The Royal We has helped Millions to escape the grip of narcissistic abuse. Here’s a deeper look into what narcissistic abuse looks like and steps to heal from it... It’s Okay to Admit You Hate the Narcissist’s Behavior

Narcissistic abuse looks like:

Lack of Empathy: Narcissists often show little to no empathy for others, making it easy for them to manipulate and exploit. Narcissists use various tactics such as gaslighting, love bombing, and devaluation to control and dominate their victims.

Common Tactics Used in Narcissistic Abuse:

Gaslighting: Making the victim doubt their own reality and sanity.
Love Bombing: Showering the victim with excessive attention and affection to gain control.

Devaluation: Undermining the victim’s self-worth through criticism, belittling, and emotional neglect.

Isolation: Cutting the victim off from their support systems to increase dependency on the abuser.

Triangulation: Using others to create jealousy or competition, keeping the victim feeling insecure.

I finally have gone NO CONTACT from my toxic, negative family. I live for God and I finding peace and moving forward.

[politicjunkee]

There can be forgiveness without reconciliation. Never feel guilty for that.

[izawaniek]

You have nailed it Kevin! Walk away from your family not because they are toxic or non-toxic but because you want to answer the God’s calling and have a different life, a life that is yours! Thank you for this great message.

[gerryhatrick]

I have ZERO problem putting a period there and moving on. Or as I like to say, Exiled for the good of the Realm. I have a limited time on this earth, and I refuse to let anyone steal happiness from it.

[dianep]

I call them "DNA relations" 'cos they ain't family. When I was young I felt a little guilt at first, but the older I get and more I learn about psychology, I realize walking away was truly the right thing to do. When looking at them objectively as "people I know" they appear as people I wouldn't even want as co-workers, neighbors, or friends. So why feel any guilt about going no contact?

I'm turning 44 tomorrow and have finally made the decision to depart from my family. It's a tough decision, but I've never felt accepted or understood by them.

[Islandgirl]

I’m not walking away bc they’re toxic and I hate them. I’m walking bc they’re toxic and I love them. I’ve been taking their abuse, bc I love them, and they know this. They never apologize, they only deny. In order for me to be with them, it’s an unspoken agreement that they continue to do it and I continue to take it.

[knowjamaica]

I walked away 7 yrs and then a death of one of them cause me to go back and was met with worse negatives than before so here I go again. At least the second time around is easier. I’m way more peaceful and the lord has helped me through it all. Thank you Jesus.

[amyj.]

If you stay with your family, you won't get anymore out of your life. Than what they have. I don't want to live, limited. I want something different, out of life.

[LadyBug]

You are right it is called conditioning and manipulation. I used to be loyal to a fault until the Lord taught me healthy boundaries. I had to leave in order to be healthy and be all God created me to be.

I have successfully cut off all narcissistic family members... took me a while but l don't feel bad now at all. I only have me now to worry about...its freeing not lonely❤

[AndreaPortley]

This message is so on time and on point! My toxic narcissistic aunt is constantly stirring up mess and she’s telling people I changed my name because I’m ashamed of who I am, I’m guilty for harboring hatred towards the family, and my mom has turned me against the family! I’ve also hated being around my toxic narcissistic aunt while growing up. Changed my name, changed my life, changed my mind set and relocated to a new city. New life in a new city new everything. No regrets!!!

[elbereth]

I'm nt sure if you read comments but I want you to know this is what I badly needed to give me courage to finally walk away from my dysfunctional, toxic, manipulative, victim blaming, family.

[kingdomheiress]

I had posted a couple of years ago how I had moved far away from my toxic family but my nephew took his own life in 2020 😔 so I moved back “thinking” his death would propel some type of reconciliation between us all. It all backfired. My sister, whom is the most toxic and violent person I’ve ever known, is even worse now. She uses her son’s death for sympathy and everyone walks on eggshells more than ever. My brother and his GF is about to have his first baby and I would love to be here to build a bond with my new niece since I haven’t been able to with my sisters children through the years because of her nonsense BUT I’m contemplating moving away again. I have gotten extremely sick with stress by moving back here and cannot live like this. I’ll be 50 next month and don’t want to spend the rest of my life where I am not appreciated nor wanted. This video confirmed to me once again why I need to stay away. Thank you.

[brooke]

It's not you. It's me. I'm not stepping back from you. I'm stepping into my purpose.

[tracycampbell]

It got so incredibly wicked I had to go no contact

[queenofyoworld]

When you tell someone your problems or dreams, see how they react. Some people are not for you. I wasted so much time having to watch my back, in a toxic environment. Today I learned who took me off their newsfeed on Facebook. It says a lot about some of my Facebook buddies. I snoozed my friends for 30 days, instead of losing my composer. Time I get my life in order, not everyone's going to like me. Some people are jealous. Some people are stuck in my past. Some people just don't understand where I come from. Some people love to assassinate my character and look down at me. I am a survivor. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, time I walked away and better myself. You have to look out for number , no one else will. You have to stay strong. There are people that are happy to see you fail. Watch your back move on. Choose wisely how you fight your battles.

[feverthedream]

Thank you, all I've ever wanted is a different life, a life free from constant hurting. I'm doing this for me.

I walked away to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. After 7 years as a born again Christian serving and getting to know God I was told by the Lord to leave the only life I had known. Just like Abraham I was told to go to a place that the Lord would show me. I did not comprehend leaving. I was witnessing and waiting for my family to come to faith. And questioning why my prayers weren't being answered and the doors weren't opening in my hometown. My family was still rejecting the gospel and me. My family was and still is extremely toxic. I knew that if I stayed that would be my life and I wasn't settling for less than God's plan for my life. So I took the leap of faith. It has been a long hard road, but I do not regret it. I do know God and His true nature than most because I have had to press in to know Him and trust Him every step of the way

[LadyBug]

I might add as an unchurched youth raised in an abusive, sex, drugs and alcohol environment I hated the lifestyle and saw it as evil. I made a decision early on that I was going to be different. That I would not live like that. It did not seem to disturb my siblings as much as me. Others noticed I was different than my family and would ask me why? I didn't know it at the time. But looking back after my born again experience, I realized I was chosen by God at an early age. My siblings continue to follow in our parents footsteps. I was the only one to get out by the grace of God
