Because of the tremendous increase in narcissism, I’m beginning to be convinced it is a evil spirit

[shaeholden]

Every word you've spoken here is true. Because I'm a Christian I was especially bound by a commitment to not divorce...and when I did go to church leaders I was consistently told to "learn how to live with him." It was only when I was seriously considering suicide that I finally started using the brain that God gave me and left. I am still healing from the ravages of it all. And I also have a different perspective about "church" authority. Thank you for your helpful information.

I keep my distance from any narcissist. Whether it be my family, neighbors, etc. I pray for people from afar but you ain't coming close to me with that demonic energy and toxicity. God warns us to stay away from people like that and I do.

[jimmybeavis]

Craziest thing is a narcissist will call you out for being a narcissist. It's best to just walk away.

[omahaw]

I stayed with my Narcissist husband for 29 years because I thought God wanted me to stay with him no matter how I was treated.

[fxfgbml]

My husband has so many things wrong with him that I can't deal with him anymore, I'm looking for a way out because he controls all the money and I only get an allowance. He has destroyed my health, but God is so good that he is still healing my body.

[sasharemez]

I used to think I could help my covert husband. I thought my love and sacrifices would turn him around. I’m about 6.5 years I was destroyed mentally and physically. And when I called out to God and asked Him what to do, He sternly told me to leave! I asked Him when, and He even gave me a date. I couldn’t make myself to pack to go, I was so depleted. Then my friend called me (she didn’t know what God told me), and she said God moved her to tell me pack lightly. I left so many important to me things behind. I took bare minimum for myself and kids. Just a couple suitcases and documents. This is what narcissists do, they destroy everyone around them, and their goal is not to change.
It took me a year to recover, and I am so happy I left.

PROVERBS 6:16-19
16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict

[Lilmommabear]

Pretty much no matter what you do and say it's always your fault!

[christinagarcia]

They believe that forgiveness means that we are required to have a relationship with them

[Zona-dwrp]

My former spouse is a narcissist. I thank God that she is now out of my life so that I can finally live. However, a lot of damage was done. Thank you, Jesus.

[johnrogers]

Thanks for your insight Kris,
I’m a 68 year old man that existed with a wife who was so deep in Cluster B that the overlap between the 4 groups made her impossible to be diagnosed because she was such a good actress. Deceived counselors quite well. Divorced now with a very stunted 18 year old son living with me who doesn’t want anything to do with her. That’s sad. Thanks to God for exposing the problem before she completely destroyed the boy and I completely. The financial devastation is bad enough but we can live with that. Thanks to God for a church family that could see clearer than I and stood with my son and I through the most difficult time in my life. Thanks to God for the Family Court judge that wasn’t fooled. Just thanks to God for everything.
May God’s blessings be upon you, yours and your career.

[VoxLesPaul]

The hardest part of being a Christian married to a narcissist is that we feel heavily bound to our wedding vows; we experience cognitive dissonance between our wedding vows, Jesus proclamation of "hardness of heart" (Matt 19:8), and the narcissist's campaign of deception and manipulation. This video helped a lot.

[pattyterry]

Thank you!! Biblical teachers seldom teach about this. Most of them just tell us we’re supposed to love everyone. This is about setting protective boundaries and guarding your heart. We can still love and pray for them BUT that doesn’t mean to be a part of their life. A loving parent doesn’t want their children to be friends with people like this. Our Father in heaven doesn’t want us to be friends with them either because He loves us!

[curtisboggs]

as a retired psychotherapist, I can say that God does not want us living with abuse period. However, it is important to consider that the general culture we live in now is what I call self absorbed. Therefore, some consideration needs to be given to that in terms of separating ones individual make up vs cultural formation. Ultimately, one needs to hear from Holy Spirit for discernment.

[camarorules]

My poor mother thought being in subjection to your husband was the right thing to do. She is gone but my hope is one day she can realize her worth and that she did not have to put up with the abuse she endured. I love you so much mom

[Opinionated-Angel]

I am not a Christian, but I really like what you have to say. I am Jewish, and have dealings with gaslighters and narcissists. I don't go near them. They blame everyone else for their stuff and don't take any accountability or responsibility for their behaviour. They deliberately make another person feel worthless. I don't go near people like that anymore.

[time__get_ready]

You're so right about the narcs SAYING they forgive but then live out contempt and hatred towards you.
The thing I hate most is when they say, "I'll pray for you" 🤢

[LovingLightx]

I dated a narcissist briefly for two months and I heard Jesus literally in my head say to me you must end this NOW! I did as instructed as I truly love and trust in Our Lord Jesus Christ and after ending it and going no contact I was offered up an extreme amount of information on NPD, having absolutely no clue on the disorder. Thank you Jesus for your love, protection and guidance. I’ve been healing as narcissistic abuse can open the door to other trauma and my peace has returned. My heart goes out to those who have been in long term relationships with narcissists. I do not wish any ill on others but for me going no contact and trusting in God has worked wonders, my eyes have been truly opened to people and their bad intentions towards me now and I cannot unsee, nor would I want to. If you can get out please get out and stay out.
