    Hi guys!! Just wanted to share info. about my upcoming life coaching certification course. Some people plan to become life coaches - others 'fall into it'. I think when a person has gone through something so life altering, something that pushed them outside the realms of their authentic self, something that so profoundly changed not only their self perception, but altered their nervous system, dis-regulated their brain and warped their reality..... and yet when they manage to reconnect with self, and heal the deep emotional wounds that are hidden to the naked eye and misunderstood by those that have never been through an experience like that - well, it's only natural to feel a deep desire to want to help others that have been through that. That's how I 'fell into coaching' and it's been an amazing experience to help individuals all over the world to break through the side effects of cptsd and/or side effects of narcissistic abuse. If YOU are interested in becoming a life coach - be sure to check out my website: micheleleenieves.com/narcissistic-abuse-recovery-coaching-certification/

      So true! At 52, I no longer interact with my mother and only wish I'd cut the cord much, much earlier in my life. I don't even miss her because I just know in my heart that she has only hatred and misery to offer. Whenever I think about her, which I rarely do, a deep feeling of relief rushes through me. Life is so much better without her! I don't wish her any harm or anything bad, but it's amazingly good to have no contact with her. And because she always kept me apart from her sisters, I really don't even have people talking about her with me. Life is good! 🤞🤓💖

    You cannot just tell them what and why you're hurt, sad, feel like your feelings aren't regarded. Not only do they punish you for that in many different ways, they mark that up in their mental checklist and say, Ah ok, this hurts her.... Then they will pull the stunt that hurts you!! Anytime they can & twist that knife so hard in your back, heart & soul...and have that duper's delight grin shining on their face while they do it.

      Hello Erica. Completly right. That's exactly what they do. And this is not the treatment we deserve. I used to tell my ex about things I didn't like that I heard about me , and he remembered some of them..like I was not beautiful enough, like I needed to loose weight.. and then 2 month later he began to repeat these things every day...and if something makes us feel sad or emotional they will try to use our emotions against us. Because they want the control but they are jealous as well because they haven't got real emotions and they lack sensitivity. I don't know you, but I hope that you are doing well because I don't know why, but I feel that you are a wonderful person 😊 the less you tell them what your feelings are the more you can protect yourself from their evil plans. Take care 🍀

      @@leaedenk5975 yes, I learned that trick years ago. I realized I kept giving him the roadmap to destroy my sanity & break my heart. I hated him & loved him at the same time. With him since we were 14, divorcing now at 40. I never thought I could get out. Left him several times & I literally felt like I was dying (perfect trauma bond) & he knew everything I needed him to do before I'd come back, and told me everything I wanted to hear. Then he would be the perfect spouse & dad, slow his drinking down, show me so much love for several months to a year, maybe 2. Then I would see that hurtful, despising cruel man worse than the time before. On that hamster wheel for 25 years.

    Narcissists often “manipulate” their victims/supplies to always seek their validation by conditioning us (victims) to think they are better/smarter than us and care about us more than anyone in this world. I was talking/arguing with my NP in the other day, I kept hard with my inner dialog by saying “I don’t need their validation, I can self-validate.” I even used the broken record saying “that is your opinion.” They threw a rage at me saying “We are talking FACTs here!! We have more experience and we love you like more than anyone in world, how come you don’t listen to us?!”

    I used to say to my ex Narc, well let’s agree to disagree. He would stop talking and scowl. 😂 after I stopped refusing to engage in his attacks of me, the marriage was on its way to being over. I wasn’t giving him supply in that way. Slowly over a 4 year period I began to love myself, put up boundaries and showed him I loved and liked me even if he didn’t. It dries up the supply you give them and they eventually discard.

      TRUST is like a crystal glass that once it's broken its hard to put the pieces back together and when you try to fix them, you might get puncture and get hurt. The crystal glass would never be the same no matter what. That is why it's important to apply wisdom when dealing with our partners and i believe smartness is essential in any relationship. I got help from (cybertech-tracker) as he helped cloned my cheating husband’s phone and I got access to all his phone Text messages, Facebook, Instagram, Whats-app, Skype, Kik, Twitter, Snap-chat, Email and social media chats without touching her phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist but I'm glad to uncover his deceits, secrets and Infidelity. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with (cybertech-tracker) and i was able to read his recent and deleted messages from my phone without laying my hands on his phone and he has no idea his phone has been cloned. I was hurt when i saw a picture of my husband and his lover, i felt so bad about infidelity. I’m here in Australia and was able to access his phone while he was away cheating in the UK and saw all the proofs i needed for a divorce and even terrible things they had planned . He also does hacking of account or any other type of hacking and retrieval of data. His services are trusted and guaranteed and also affordable. Contact this Cybertech-tracker via Gmail (cybertechtracker) or text and speak to him directly on his phone and Whats_app : +1 (202) 697-7171. I hope you find peace of mind just like myself after discovering the truth.

    Great Advice 👌❤️
    Find You by focusing on You
    Reconnect with yourself
    Fill your own cup
    Put yourself First
    Self Validate
    Unplug from their thoughts
    Unplug from their feelings
    Unplug from their needs
    Unplug from their wants
    Stop enabling and fawning them to SOOTHE the dragon 🐉
    It’s catering to the self centered overly entitled Spoiled Brat !!!
    You become the doormat, the whipping post, peacekeeper.
    It’s NOT our responsibility to FIX another person. That’s Co Dependant behaviour, it’s toxic and disempowering to ourselves. It’s self sacrificing our needs for another. It’s devaluing ourselves, it’s minimizing our feelings/needs.
    We lose our voice and ability to self validate. We LOSE ourselves, we Self Sacrifice.
    We disconnect from ourselves
    It’s about power and CTRL.
    It’s like you are paying their power bill without using it.
    You’re willingly paying their emotional utility bill, without benefit to yourself. You are being used and abused.

    Literally my life. 26 years so far. 3 grown kids who are seeing all of it as young adults and its so painful for them because they blame themselves just like I've done for years. I learned to hide it so well but now they are experiencing it for themselves. I wish they never had to understand what is happening but I am so thankful for all of this information because its helping me educate myself and help our children learn that we truly can't do anything about the way he acts. I was in counseling and was told I suffer from CPTSD and codependancy. I no longer have those resources for counseling so these videos are crucial to our sanity. We don't feel so crazy anymore! Also I think that there's also a covert side to him too. No one knows what he's really like. He's very private and gets so upset if I say anything to anyone. He is paranoid and very controlling about isolating me. I've been responding without reacting. I've learned that I can't "make sense" to him or reason with him so I gave up trying.
    I've been praying and using meditation with music because that's my happy place. Well on my way to healing and so are our children. 🙏 thank you again!!

    I was the assistant to a malignant cover narcissist. Assisting is already a vulnerable profession: you observe and learn your person, their likes and dislikes, their schedule, their personality. Without respect on both sides, its easy to fall into a type of codependency. But my boss did all of the things you spoke of. Eventually, he had trained me not to speak, have opinions, or even have a life outside of work. Mentioning my likes, or hobbies, was met with stony disapproval. Never expressed in words -- he didn't need to -- silence, a look.
    I described the experience as splitting into two people. One, the person below, me -- the real me. Chaffing against the injustice of being silenced and walked on. Two, the person he demanded I become -- the invader. Slowly killing the real me. It genuinely felt like I had two very different selves, and they were at war.
    By the time I left, I could barely speak. Now, after two years of work, I can't imagine ever letting anyone control me with shame like that again.
    I am so grateful for channels like this, Michele, that not only validate my experience but have given me invaluable tips and tricks on how to move forward as a strong, self-aware person. Thank you.

    I love the last one. Compliment yourself. Being in a relationship over 12 years I would clean the house almost completely spotless and she would come home and never notice a thing. Certainly never compliment me about anyting. I love it when she flat-out lies to my face, if I say something about what I did she'll say oh I said it look nice when she never said a word. But whenever she helps around the house which is seldomly ever, I lavish on the praise. Because when someone comes home and the house was a wreck before they left but it's totally clean when you come home how can you not notice that? She loves to pull the oh I said that, when she never said a word. Oro I said Thank you or oh I did say I was sorry when she never ever did and then she'll say will you play it in a rock band you can't hear. I can hear when people give me compliments

If you don t do it for them... I react not to let all his poison come inside of me... And to teach me that no... I don t have to always take it... Nevertheless the fear you carry all around, the adrenaline... They smell it like a shark, so... Yes, my dear... Explode for you, it s healthy to let go of emotions...

So; do we *really* "Need" love, and worth shown to us from others, or is that our quest here on Spaceship Earth - to find the magic kingdom within?

    Great video. They exactly do direct opposite to what you like and enjoy or do - intentionally regardless of what you do, like in that example you gave with book reading. More you like and enjoy what you do, more frustrated you are hence more FUN they get. They somehow intuitively sense that (cold empathy) and attack there. It’s ho do hear somewhere that to destroy happiness is easiest thing - when person happy and enjoy something he or she is in most vulnerable psychological state and easy target. And will squirt the most amount of emotions if frustrate them in such a state of happiness and joy. Just like a Satan do read that meaning of that word is OPPOSER - someone who oppose you.

    My N sister claimed she was crying because of me, because I wouldn't tell her whether I was "all alone" during lockdown (her words). I live with three other people and she knows this; I do not have to remind her of my life circumstances, my very existence. I now realize her victim script is fake, for a larger agenda. It's a performance and I'm not a bad person. She will be fine. This was emotional manipulation and I will not address it. I am not responsible for her "emotions." Her fake-outs.
    Her agenda? She wants me to feel bad about not giving her my time and attention and being dominated by her-- and she wants me give up my identity and switch places with her (ie: she is all alone, not me, because no one wants to be around her). I know this sounds harsh, but I have seen the pattern over many years. Michele, you are so right, we are all allowed to be happy.

    My wife moved to Texas and i followed months later but she no longer wanted to be with me. She was already in the process of getting her second divorce from me unbeknownst to me.
    Our marriage suffered cuz she was mean jealous controlling and vindictive. She would start the fights and I would get offended by her attitude. But we wouldn't of fought nearly as much if it wasn't for her being so mean.
    On judgment day don't we all have our lives shown in front of us like a movie? Imagine the guilt my wife will have after seeing how cruel she was towards me and her kids. She treats her kids miserable too. Narcissistic to the bone. Why did i have to meet a narcissist and then marry her? Now i go into the tribulation alone. I might not be able to see my daughter. My wife goes to a Laodicean church that is filthy rich. They have enough food to feed their congregation for months. They won't let me in. She told them i verbally abused her. As Yah as my witness I never verbally abused her. I never called he names none of that. 2 years ago there was an isolated incident where i couldn't take it anymore and snapped after her belittling and psycho behavior. I screw up once and it over she screws up hourly and doesn't admit to it.
    This guy Michael told me how she's telling everyone how i verbally abused her and habitually hit her. I told him you can't believe a word from her and denied it all except one isolated incident. I admit to one time where she was screaming i started recording her and she threw my $600 phone out the window. I reacted. I wasn't ready for that kind of psycho behavior. Who does that? Ya i know there is no excuse but 75% of men would of snapped too cuz of the way she was screaming. She has a way of getting under your skin with how cruel vile and disrespectful she can be. Its actually evil. You can see the devil inside of her manipulating her like a puppet. The hate in her eyes from the devil. Makes Beyonce's super bowl manifestation look like a clown show.
    I am getting falsely accused of a ton of stuff and no one believes me. They all look at me crazy. And what blows my mind even more is she thinks she's walking in the Fathers will. She creates a fantasy world where she is the victim so everyone feels sorry for her. Claims she is the holy set apart one and I am the one who the devil is manipulating. She actually believes that i am cursed and i need help. That she is righteous and has no need of repentance. Its the other way around. I'm afraid she won't realize that until she's dead and at the judgment seat of Mashiach. But by then she won't have a prayer. She will be cast into outer darkness. I don't want that to happen but i don't make the rules Yah does. I still love her and care about her and don't want her to go to hell. But She is in big trouble by falsely accusing me. Now everyone hates me and i have no friends or anyone. I have my daughter and her kids.
    If i knew that she was pulling this crap i would of gotten a lawyer and fought for my daughter. I can't give up on my daughter now. I don't give up on anyone. I have the holy spirit. Unlike her although she thinks she has the holy spirit. But the holy spirit doesn't led you to disrespect your husband be extremely mean and selfish. The holy spirit convicts you to repent and feel anguished by sin not vindicated. And the holy spirit definitely doesn't led you to falsely accuse your husband to the world making him look like a monster. Unbelievable

      Yahusha is the Torah made flesh it’s sad you still love her as she seems to have moved on. Such people will demonise you in order to justify their actions. But the sadder part is they convince themselves of the same. It’s like they deceive themselves. Bottom line you can’t change her but you can change your response to her actions. One day the love will disappear and you will be free emotionally.

    All great advise, as always! :) That said, tho I'd love to do all those things, it seems so impossible. Not because I don't get it or that it cannot be done. It's that, after finally gathering the strength to escape a long term toxic marriage, safely.. w/ a teenage son.. Now, being disabled, confused, unsure, afraid, insecure & alone... I never realized then that (not all are to this level) leaving would take the most strength. That, after.. once he lost control, his hoovering, manipulation tactics, tantrums, threats, smear campaigns etc. would be THE most dangerous & hardest part. Not only did the stalking begin, but he manipulated the little family/friends left into not believing or helping us, idk. Worse still.. he quickly & illegally, somehow cleared all bank accts, closed out 401k, stopped son's health ins, hid the cars & tried to even impact my ssi/disability; the tiny income I have. He also RAN & filed for divorce, knowing he just put me in a position to not be able to afford even appearing, let alone having any means to gain legal counsel OR... get there! He thought those things, would get us to come back. Nope.. we've both been total NC since that day & yet he hasn't stopped trying to find ways to locate us, use flying monkeys to reach out, ruin holidays, anything he can.. Oh & tho I was told by 2 different lawyers I was able to call that, if we didn't go in on it together (which would still carry 6 mo sep. waiting period) there'd be a 2 yr waiting period. I was freaking out, but then figured I could focus on other things, ya know... like where to sleep, food for son, total basics... after working my entire life being responsible for everyone. smh. Guess not... somehow, still don't know.. he got it put through. TWENTY six years together on/off since H.S.... 17 of, married... & NO child support, NO alimony/maintenance, NO division of anything... he had it finalized in, I'd say...

Teenage boys can clean the cupboards...I KNOW! 😂Have you applied for food stamps? I think your son may be eligible too since you're disabled... Give your caseworker a call to check. I too am on SSI, but no dependents, other than a small dog & cat. I escaped my situation 8 months ago...moved 2100 miles away to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere! 💖 I get food stamps (not very much, but it helps), and there's a food bank here, and a place to get decent, clean used clothes for free. Praying for you!

    When you talked about how he didn't like when you read I started to tear up. I also loved to read but my husband could not stand it. He also told me that it was a waste of time. He had not said my name in my presence for over fifteen years. Many years ago when I told him that it bothered me that he doesn't say my name, he told me I was ridiculous and that he says my name all the time. Then he continued to never say my name. I thought I was going crazy, why would he refuse to say my name. It was because he had a term of endearment for me. He calls me lots of awful words... but doesn't use my name. 😥
