[@starseedlightworker6539]

Yes , spot on, my father went from my narc mom, to another narc (still is today) when i was 5-6 y/o. I did cut relations in 2020, i had enough of her, also they were going to get married and I don't even know if it happened. You are describing my narc step mom, my father does everything for her, and is treated like a dog. If only he would find out he deserves better, but he's been with her for 25+ years.

@narcabusecoach Bhai I have a narcissistic Husband. And i totally agree with you. In Hinduism we believe that when you marry someone you share karmas with each other, karmas not only from that person present life but past, also family karmas. So here if the person has family history of narcissist then their karmas come to you. So you have to face those karma too. I am into spirituality and I am sure you will understand what I am saying. Some Narcissist are energy vampires too, they unknowingly start to understand which person has positive vibes. And they will be so nice to you so they can attract you in their life. And suck all that is positive in you including your energies and live on them. May be the Narcissist will take everything you have and then leave you. But Narcissist who is a energy vampire will never let you go. Because even if they have sucked all the materialistic things from you they still feed on your positive energy. And this keeps you empty as you said empty shell. This you can be seen if you observe symptoms, you are always having health issues. Love and Light to You ❤️ Keep up the good work God bless.

[@simonpegg1196]

Actually, being with a narc in any capacity or relationship is a nightmare, especially if one's parent(s) is/are narcs.

[@dianelopez8344]

Being married to the narcissist is a nightmare!! The beginning is blissful and always about you and your happiness and they go above and beyond to make sure that everything you expect and want in a marriage and settling down having children, the white picket fence, etc. They are the only one who will ever give everything you wish for and some!? Afterwords you start to see and experience things are not what they promised and portrayed. Little by little the years start to become unsettling and the narcissist mask starts to slip but you are making excuses for their actions, not having you being their number one priority and them going above and beyond to helping you achieve or have the love they portrayed from the beginning!! The years become a decade and you have children with them and you are also holding down a full time job, taking care of your kids, chores, cooking, running your kids to school events, after school activities, whatever it may be!! You become the Mom/ Dad and have to hold everything together as well as do everything alone with no help from the Narc. You tend to Narc’s needs as well but never get anything in return and he forgets about you, any needs and doesn’t care about you, anniversaries, birthdays, alone time with the Narc or take you out. Only to his events ( when they arise.) to his family and flying monkeys events that you start to become distant from others as they treat you disrespected and alone. The alone time becomes Narc’s time to what matters most to him ( his family, flying monkeys) and nothing else!! Years become decades and your self worth, health, all are going downhill and you make excuses trying to do and find the love and life before being married to him!! Never happens and you are willing to keep trying to make excuses, things better, etc. Later comes the devaluation and keeps on throughout the years and now you find yourself without family and friends because you are hiding your relationship from everyone pretending everything is fine better than fine because you hear about their relationships , family and their marriages and what they are doing, going or all the vacations together, whatever it may be. It hurts and your wondering why we cannot have or spend time doing the same things or anything!? The abuse starts in from the beginning of marriage little by little and through the decades of mental abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse and becomes physical. You hide it from everyone and yourself!!!!!!! As time goes by the Narcissist not only is abusing you he financially ruined you and stole all your money’s, assets and the list goes on ! When you have beyond proof ( as his lies always catch up ) you want answers and feel like, We Can Fix It and Make It Work Again!? NOT You are now Discarded by Narc. Not told one thing and they Shun you!? WTH !? Who and what is this person??? Now that your kids are adults themselves, the Narc/ Father tries to become their best friend, The Father of The Year and brainwashes them by blaming everything on you!! Supposedly I never did anything or contributed financially, and I walked out of our marriage and I’m at fault for everything!! Everything we hide from the abuse being married to the Narcissist is humiliating and hurtful and it will come out at the end of the divorce!? But we hide all because we are in denial and wanting it to work! We have nothing or no one but the love of our kids that the narcissist is brainwashing them and controlling them to his sickness and lies!! The narcissist is only out to take and destroy an innocent person who will go above and beyond in hopes.. I still cannot understand how I got so manipulated in his sickness and making me out to be the monster that he is!!!! The fight for my freedom and our kids is something I wouldn’t want anyone to ever experience or live with. There is so so much more that the Narc/ husband has/ is doing to me that I cannot even write about. 😢 Sorry for the long reply God help us all married or not married ever being involved and experiencing the torture and abuse that they install on us 🙏🏼

I was stuck in this miserable marriage with a narcissist, he self destructed, and he died. I cried, grieved, but everything he died came out after he died. Cheating, lying, didn't appreciate me, no give and take. Sorry, not sorry he's dead. I really loved this man. He had a very abusive childhood, but I don't feel deserved this abuse. He ruined not just my life, but my children's I believe they are all narcissist like him. Thank you, I resonate with this all. it's been 2 years, and healing is coming slowing. My healing evolves getting rid of all his bread crumb junk, hoarding, cleaning and making this my home. I actually burned his clothes, and junk, he refused to let me get rid off, and sold a lot too. His precious jeep, sold. It's been a relief of not having to deal with this man, has finally given me peace.

The adage, “The way a man treats his mother is how he will treat his wife,” does not apply to the narcissistic mother/narcissistic son duo. He fears her as a greater predator and tends to walk on eggshells around her. He will treat his wife worse. Marriage is a trap because the abuse is insidious, cumulative and becomes normalized. The narcissist quit working and left me as the breadwinner. Once at work when I was told the checks were not ready, I said, “My husband will be mad at me.” The boss said, “It is not my fault that you have problems in your marriage.” I thought, “Problems in my marriage? I don’t have problems in my marriage.” But I did. I ignored the red flags of infidelity thinking that I could not survive on my own. With a serial cheater, those flags never stop waving. I broke the trauma bond when I realized that I had no choice but to make my own way in the world if I wanted to survive.

My ex had a narssistic mother. She and he treated me like they were in charge of me. First I thought it was her who was in charge till we emigrated to an other country. Than I found out it was him too. I was on my own, with our children, and felt so lonely in this marriage. But I also could see and feel what he was doing to me and the children. I told him that I thought he didn't like woman and he didn't like children and maybe also not himself. Bit by bit I unraveled what he did to me and he was totally not happy with me. When he found a new girlfriend he asked for a divorce. He made the divorce so complicated for me. I found out he had for years and years a hidden agenda, hidden bank accounts a lot of things he had hidden for me. He had a life next to the life we had "together". He had asked his new wife to marry him when she had a depression and stopped working. So she also became dependant on him. Now she is probably controlled by him. (Narssistic people can smile with their mouth but, not with their eyes/heart. They are dead and cruel inside.)

Marriage to a narcissist DESTROYED my life. They put you down slowly over time and then follow it up by doing very small things to show you they “love” you, things that overtime you begin to see are breadcrumbs, like getting flowers after 5 years…but after so much passive aggressive behavior for years, those flowers are like your world while deep deep down inside the expectation that this small kindness will be paid for in cruel ways….and every time you try to run, they scare you into thinking you will be poor or unwanted without them…but you are so torn up by this point it’s like you are barely holding onto your sanity.

I think my dear Mum had gone through this. After 62 years of frequent abuse, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Her own Mum (my dear Nan), was 3 months shy of her 100th when she passed. My Nan had married a violent abuser but got away early on. Her 2nd husband was wonderful and he passed about a decade before her. She lived with Mum and Dad from about 92 years old (kept my father in check), but after my father forced my mother to abandon her mother at the cheapest nursing home 6 years later. My father told my mother after they moved into their new home which had plenty of room, either she (my Mum), comes alone or not at all (or similar). My Nan had to live with my brother who was a smoker and heavy drinker. and his young kids in his small house for a while until she ended up having a fall - because it was not designed for an elderly person in mind- and became bedridden. I was living overseas during all this and none of my siblings told me WTH was going on. I certainly would’ve made it clear my father’s callous disgusting behavior would be called out very loud and very clear and would never have allowed my Nan to be out in such a position. I was lied to. Mum told me this 3 weeks before she died and how she regretted it and was traumatized abandoning her own mother being forced to by my father. Mum Was given 3 to 6 months, was dead in 10 weeks with never really having her pain controlled until her last 2 weeks in hospital away from the dementor that was sucking out her life force at the same time verbally shoving 💩 down her throat as often as possible. Some things I will never unsee and they will be a constant reminder as to why I need to remain in no contact. This dementor has never been held accountable for his violence, cruelty, physical and verbal abuse and domestic violence and child abuse committed against my mother and 4 of us 5 kids. The golden child was only ever smacked once. Maybe karma will pay a visit as I believe what goes around comes around.

Being with my ex narc for the past 8 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing. My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’. Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :) Additionally I got to know about my narc husband bad ways when I reach out to a private detective [e-mail] for help he did a perfect work for me I can see everything he’s doing on his device.

Although I was 16 and the narcissist was 17 years old… you hit the nail on the head for me! Working full time, all the cooking, all the cleaning, I was never good enough, 3 kids, 5 horses, 2 dogs with litters 2/4/11 puppies, 1 large bird. I even went to college at night to be a nurse and he said: why do you want to do that? To wipe people’s A$$? 😔 cheated on me and a used me of cheating on me to the point that he tried to have a man fired from his job! Divorced after 18 years, took all the liquid assets (tripled the $), was paying child support directly (my attorney sucked!) stopped paying, took out youngest daughter so he apuntar have to pay me child support (I kept middle one); harassed me for 4 years until I signed my half of the house to him! Left me in the street with our 3 daughters. It’s been 14 years or growing, learning, freeing myself and I’m still unable to forgive him. I pray my daughters don’t go through what I went through. Thank you Danish for making me feel validated from the abuse I endured and that I am not alone.

Sometimes it is more convenient for them, too. A friend that is so informed and has the courage to advice you otherwise is very rare , if not impossible to find. Maybe after you leave, some of them will tell you that you did good, but not in advance, they do not want the responsability.Some will be or pretend to be genuinly shocked. So, you have to find a great amount of power in yourself, be very educated and..take action. In my case, I don't think I would have succeded without the support of my son, God bless him, he is 18 now and we separated from his father a year and a half ago. It was hard, getting better. Thank you for your content, Danish ! Very helpful.

@@n.n9035 Oh, God, I wish you all the strenght in the world ! Me, once I realized that someting is deeply wrong with him, not knowing exactly what back then, I refuzed to have any more children. I felt trapped for years. I thought it's ok to stay for the boy, to have a male figure in his life. The boy is asking me now why didn't I leave sooner. Bc I thought that, at least for the child, he will behave in a better, emphatic manner. But I was wrong. When children are small, the narcissist manage to be " good" somehow, bc the child is submissive. But when the child shows his own personality, has opinions and starts to have a life outside the home..boom, the narc starts to treat them as they treat you, badly, most times behind your back. It' s sad and complicated when children are involved. If you have money and a family of origin to support you, maybe you can get out..or..with 5 kids, you stay untill they leave home and then decide only for yourself. This was my plan, too, untill last year, when the situation became unbearable. I was going to rush my son to move into his own house, I had money from my family.It woud not have been fair . Once again, be strong and care for your health and your children and God bless you, He will show you a way ! But don't think for any second longer if he is physically abusive !

Also so the children don't grow up without a father but you are correct, they are not allowed to have their personality just like me, every aspect of life in controlled it's crazy...

I have told him he needs to ask me if he wants me to make him something to eat or do a load of laundry for him - boy does he hate that! But he seems to be getting the idea! He never cooked before (except to microwave himself things I will not eat), until a few days ago when he actually cooked for me (I had to wonder...was it poisoned?). Many of his so-called friends have never bothered to meet me, and he seems willing to introduce me to some of them only when I am at my worst, appearance-wise (as it turns out, his 'friends' are mostly people I don't really want to know, with the exception of a few, and those have been 'contaminated' by him).

When I told her not to jerk me mentally anymore she cut me off saying she never loved me. Her dad (my ex) died a little over a year later. She always played him up, I believe mainly for money and he fed her ego. She once shocked me by saying she wouldn’t care if he died. I pushed it away because I knew she meant me too. She is exactly like her father. I do believe there is a DNA component to this. I cherished her and it about killed me to realize who she really is once I took off the blinders.

He hadn't done anything wrong but I found no peace in my heart and life. And I could barely find someone to talk to. I just needed a confirmation to move in with him and thankfully to God, he only betrayed himself. That was when I began to uncover a lot and realized it was time to leave. It really wasn't worth it. And this was someone I was going to spend the rest of my entire life with. Just imagine! How on earth would I have figured this deceitful nature of his, all by myself??? I mean how???

How truly you describe a narcissist husband.. everything is so right...word by word.

[@sabrinapetersen5358]

This is really really sad for the victim of a narcissist you feel trapped in a disfunctional relationship with someone who doesn't get that his own behavior towards you is questionable! Married to a narcissist must be a nightmare for a victim!😢

[@rajeevkaul8825]

The main consequence is that you have to stay away from your family and parents. Marriage with narcissist is hell

[@tedtuira6415]

Its a trap! I ended up relocating to the other side of the world!! Fortunately I have escaped the narc

[@n.n9035]

Unfortunately I'm on the other side of the world with him! So now me and children are trapped.

[@tedtuira6415]

@@n.n9035 I feel for you. I get it. I’m still far, far from home on the other side of the world, isolated, but at least I’m not with the narc and I have custody of the children! My daughter dearly wants to move to Canada to get away, but we must wait until my son is 18 and not wanting to visit with his mom. He will learn in time, in his own time, and then we will all be set completely free.

I even learned to create beautiful garments, but even though he proudly wore the fashionable projects I made for him, he always wanted me to prioritize making for sale or business and not even for myself because it would be a waste of resources. He didn't really want others to see my great work. Now I know He was jealous.

I was 17 years old when I met her. I hadn't been "experienced" in a relationship and I thought that it was "normal". Now, my upbringing didn't help me out either. Disrespect, devaluation, humiliation, demeaning, and punishment on top of punishment were "normal" in my mind. I still felt it was wrong and I expressed that to her but I might as well have saved my breath. I would never allow it now but nor am I going to give anyone else the chance to do so. Celibate 8 years and I'm 50 years old now. I'm working on trying to bring my dream of being a songwriter to life. Something that she downplayed like everything else. Thank you, sir, and God bless you! ❤🙏

[@carparthero]

a marriage today with the modern-day woman is a very risky proposition as-is. as someone who's 49 and happily single, i certainly notice the outlandish sense of entitlement that younger females have today, as well as the delusional expectations they have for guys to have the privilege of their attention lol. here's 12 traits of narcissistic women i've noticed around the way. 1. refuses to respect boundaries. 2. loves you to be in pain. 3. keeps you from family and friends. 4. talks about self mostly. 5. plays the victim. 6. blame shifts. 7. can’t take criticism. 8. no regards for your feelings, lacks empathy. 9. loving and hating you to control you. 10. materialistic - money and possessions. 11. believes is envied by others. 12. withholds sex to control and punish. the modern-day females don't care about your struggles, they wait at the finish line, and they pick the winners. guys, if you wanna get involved with a female, vet very carefully. and a woman should complement your life, not be the main focus. cheers 🍻from southern ontario, canada 🍁

@@killjoyredux8361 I can't speak for the divorce industry in my case I paid for everything, I made loans that were never paid back. It suited them not to work and blame everyone else.

Danish, your videos are amazing, my counsellors are not right for me. I think it's because among other things, YOU have LIVED IT. I get more out of your healing words than any therapist I've been to. And I came across you at a critical time in my life. 🧠♥️🌱

They do not want you to meet their friends who could then make up their own mind about who and what you are.

Reading all these comments in here, I don't feel so all alone. I'm just a shell of who I used to be. Unfortunately, my kids will never know my true self, the "before" him. Sometimes I feel as though I'm insane, because it's all just crazy. The cruelty is unimaginable. For 20+ years I was lied to and demoralized.

[@Mea_DS]

Just wish I knew this in 2014. I would have ran fast and far but was grieving the loss of my 1st spouse who passed from cancer 2 years prior. The journey I had no idea I would go through.... HELL! 7 years later filed for divorce... Finalized in 2022.. 100k and counting just to get OUT and the court system didn't make it any better. Ugh I wish this on NO ONE!

Every word is 100%true. Just wonder how to get a way out of this traumatic relationship?

[@agirl3902]

I don’t have money; he makes an exceptional living but what I have that he doesn’t is a sweet kindness and warmth that puts people at ease. I make him look very good in social situations and his business functions. Like a trophy wife. I was essentially the maid. I raised the kids, cook, cleaned, and decorated a beautiful home. He told me that he purposely didn’t help me with anything because I “love the kids too much”. He’s charming but lacks authenticity so, on the outside we were the perfect couple with the great family and home. He acted very loving towards me in front of others but at home, he is a controlling bully and completely disregards my feelings, emotions and boundaries. He NEVER apologizes but doesn’t deny he hurt my feelings… he just tells me to manage it by myself. I’m so over him and planning my escape

exactly. I am married to one. On the road to divorce. I don't miss her or feel her impact. It was years of sorrow, misery and walking on egg shells not to upset someone I could never point out when she did something wrong or correct her. Good riddance.

[@m.pellicier]

I was so incredibly lucky and blessed to have become aware of who my new husband was, just 2 months into my marriage. It is because of channels and a community like this that I was able to leave him, 11 months after getting married. I am so grateful for everything I learned that helped me deal with this abuse and pain. It took me 2 years after leaving him, that I understood and accepted that he never loved me, and that he didn't want to get married because he loved me. It took 3 years to break through the trauma bond, because of his SEVERE abuse, including domestic violence (he was even arrested) just because I had an opinion about something, and spoke about something I felt. GOOD RIDDANCE! And thank God I became aware of who I was dealing with early.
