Change your beliefs to heal from narcissistic abuse

[carospereman]

This quote from Shakespare changed my life after narc abuse from family and partner. "Nothing is good or bad, only thought makes it so." So powerful when your healing.

I think objectively we can all agree that getting abused by someone is a bad thing and I think quoting the "nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so" just further shames victims back into silence and complicity in their inherently objectively abusive family systems, abusive marriages, abusive friendships, and abusive situationships.

That's like saying, "Abuse isn't inherently abusive, only thinking makes it so."

We have spent years trying to convince ourselves that we were NOT getting abused.

I did not spend 32 years in and out of therapy and recovery work to hear that what I went through wasn't abuse but only thinking it makes it so.

No. Just no.

There's nothing good about being brainwashed into accepting abuse and being groomed to depend on your abusers so that you can never leave them or that you won't make it in this world without them if you do manage to try to escape and break free.

Haha, this is toxic positivity. Not going to accept my abuse wasnt that bad, or she wasnt a crappy human.

Facts are facts man.
