Are y’all with me on this⁉️🤔
Drop a 💯 if you agree & felt this!

They make you feel like it's your job to fix them.

The trauma can be understood only by people that experienced it

😩Hardest part for me “Anger from realizing that you were manipulated from day 1”

[leafyveins]

In relationships, narcissists start out by perfectly mirroring habits, morals, values, etc. of their target. So, the biggest comfort to me is knowing that it is actually myself, or rather my morals, values, etc., that I fell in love with. I had no self esteem or confidence in who I was when I met him, so this has been a healing thing for me to know.

The whole thing is soul crushing. You stay traumatized for years, sometimes a lifetime.

“A trauma bond is when someone forms a deep emotional attachment with someone who causes them harm.”

[alloftheabove]

This is exactly how it feels and you love them as much as you love your own child and realize they never even loved you

[lafemmesociety]

It’s facing reality that you lived a lie

If narcissist let you go when you leave them, you are lucky enough. Healing will take time.

[RaquelU]

Thank you for this. I walked away from a narcissist after 20 years; 20 years of barely living, just existing.

[Robbie]

As someone who has been through this, you explained it perfectly.

[jenniferbogart]

The trauma lasts with you a lifetime, and It is very hard to let anyone in after a relationship like that.

[jill]

It is incredibly painful, because you realize that the person you loved doesn't really exist. They were an imposter, and in many cases, a monster. Trying to make sense of it can drive you insane.

[CathyLunardi]

This hits home, big time. Married over 33 years, together over 36. The pain is indescribable, unless you've lived it. I did survive, I am surviving but it was not easy to realize the man I loved and chose to spend my life with, wasn't real. I am happy now and in love and it feels amazing. Your words resonate in me and I thank you ❤

[nancysmith]

I did it, I survived, I was traumatized, I learned :
🌟Don’t ever think you can change a person!!!
🌟I didn’t do anything but hurt myself!!!
🌟It’s not my job to fix anybody but myself!!!
🌟I will never give my soul, mind, or body to anyone.
🌟I am whole and complete the way God made me and I Love that !!!

This was my last relationship before my husband. If there is a silver lining for my story it is that I found my True Love after that nightmare.

[RepentTimeIsAtHand]

Praying for all who have been in this torment.
May the peace of the Lord come upon you.🤍🕊
In Jesus name

Especially a Narcissist with a PhD in GASLIGHTING. The worse 🤬🤬🤬

[hquinn]

"Mourning the loss of someone that NEVER existed" hit me hard. I broke up with mine the same week my mother passed away. That was SIX YEARS ago. I'm better now and with someone even better, but from time to time when my triggers are set the trauma comes back all over again.
