But it’s rewarding because you are able to fully let go and focus on healing. I believe they are meant to teach us hard lessons and self discovery. It’s never about a happy ending with a narc, EVER. They’re just meant to pass through and cause chaos, but help us in the long run.

The abuse gets really bad when you’ve finally realized you’re in an abusive relationship you can’t get out of, and so while you stop taking the bait, then you get criticized for being shut down all the time. She can’t say to this person, “I’m shut down because of the abuse,” because then she’ll REALLY fly into a NARCISSISTIC RAGE. You can’t gray rock them, and you can’t react to them either. You will attacked no matter what strategy you employ.

He insulted me, trying hard to pull me in, but I stayed calm and did not react. He seemed to get even angrier and more vindictive, and when he left me, he accused me of saying and doing things I never did, and “ arguing” with him. Wth?! You really can’t win with these people!

It's easy to justify behavior's that we don't understand or never been through! Because we as humans only know abuse as evident or obvious! We've never experienced hidden abuse! So early on we trust and believe this person that we believed loved us has our best entrance at heart! It actually takes repeated offenses for us to actually see what's really going on! My wakening moments was whenever I got the strength to leave taking him back was me believing that he was actually trying to work on himself! But then the patterns would start all over again! That's when I said to myself, clearly he knows how to behave, he just chooses not too! And that's what gave me the strength to leave!

We all bring something to the table, but he wanted me to be responsible for the reasons we’d ended, but it was him the whole time. He had the addictions, he had the hidden friends and other toxic things going on that ultimately caused the failures with us. He used to say “You act like I beat your ass or call you out your name and I’m this horrible guy” but it was the other subtle abuse and I couldn’t explain it to anyone! I just knew I always felt confused and kept trying to work on being a better person for him, for us. That makes me angry, but also relieved that I understand what happened. He’s still the same guy I met in 2010. He just picked up a few good habits from other people and learned to hide who he is better. But no real change at all! I was right about him in the beginning when I would call him out. He made me believe I was unreasonable and crazy so I doubted myself, but looking back, I had him figured out in the beginning. 🤦♀️

It is not just raging or insulting. It is the constant disapproval, everything you do is wrong, it comes in the form of disrespectful comments and gestures. It is also what they don't do, having a household with children and neglecting every single responsibility. It is being accused of being an abuser because you won't tolerate poor behavior. It is being treated all the time as if you owe them something. It is, after years of that, being brutally discarded and replaced and being made responsible for everything, cheating included.

You are amazing! SPOT ON!! Thank you for taking the time to reach out & help people understand these type of mind-$#@ks. You are saying EVERYTHING that took me MONTHS to unpack, break down & figure out! Down to belief systems & the discrepancy between your own perceptions of what "abuse" really is. What it looks like "for everyone else." And what that same concept looks like in your OWN LIFE. Everyone knows that when he beats the shit out of you, it's abuse. Everyone knows if he calls you a slew of horrible names, it's abuse. If hes unreasonably controlling with money, what you wear and/or who your friends can be, it's abusive. But there's far more insidiously abusive tactics in their tool box of bullshit than we're taught to look for that FLY UNDER THE RADAR for most people. And even fly under the radar for the victim's friends & family. At least for the first half of the "relationship." You have to seriously REWIRE your brain(belief system) to really wrap your mind around it. The further you get away from that crazy town, the clearer & clearer things become. And suddenly the relationship looks nothing like it did while you were actually in it. Chances are, you were always too busy defending why you lost your shit on him(after the first 7 times you talked/acted/asked respectfully....that you didnt have the energy to see the relationship as-a-whole and for what it really was. It totally sneaks up on you. *The Reactive Abuse "Trap" is also a whole other level that can add a ton of trauma & make it even harder to see your way out.

Thanks for this video, you really sum it up very clearly! One factor to add is the "frog in the hot water" effect. When the abuse is increased very gradually and is intersperced with good/normal treatment, you become habituated to be treated that way and it becomes harder to fully recognize it. And then there is the trauma bond/betrayal bond of intermittent reinforcement, which is a whole topic on its own.

Excellent! These are critical and powerful distinctions of what most of us go through in developing trauma, mistrust and depression. We believe so much that humans are inherently good and they must be right because no one would be an abuser. It must be our fault. Even when we realize the behavior is wrong we believe that all that has to happen now is to make it better, get help, change ourselves or be the support they need because they are suffering from a mental illness and we can be the support they never received. The best course of action is to leave but that concept is an even harder thing to wrap our brains and heart around. We don’t give up on our lovers, children, parents, grandparents, best friends, spouses or siblings etc. Thank you LBTM for this: (what’s really going on in our head and heart) Take off the rose coloured glasses, grasp realty and RUN AWAY FROM THEM AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!! 🙏🏼😊

Lacking social skills means it's always me who says things incorrectly and understand things incorrectly. When i said just because i have my own issues and limitations that doesn't mean you have no problem. My husband would basically laugh about it and said," you want to compare your problems with mine?"( It's like how dare you)," your problem is unchangeable, it impacts us way more than mine."

Creating 22.50 - losing almost all, after already losing almost all. Coming out of a long period of time trying to explain a better way for us, trying to save them from drowning, but now I have to save myself. Repetitive Compulsion compels us to repeat certain actions, especially the most painful ones - a subconscious motivation to repeat a circumstance in order to get it right. The child's true identity gets pushed underground in face of fear, neglect, so they try to follow the identity rules of the caregiver to please them, to become perfect, to get love and acceptance...but impossible in that dysfunctional family, so altered ego remains, true self is hidden resulting in shame, self hate. After trying to be perfect fails, we feel innately and fatally flawed in our parents eyes, other eyes, God's eye - I AM the flaw. We grow up and w/o healing get a partner with similar traits as parents, trying to repeat situation so we can finally have closure and make it right, be good enough.
