Break a Trauma Bond 6-Week Challenge:

They lie to get attention. They will destroy you for that attention

[stingray]

It is personal. The fact that they are reactive is very personal and can destroy you. I had false allegations placed against me and police called bc they only think about themselves. The idea that i was no longer interested in listening to the lies was enough to exact revenge. Case was dismissed but those things are still written about me and will draw questions in my career.

Straight facts. Years ago when our kiddos were small, I tried to talk to my ex about getting life insurance & talking about what would happen to me & our if he were to pass away, etc. His response? He shrugged & said “why the f*ck would I care. I’ll be dead’, said it with an evil smirk on his face.

Sometimes, It is personal.. This is just a part of my long nightmare. My husband and I were mentally and verbally abused by our evil narcissistic demon of an adult daughter, For years. It got so bad that the stress cause an emotional breakdown for my husband, One day he started crying uncontrollably with him gasping for air ( this is a guy that never cried because of his upbringing of men don't cry ) He was asking what he did wrong on raising her to be so evil then he collapsed and took his last breath 4 years and 8 months ago. She always had anger issues since she was a teen, but we chopped it up as just being a teen and hormons since she seemed to be a very well-rounded person overall. We noticed the changes in her as she got older and thought she was bipolar. But it was too late for us to get her help because she was over 18. She wouldn't amit that she has mental problems and get help. By the time I learned about narcissism, it was too late. The trauma damage was already done. In those horrible years of walking on eggshells, she had us under her control because she was kicked out of her ex-husband's home for stepping out on him and the trauma she caused. She ended back with us because she was homeless and 3 months pregnant with another's man child. So, of course, we took her in. She was lying from the start, telling us her marriage failed because he was abusing her physically. I know different now. We tried to help her, going through her pregnancy and the birth, then she couldn't handle being a mother. She wouldn't do what a mother should do and we ended up raising our grandson until he was 6 years old.
She hunted down for a new supply because my husband became disabled and we couldn't give her a free ride anymore. We asked her to start paying her own way because if she didn't we would end up homeless. That pissed her off, and she really got bad. She finally found a nieve 24 year old guy, 6 years younger than her, Within 3 months, she manipulated and lied to him and they moved in together. Then she trapped him by getting pregnant. My husband I ended up homeless with her stalking us and still messing with our heads using our grandson against us. Then my husband died. She destroyed me beyond repair. I have been abandoned by everyone, ... She made sure of that with her lies.. I went no contact but it is slowly killing me from the inside out. I can't have a relationship with my grandson. I can't function anymore. I'm the one who is at fault somehow. And you know what.. I'm starting to believe I must be. I'm just a failure and a lost cause.. I can not heal . It hurts so much. I'm so tired of trying. I just want to die.

Navigating Narcissists: Empowering Communication Strategies by Danielle Radin

[Arcturus]

It must be irritating that he didn't need you.

[mobileradiofitter]

Its because they don't value you at all, I think alot of people underestimate they don't have apathy. It's not there.

[slyfly]

She was angry because she was addicted to Coke and not getting it anymore made her bipolar

[xkaxsky.]

We should stop demonizing narcissists. I don’t think it’s productive. I think they should get help so they can live a normal life and have lasting healthy relationships.

[mandy]

I’m sorry but this is bull$hit!! It’s books and advice like this that is keeping my mom married to an abusive narcissist!!! There should be no “Navigating”, there should only be leaving and protecting yourself and the children from Narcissists. This woman’s advice is stupid and dangerous.
