You can love someone, forgive them, and pray for them FROM AFAR--keep your distance.

[almostbetterthanmartha]

I just got a divorce from my narcissist husband of 27 years. This wasn't easy. I didn't make this decision. Because there wasn't physical abuse, I asked for his grace to get me through until the kids were grown. I did get to a point of not defending, engaging, explaining, etc. There was infidelity, however I was willing to forgive and go on. I prayed for YEARS that the Lord would come into his being Because I knew that was the only hope for our marriage. It broke my heart it never happened. I finally prayed the dreaded prayer once my kids were grown that if its His will, the Lord set me free from this relationship. He did. My ex divorced me. I'm still healing. God is still good.

"Sometimes we spend so much time making people feel comfortable in their sin, we don't let them hit rock bottom." ooh, so true.

[donnebonne]

We have fear of confrontation because we've been gaslighted and we projected upon our whole life.

[laraparks]

I want them to be self sufficient so that they stop asking me for things.
I want them to deal with their issues instead of taking their frustrations out on me.😮

My toxic mom doesn’t accept any boundaries, she if offended by everything. So many times I practiced my speech but every time I start she is such a good master to twist my every single word so I end up apologizing or she won’t talk to me for a months. After one of these situations she left and staying offended for 5 years now.

[pattyrooney]

I was actually trying to like my "older" sister. Now, I love her distantly.

[staciehaneline]

You are absolutely right. Abuse should not be tolerated. The Church is wrong to criticize you. Your scripture-based ministry is saving souls. ✝

[triciaainsworth]

This has helped me so much! I have struggled with codependency my whole life. Only within the past few years I have been able to recognize this behavior in myself. Jesus is healing me. I am learning boundaries.

[lovearttherapyalways]

Finally someone who applies the truth of God's word to tough issues of life! Thank you! God bless you!!!!

[livebydesignlaurie]

If there's a lie that you're believing, there's a truth you're not receiving! 💥❤

[beverlyschell]

I've struggled with codependency. I have enabled mentally & emotionally abusive behavior. Thank you for tackling this topic with such a strong Christian focus.

[cxckgxi]

I've been married to a narc and was miserable. Church people said I was to submit to him as it was Biblical . I then went to a Christian counselor and she said the rest of the verse was as the husband submits to the Lord. Thank you Chris for not sugar coating what narcs do and how we as Christians, need to heal from their abuse. I love your use of scriptures with what you advise. Thank you for helping so many people deal with this evil.

[sunnygirl]

Worth listening to the whole video especially if you have big problems with family or friends.  
1. You stay silent which equals agreement with the toxic behavior.
2. You struggle with your own boundaries and the boundaries of other people. You don't let people carry their own load.
3. You give to others to get something out of it. This is a manipulation and also a sign of "codependency".
4. You are being abused physically OR mentally/emotionally. This is evil, destructive behavior that you are choosing to participate in. Stop trusting the abuser. Get away from the abuser. (A dominant personality is not necessarily abusive)

[marjattaelliott]

I have an adult daughter with borderline personality disorder. She has messed her life very badly time after time, and I felt reponsible to help because of the grandchildren. Until I became so exhausted I had to move to an other part of Finland to recovet emotinaly . I thank God that I found this ministry.

[abbeypoteet]

You're not tearing families apart, you're helping broken people from already torn apart families that are being held together with various forms of manipulation and toxic deceit. Thanks for all of you help!

[estellewadsworth]

FEEDING ADDICTIONS IS UNGODLY. BUT LOOKING AFTER THE POOR IN CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL AND THERE IS NO WORK . YES YOU FEED YOU GIVE YOU HELP

[TanieBaker]

Great video topic. I remember when my mom was so mean to me at times. And I never reacted. I decided to kill her with kindness hoping that if I’m nice she will stop. So the meaner she was the nicer I was. And it was like she saw what I was trying to do and wanted to keep pushing me until she got a reaction. She went out her way to hurt me. Said some really hurtful things and I just took it. She broke my heart. A women who abandoned me as a child and we reconnected when I was a young adult and moved in with her. Very bad mistake. We’ve been estranged now for over 10 years.

My sister would say I divided our family because I chose to finally confront and walk away from my family of origin. She twisted scripture to fit her and my dad’s behavior. But there was no fruit in keeping with repentance. That’s where the clarity must come from.

[Legacykshort]

Say that again! I'm not responsible. He's an adult now & CHOOSES to make bad decisions. I've set my boundaries. He's used EVERY manipulation tactic imaginable. God has been speaking deep into my heart about this. He literally said, 'He's mine to handle now.' Thank you Jesus. I'm absolutely looking for respect, a loving relationship, & for him to be able to stand FIRMLY on his own. That is ALL!
