🔴 New Course: Unplug From The Matrix Of Narcissism

[liverfish]

Even when you can, it's so easy to be sucked in for a while, before you can see it. But at least you can see it.

I married a narc with a super narc family. The ex never spoke to me and his narc parents never spoke to us. I managed to stay above it for 20 years of marriage with this satanic silence that his parents and him gave me. Then the marriage ended. The silent abuse lowered my self esteem to zero. I kept soldiering in. Until coming across professional like you on UTube and narcissism and how every word you spoke I went through. That healed me ad well as all the NO Contact to all the Narcs, now I’m healed. Thank you for all your support.

Yes. Finally I am able to not react. It’s been a long journey to get here. 2years. Worth every moment.
Being able to control my emotions is a super power. I’m am not perfect. I have slipped up, but I easily correct it now. I’ve learned the power of silence.

I feel the more healing you’ve done and want to safe guard your inner peace - you’ll have no time for toxicity whether it family or anybody else! That’s why I have dogs, unconditionally love and just a pure joy every time I come home!!! 😊

I blocked/canceled the toxic people in my life to be able to heal from the emotional/mental trauma that were heaped on me while growing up. I will never again let anybody rob me of my self-esteem and value as a human being. I now know my worth and don’t give a rat’s ass what other people think.

With family (siblings) when I meet up I still feel being sucked in. I'm on high alert and take in everything. It takes time to process everything afterwards. Half the time I still get sucked in. Its a brain strain and i know its pointless addressing their behaviours at that exact time when they are presenting their traits. Ive lived in a false sense of family and now know that I am on my own. Feels like such a grand loss.

I think if one can step into an " observation mood and let go", you can survife.

[macareuxmoine]

This is a very good definition of what having healed means.

[Love_GSDs]

Eventually you end up having to distance yourself...

[barbarablackburn]

Observe versus interacting...creating distance, a buffer. Bringing expectations - yes of dignity, respect and civility. Becoming trauma - politely excuse myself ...

[jillyoung]

So strange that this came up tonight, as something happened, and I passed the test! I feel very happy with myself. 😂

[romanastrasheim]

Took me 4 years, ... I feel sorry for them ...they are 'hurt souls' ...

[RinaBurch-lvre]

I actually did pretty well with my husband for over 40 years but then it was my son who triggered me… I couldn’t handle the triangular relationship and told him one of us was going to have to leave… Well, it ended up being me… I was belittled for mentioning therapy… While I enjoy the peace and quiet now… I do miss them

[claudiasbarra]

They also (that us my personal thought) have an energyfield like a tornado sucking our energy out of us and creating a Desaster.

[mongoose]

Didnt realise at first but as the years rolled by, wow, underestimated how it would develop.

[johnmcgowen]

I did it for the first 15 years. The last 5 years were hell before the divorce.

[katiesimpson]

My ex is a narc as is most of his family. I lasted 7 yrs with him before divorcing him.
However, we have a child together, so I still have exposure.
Listening to this fellow helps tremendously.
They'll never change & once I realized this the healing can begin.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

[piano_man]

Thank you Richard & AI - good timing

[ddean]

Why would anyone want to, even when it's family?

[AngelEyes-xmel]

Oh lots of therapy. I was totally taken off guard not one narcissist but 3 in the room. Damn
