain.. I said no because although I loved him, we were both along with our children and deserved to have a better life (I was his third wife and he was my first)
      He then told me that in about eight minutes would be at our house with a restraining order because he isn't going to lose a third wife and he owns me.
      Fortunately I have reconnected with my son once he graduated high school. It has been just over 8 years since I have heard my sweet daughter's voice or have seen her because he would make it harder on my daughter if she had anything to do with me. Eight years ago she wanted and begged for him to let me stay, see, or speak with me.
      She graduates this year and I pray someday she will reconnect with me somehow.

      My son carefully hid them in the hillside so they wouldn't break and offered to go back to get them but I told him that it would be too dangerous and he means more to me than risking him getting hurt.

My daughter (20) is raising her son all by herself because her ex boyfriend doesn’t have anything to do with her or his son. She has done counseling and is more put together than her own mother. She knows that a man who wants sex after the first date is no man. She dresses modestly instead of sexually. My goal as her father is to allow her to be her and yet let her know what to expect from real men vs boys in a man’s body.
      My eldest son (16) just won second place in state for wrestling and he has a great work ethic and so far hasn’t made sexual advances with his girlfriend and says he doesn’t want to. He also has A’s in High School.
      Second son (14) has A’s in High School and is planning on being a therapist. He speaks like an adult man and I sometimes forget he is my son when he speaks with me 😂.
      Third son (8) is just 8. He still cuddles up with me sitting in a recliner. I just love on him as a father should as I did with all of my children. He’s always talking and asking questions about a million zillion things and if I can answer them I will if not I will help him find an answer. If no answer then I just explain to him in time hopefully we will get an answer.
      I love my children and give to them as much as I can in a healthy manner. My father didn’t give me any affection at all and when I needed to cry as a child he told me to shut up or he would give me something to cry about. No hugs or a kiss on the forehead or cheek. Just work he didn’t want to do. My mother is why I know about affection and love. I do miss her so much.

    Watching her as she saw planes crashing into the Twin Towers on 9/11 for instance, there was no emotion whatsoever. She couldn't seem to comprehend why everyone was so "traumatized". "Bad things happen" she said. Also, "I'm kind of impressed those guys had the balls to carry that out.".

One guy told me he killed a caterpillar between his fingers. A week later he told me he was in the hospital all week, no idea what's wrong. I said on a long shot, maybe it was that caterpillar (he had tried to upset me as he described it's death). He went silent. I said let's look it up. Sure enough they are one of the most poisonous insects and you never want to touch them in that manner. I think that lesson helped him as I ran into him later.

At the same time I had his narcissist family and my narcissist family constantly abusing me. I with our children were discarded thank God. I went into a clinical depression from exhaustion and narcissistic abuse just before he left. I recovered and worked and raised our kids alone. The ex and his super narcissist parents didn’t speak a word throughout the marriage. I now think that the satanic demon inside the ex had me under a spell to serve him. Then when he left
    I was free of him. I finally wiped out the lot just 5 years ago by no contact for life to the ex, his narc family and my narc family. Now it’s just me and my kids and grand kids and my good friends. I love me again and nurture me.

    So accurate, my mom would complain about some random person doing something, then I grew to know that within a week she would be complaining that I did that same thing, even if was totally out character for me and wouldn't make any sense to anyone who knew me. It was one of those major patterns I noticed her doing. What you said about their connection to reality is so true. If she watched a movie even and latched onto a certain character she would start to seem to think I was that character, they really can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. I thought her apology was sincere because she actually said that she realized over time that she had a false reality in her head. She was what I think of as a late stage narcissist, she came to realize that she had this problem, but it still didn't change her unwillingness to be healthy. I came back into her life and she continued the same exact behaviors except she escalated more quickly this time! Going back into contact with one of these mentally ill people really is enabling their illness because to them it only means that what they did was okay. Like giving a five year old what they want just because they cry and then say they're sorry. Which feels like an insult to 5 year olds, but of course the five year old feels more remorse than the grown adult does and is only an innocent child. These people have the qualities of an undeveloped child and justify this somehow, I think because normal people just continue to put up with it so they don't have to.

      @@jangunning1676 Room 101 in George Orwell's 1984 symbolizes a person's deepest and worst possible fears. In the context of a narcissistic relationship, it represents what fears/traumas that may have been hidden. In theory, it is what holds you back from releasing the narcissistic partner fully and forever. Furthermore, the narcissist exploits it to control and manipulate their victim, making it all the more sinister. For healing to occur, the person must confront their personal "Room 101" and face these core fears, ultimately working towards overcoming their self-love deficit and breaking the cycle of abuse.

    My mother is like this. Would randomly come into my room as a child and wake me up to tell me off about something I hadn’t done. Or call me out of the blue to start an argument about a conversation we’d never had.
    She also had full on delusions which were explained away as being messages directly from god. Because she’s obviously so special.
    I’m in my mid 40s now and have had nothing to do with her for quite a few years. The strangest thing looking back is how normal her behaviour seemed to me, even as an adult. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid at the crazy things she’d say and do. I guess that’s why it’s so easy to fall into abusive relationships when you get older, if you’ve always accepted the batshittery.

    I was in a childrens choir. We practice tuesdays and performed sundays in church. And all other days i practised the songs at home, loud. Everywhere. In the bathroom in the hall, at the table everywhere all the time. For 5 years. As a teenager i didnt thing church was cool anymore and quit church and therefore also quited the choir. Then at the age around 16 i once accidently out of habit, sang a song in the bathroom. My mother asked me why i was singing that song. Where did i learn it? Was i mocking or why was i singing it. I said i always liked to sing and liked music a lot for these beautiful melodies
    that kept on beeing in my head. I missend the choir and if it wasnt a church choir but any other choir i wouldnt have left it.
    She then said: you were never in any choir.
    I was flabbergasted. For days i kept on asking her what she meant. But dispite the fact that i had siblings testifying i had really been in that choir: she kept on saying that i had never been in any choir ever, that i was liying. And she never changed that. When i asked: how is it possible all people in this house testify i really was in that choir? Her answer was: i would have remembered if you were in a choir. I do not remember and therefore it didnt happen.
    So it was hard to realize as a teenager your mother is outside of reality. I had noticed behore she had different versions of events but this was a complete absense of memory.
    It is so strange.
    The worst thing is i also dissociate when things i dont want to hear or feel happen, i fly away in my head. Even when they are only small things. So officially i was "emotionally neglected" (CEN) as a child but i now see myself do it. To my horror. I dont take it out on others and not deny it but if anyone has tips how to beat dissociation, please answer in comments. So i sometimes do not feel much my blood pulls out of me and then its hard to remember afterwards. I do remember everything but if its something i dont like the feeling of topic shame is too overwhelming and like a fuse break: everything just blocks. And people think im distand and aloof. Idont want to be. I want to be affectionate and a relatable and have deeper friendshipsand be able to speak in front of people without toxic shame. Just be like anyone else nothing more nothing less
