Absolutely this! it's the cruellest, most brutal soul destroying experience to endure. i used a similar way of trying to explain my ex to someone, saying "he's like Ted Bundy without the physical 💀 count, but on every other level". his abuse was soul destroying i struggle to find words to explain it, but its corroded every fibre of my being

It’s so hard to cope with too because for me I understood that the relationship was damaging me psychologically but it took a long time for me to understand why, then when I started talking about it it felt like I had to convince some people how bad it was if they hadn’t gone through it themselves. The ones that had were the ones who slowly started walking me through it

💯 Sweetie and as previously spoken , the word “ Narcissist “ has become the latest new age crazy word! They do tend to prey on empaths and the ones that live hard and deep and just want to, “fix the wounded bird”. well said lovely. And don’t think you’re ever gonna be safe and stable. That’s a dream. It will never end well .

My husband shuts me down every time I talk about him and his BEST FRIEND a female that he had a long term ( before me relationship) FRIEND. If I bring up something that upset me I get “ that’s in the past , forget about it. The past could be a few days or weeks and he refuses to own up to things he did wrong .

Exactly. They keep missing the point. Everyone is on his side because he shines. Everyone keeps encouraging me to stay. 😭😭😭

It was interesting that until I suffered covert narcissistic abuse in a business relationship did I realize that I grew up with it. It’s never too late for recovery.

Saw all the signs in my cousin/best friend - we only had limited contact from 2004 to 2020 because she moved away then when she got back I moved away. When I got back she welcomed me back into her world but constantly tried to control me. I noted it all, big blowup recently, she’s trying to ruin my life still 5 months later. I’m got a psych degree but I gave her the benefit of the doubt waaaaay too many times. Still dealing with her smear campaign.

It wasn’t until trump became President in 2017 and the press would discuss his narcissistic traits. I’d listen to these things and found myself saying, ‘that what she does. That what she says. She says the same things to her (our) friends’ etc. It was a revelation for me to realise what I was experiencing for all those years prior.

Therapist and narcissistic abuse survivor- I couldn’t understand it until it happened to me. Now, I explain it to my client and they say “OMG that’s it, I just didn’t have the words” ❤️

You definitely need a therapist who’s been there and survived it.

I agree, that is why I don't say that my ex was narcissist because I don't know. The only thing I know he was an abuser. Same with my mom. She was abusive. Until person is actually diagnosed with NPD you cannot claim they were NPD. There are many psychological disorders that abusive people can have.

💯 I wish everyone knew this. I have not found a therapist that understands and they use me as a platform to recite what they read about narcissists but it’s the broad selfish, low empathy, blah blah. They don’t understand what happened to me and can’t help me.

My therapist asked me if this was the first time somebody broke up with me!?. Therapist could not understand what I was going through was a trauma bond and a sudden discard after 13 yrs. So important to find the right therapist to assist you.
