@phillipcdugas1: Too many men think cutting off a narcissistic woman is about teaching her a lesson. That mindset will make you break no contact the second you feel the urge to prove a point. But here’s the truth: No contact isn’t revenge—it’s recovery. One man told me he broke no contact 6 times before finally holding the line—and he said the 7th time felt like freedom for the first time in years. Another brother shared that when he stopped reacting, even his kids started respecting him more. They saw calm. They saw strength. They saw the man he truly is. The hardest part of no contact isn’t her. It’s you. The battle inside your own head. The withdrawal, the urge to check her social media, the desire to respond just once. But that’s exactly why staying strong matters—because silence breaks the cycle of control. 👉 If you’re serious about healing from narcissistic abuse, remember: Your reaction is her reward. Your silence is your strength. Stay strong. Stay steady. Stay narc-free. #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticex #narcissism #narc
