FREEDOM! How YOU Feel After Leaving A Narcissist!

[@ReigningGlory9083]

It feels like a vacation I planned for years knowing I'm baggage free

[@Mitchdawg89]

I literally just left him yesterday and can't tell you the freedom I feel! After 14 years I stood up for myself and made him leave my home.

[@weusimalkia7697]

I’m so proud of you. And praying for power to you moving forward. #GOALs ❤

Stay empowered

[@shaysmith2125]

Waiting for the consequences, the smear, the threats, stalking.

For me, I felt the most free when I felt the trauma bond brake, and that's when I could really leave, but it took agessss for me to finally get to the point.

[@jbo2926]

Congrats. Stay strong. I too recenty was awakened to NPD+! Bizzare. 👽They are out there. Soon I get webcam i wanna do Lee courses. 🤍

[@teefree23]

It's no longer in your head. It's real. It was never just in your head. A narc's goal is to try to make you feel and look crazy to others, especially your own family. Sometimes, they will never understand how you were treated. Be ok with that and find a way that works for you to heal. Manipulation is a true art that they are skilled at. You will be OK. I never knew there was a specific therapy called Narcissist Abuse Recovery. It's real, and it works! Cheers to freedom...

It’s the guilt of leaving and the death of a dream but eventually we heal and begin to get our happiness back. 🤓

[@basicinfo2022]

Ladies, dont do it for the plot. I accepted a situationship and it turned into a year of being manipulated and emotionally abused. Its now over 5 months of no contact to detach, learn from it and move on. Do not accept a first date so easily or freely. Having high standards wouldve prevented this.

[@MentalHealness]

Oh my

[@joseannedube5489]

This video is so important. It describes exactly how it feels and the different emotions related to the rollercoaster ride that awaits you when you do escape. But, believe me...therapy, support from family and friends is essential. 10 months after cruel discard, I can see clearly now. I look healthy. I am surrounded by wonderful people who have my back. My nervous system is back to normal and the fog in my brain has cleared. I am finally happy! There is light and freedom ahead! ❤

[@katieroemer4825]

Lee , so appreciative of you , your honest journey and dedication to all who are affected by toxic relationships. I send people your way as I truly feel learning from the source of anything is key to the solution and you have made this possible. Thank you! My request is that your wife speak with you sometime. She is a key part in this process and journey and I would love to hear how she feels now . I have watched you since the beginning… and your explanation of her leaving and calling you a narcissist. I’m the daughter of a diagnosed narcissistic father . You have helped me and my path heal , please have your wife share your journey, this gives those who experience abuse see hope in themselves and what boundaries,self respect and compassion look like ! Many blessings! ❤just love you Lee !

[@enigma1487]

I'm missing him now... I know he's a liar, a cheater, and he's already moved on and he only wants to hurt me now and drag my name through the mud, but I miss him... I know why I miss him, so I'm being gentle with myself, because I know this feeling will pass soon enough...

[@ReRe_642]

After 29 years of marriage and Two kids I feel happy just upset the time I lost

[@chibirosequeen7855]

The first time I left the “friendship” I felt nothing but guilt, scared, angry and feeling like I was missing out, so I came back. But the second time I left, I feel powerful, stronger, free, I can breathe, I can feel safe, I feel like the weight is lifted off my shoulders. Now that I’m engaged to the love of my life that I been with for 3 years, I feel like the shackles are broken finally off my ankles. I love it, 4 years of no contact and it felt amazing.

[@moniqueboatfield]

Feels like opportunity just knocked :) Real talk it’s the literal version of “WHAT THE HELL” when it’s over. You’re in shock at what you experienced, angry for what you allowed and you probably look how you were treated. There may even be some uncontrollable crying over the soul you dishonored for someone who never loved you. I had already detached before I filed for divorce so I didn’t miss STBX. It was more relief at finally feeling like I could breathe. Each day you get stronger.

[@arisheree1103]

I am struggling with this currently. 21 years in a narcissistic trauma bond. Started at 13 and 14 years old so I over looked a lot of the signs later on because I “understood” his upbringing and I stayed patient. I left him again 3 weeks ago for the 10th time and I’m praying it’s the last time. I ran back to him earlier this year after ruminating again and in a matter of 4 months I lost everything I worked for myself during the last separation and he deemed me unworthy, inconsistent, he didn’t wanna help me so he discarded me once again and left me with nothing…. Idk why I keep doing this to myself. Each and everytime I’ve needed him he shows me he hates me. Now I’m in therapy and in need of medication, can barely function and he’s fine lol.

[@bronxbaby941]

😔 😠…🙏🏽💕

[@snoopybrown9326]

I noticed that right after I left, there were a couple of really hard weeks where I mourned. I didn't regret my decision and I definitely didn't miss my ex, but I cried for the loss of everything that was FAMILIAR (even if it wasn't good), for my broken expectations of what could have been. It's scary to go from being controlled to absolute freedom because "what if they are right about me, what if I will f@ck this up too, what if I AM the problem, how do I make my own decisions?" can get stuck in your head on a loop. It does get better when you heal with intention. The grass really was greener for me!

[@angelabarbish230]

I do miss him. We traveled n I loved my life. N then I question if I did the right thing. He belittled me during cancer. Belittled my family, my kids, etc

You said it to a T. FELT GREAT N EMPOWERED when I left. Now alone n question the decision

[@MentalHealness]

[@the.toxic.phoenix]

It's definitely a roller-coaster... Its been 2.5 years... He's just had his second Christmas with his new woman (who met our kids without my knowledge weeks after we split) and I'm not even remotely considering dating... I've survived the DA police investigation, I've survived family court (he didn't get what he wanted, despite having very expensive legal team and blocking my legal aid so I had to self represent) and now wading through the divorce 😑 he makes it hard at every turn, but I'd still rather be away from him any day. I miss my kids like mad when they're with him, but they get a healthy happy parent in me the rest of the time. It is like the stages of grief, there's anger, denial, etc. Therapy helps. An "ick list" helps amazingly. Focus on you, your friendships, your hobbies. It's worth it

It was a good feeling knowing I didn't have to deal with him anymore and having time to myself until the stalking hoovering started but it's been over a year now and I'm good

[@itiswhatitis555]

I left the house and communicated to him that I’m leaving the house, but not the relationship. He punched the wall, and I was still willing to move forward with him. He sent me videos saying how amazing I am, and he loves me very much, but he must let me go since he’s tired of the disrespect. He disrespected me by calling me names and dismissing my feelings, and he thought I was criticizing him when I only wanted honest open conversation. I feel myself holding on, and I know I must let go too, and it doesn’t help he said one day we’ll meet. This is difficult and heartbreaking.

My ex husband of 31 yrs did tell me “ look at you, no one would want you anymore “. I was incredibly ill , 78 lbs, on a feeding tube and everything. I’ve been divorced 6 months now ( my choice). I’m struggling financially on disability but my peace is so worth it. Healing has been non linear. I am grateful I am out of the marriage. His abuse was getting worse.

[@angelabarbish230]

I left over a month ago, n wonder if I made the right choice. Walked away from everything.

I normally comment really fast on all your videos but you post the videos now on a different time, where I can only see the videos 14 hours later since I live in Europe. I hope you are able to maybe post videos earlier like you used to so I can comment a lot under the videos and see it directly

[@chasesidora]

Okay Lee with the Mark Sloan (Grey’s) reference!!!!

[@MentalHealness]

That’s his name lol. Appreciate it

[@chrtyhwrd]

After 13 years, I finally left on 1/4. I feel numb, and really guilty. Keep wondering if I chose the worse time to leave. That's what he told me. I feel bad because I get to go to my new apartment, and he has to leave our home and find someone to live with. I waited until he got a job, but he's 2 weeks in and I left without waiting for him to save up. I just cannot get over feeling so bad.
