"Anyone who has been in a narc relationship has been betrayed" - hit that nail again!

[csfiskus]

It takes seconds to break a trust.
It takes years to build.
And forever to repair

The thing I hate about betrayal trauma is that it leaves you scared that you will get hurt by flying monkeys if you ask others to protect you from the narcissist in your life. I never told my narcissistic exs parents half of what he did to me in private. It's scary how much fear and terror a person can endure alone when he or she doesn't know who to trust.
Hugs to all survivors of narcissistic abuse.

Betrayal definitely can have a long-lasting, devastating effect on your life. Sometimes, betrayal is outright calculated and absolutely criminal.

[michele]

The word betrayal is a synonym for abuse in the context of a narcissistic relationship. When the narcissist is a parent or an intimate partner it's chronic betrayal that with time negatively effects your physical and mental health, and robs you of your sense of self, self worth and ability to trust others and yourself. It's soul crushing pain.

My X narcissist lied and used my compassion for 30 years. I will never be ok. 😳

[mikesmith]

Been betrayed for a very long time. Probably why I have difficulty trusting anyone especially if they claim they care about me.

[saranonimus]

A few years back, I thought my mother had betrayed me in a truly heinous way that had catastrophic consequences for me and my children. That event spurred a lot of soul-searching on my part, and I finally realized that no...she didn't "betray" me, she was always toxic and I didn't see it for what it was.

[nicoledpaolino]

Frequently my mother betrayed me. I think it made her feel powerful. In fact, feeling invigorated teaming up with my siblings, together would all betray me. She standardized the lifelong treatment to me.

[Psychodynamics-With-Martin]

"I think sometimes we don't even recognize betrayal as such anymore, since we have internalized it at a young age. If someone invalidates your feelings and keeps you boxed in, it's still a form of betrayal. We have become masters at self-betrayal, so we don't have to deal with the reality...

[jokendrick]

I've been betrayed by both my narcissist sisters. Its a horrible reality and feeling to live with. I just have to put it out of my mind for self preservation.

[scottstaggs]

Dr. Ramani, I have a different experience. I have been abandoned by the US Army. I served 22 years. I am combat wonded in Iraq 2005. I was a recruiter at the end of my career. After I spent my entire adult life serving, I was seperated by administrative discharge (non judicial) the proccess is the ultimate betrayal as it is absent of due process (key narcist tool). Every promise of retirement and future health issues were stripped. I am suffering from sever depression and anxiety. I have signed up and pray for some answers.

[leilagomulka]

I signed papers on Good Friday, literally, for a very large property transfer. Then I was rendered homeless. You can’t make this stuff up. And my lawyer even abandoned me. Fearing for herself.

[ScurvyRascal]

Betrayal is a word I never even considered on my healing journey!
WoW! Thank you very much indeed!

[makaylahollywood]

Betrayal is like the worst magic trick you never knew you were a part of...

[quinntessentiallyme]

I was recently betrayed by an employer. I had been honest with them about my mental illness and neurodiversity struggles, and they said they would absolutely help me adjust as I went. I was upfront with them along the way, and they were awesome.... at the start. Then things got darker, my bosses stopped interacting with me, and then BOOM!! I was fired because I was "not a good fit" because of my disabilities. They said I was a part of the family. I believed them. The firing was an upper case T trauma for me. Thankfully I have a care team to keep me from doing more harm to myself than they did. But betrayal can come from anyone, anywhere, anytime.

[knitpurl]

My mother was a borderline and what they do is think others will betray them. My mother literally howled about this. Yet their abuse is betrayal. But they can't see it. Only they are victims.

[robinchilds]

I feel betrayed when the narcissist lies.

[wildhorses]

Thank you Dr Ramani and Staff . Yes, we have been betrayed in numerous ways... emotionally, financially, physically, mentally, spiritually and even damaging our health and our very Souls. This is major Abuse, a type that for me will never be fully repaired nor healed in my lifetime.
The GRIEF is overwhelming at times which is another Injury to the Soul.
Thankfully I have always been a Spiritual person and yet, at times it has even destroyed my spiritual devotion and Beliefs. This is Brutal and few in Family Law, Psychology, Medicine, Healthcare, Legal System, etc. recognize any of this. Education is essential.
I have graduate degrees in Psychology and never learned this until the Major Discard and Abuse happened to me.
The ability to Deceive, Lie and Betray by these damaged creatures is at a Level beyond comprehension by those of us with any Moral Compass. It is truly a grief worse than the Death of a loved one because of the damage intentionally inflicted on another human being who was unaware of the Betrayal. This should be a criminal offense, instead they always Win .
