Hi David I watched from start to finish. My name is Trevor . I’m from Pennsylvania . I’m 6’8” and for so long was embarrassed that I let myself stay in a physically abusive relationship with a woman I thought I loved . I moved and relocated myself hoping it make us as a couple more successful. I lost myself entirely trying to make her happy . Once I learned what a narcissist was I realized so many things that helped me heal . Thank you for everything

Trevor welcome to the club . I felt humiliated and couldn’t turn to police nor the courts because men being abused is something that the courts cannot accept . Men need a me too movement as well because yes men can be abused. And just like you I did everything to please her even buying a $400,000 house and still the monster wasnt happy . She led me down the road and took and took but never gave . I was physically and emotionally abused and had nobody to turn too. 21 years wasted and I’m still in recovery but I’m hoping one day God Will grace me with peace one day

It's fascinating to hear a man talk openly about his life. So many men suffer in silence, much to their own detriment. The common thread running across your life experiences is that you are physically and emotionally tough. And that's often what it takes to get through the horrible things you've been through for so long. When it comes to thrashing people in order to survive, we all have the right to self-defense. Another factor is that the majority of the problems were caused by individuals. Some of us withdraw into a tiny cocoon and do things that don't involve people as much as possible in order to cope with traumatic relationships - no dating, working with things rather than people. It's all about the fight-or-flight response. You went with the former, while many of us went with the latter. Many people die as a result of similar abusive relationships. So glad you're here to assist people who have been harmed by this thing we call life.

So true! Since the lockdowns I literally withdrew from people as I detoxed from people and have been working on myself and doing shadow work to find out what my demons were feeding on and how I contribute to the toxicity in my life. We might need emotional connection but when there's an issue in our lives that keep repeating than there's a problem. My picker is broken but I'm working on it. ❤

Hi from Portland Oregon soon to move to Sacramento California. I can relate with your childhood but with a few differences. I left home completely when I was 16 years old. I’m the adult child of an alcoholic. I never went back to living with my mom and I met my dad after I married a guy who was in the Air Force and was stationed from Hawaii to Georgia. I never did get a total emotional connection to either of my parents. I’ve had 4 failed marriages with in between relationships. I’m getting away from living in the home of a narcissist and was relieved when the romantic relationship with another narcissist discarded me. I’m listening now to people like you, I’ve had enough of abusing myself as well as abuse from others.

Very interesting to hear the hindsight. I’ve found being a Catholic/Christian, a lot of times we’re told to forgive. And forgiveness is important for self healing as well but it’s often confused with not having boundaries or not standing up for yourself when necessary. You can forgive while cutting contact (it’s not healthy to hold resentment). Healthy boundaries. Turn the other cheek shouldn’t mean to open yourself up to abuse. If it were myself, I’d slowly allow an abusive parent back into my life (people do change or have a reconciliation sometimes) but If the abuse starts again back to no contact. Boundaries, a lot of people don’t know what that is.

I am 51 and it's taken me this long to understand that I recreated my abusive childhood with the narc ex-husband. Even post divorce, I'd still try to gain his acceptance. I literally did not make the connection until my son asked "Are you on the phone with Dad or Grandpa" he later said I act the same with both so he can never tell who I'm speaking to. It's was like a switch finally turned on and the dots connected.

Hello David, Matthew from New York now transplanted to central Florida. Your early videos, from what I remember, helped me more than words could describe. I was able to better understand what I was going through after being in such a dysfunctional relationship with my ex NPD/BPD. Your channel and those videos were exactly what I needed coming out of that relationship as Literally "nobody" understood what I was feeling and going through after that relationship. You most definitely raised my awareness during those days as I had a terrible case of cognitive dissonance and barely understood anything that was going on nevertheless who I even was. Fast forward one years time I thought I had healed only to find myself yet again in another toxic relationship. At that time I reached out to you for coaching which most definitely helped me alot. Today things are okay and I have strong boundaries in relationships with friends, family, and lovers. My healing process was almost immediately in comparison to the toxic relationship prior. Your knowledge was invaluable, needless to say, Thank You again.

I have always had the power to stop the pain , but I had to do the work on myself. Now I look at toxic people as sad and pathetic. The only way they know how to survive is doing horrible things to others what a sad existence. Absolutely no enrichment to their lives just empty superficial relationships.

Hi David!! I'm writing from Camillus, ny,.... A small suburb of Syracuse, ny. Your story has a lot of similarities to mine. I also had a schizophrenic mother. She was severely schizophrenic and unmedicated her entire life. So much like you there was not much of an emotional connection with my mother even though she was in my everyday life. Her mother my grandmother Vi is who I immediately emotionally bonded to as a baby but I grew up with a great-aunt and a great grandmother the majority of my childhood and school years. As a newborn and baby my mother had repeatedly threatened to kill me always saying she wanted to throw me downstairs. So at 9 months old I was sent away from the household.. being given to whoever would take me for a little while.. staying with family members aunts, uncles, cousins, my godparents, just friends of the family often hearing it explained as anyone that could help "lessen the burden"'. My mother often talked to Satan in corners of rooms, urinated herself, run from hysterical laughing crying to rage fits, smashed things, violently attacked people, and would hop on a central bus going to Rochester New York where I was living in the middle of the night and if we weren't there she would break into the house and destroy everything triggering the burglar alarm and having the house surrounded by police,and my grandmother barricading us in bedrooms with dressers in front of doors. I clearly remember the local ambulance company having to come often always calling her by her first name knowing her well and taking her away. And visiting her in the mental hospitals and seeing all the other people there.. noticing familiarity and how mentally ill they were. And growing up as a teenager passing my mother in the roads swearing at passerbys I'm having my friends make fun of her.. and my repeatedresponse team that's my mother she's mentally ill it's not her fault. And never knowing who my father my family would not even tell me a first name. As I got older I understood the multiple reasons that they probably refuse that information.I'd always thought they were just trying to protect me from possibly a bad person but now I realize they were probably just protecting me from being taken from the family because if anyone knew they would probably try to fight for custody with the argument that my mother was incapable of caring for a child and dangerous. Growing up was very difficult. I had to grow up very young. My intuitions I paid attention to everything around because most times no one would explain. I too was a child that was more comfortable around adults than people my own age and it's 7 years old I did a 15-page report on dementia paradox. I taught adults more than they ever knew about schizophrenia. The most unknown of all mental disorders. I'm sure you have wondered yourself about what effects a schizophrenic woman can have on it a prenatal child. When your pregnant they say to keep the mother in good spirits to speak to the child while in the womb. That mental and emotional well being of the mother can affect the child.... I wonder what the effects of a schizophrenic woman who's carrying a can have before they are even born affecting their entire lives. I'm extremely curious what your thoughts might be on this..... Though I realize it is kind of off topic of the basis of your videos.. I fully believe having these types of traumas in your childhood affect your life greatly into adult years. Aside from the toxic people that I've allowed into my life as an adult.... And aside from 18 year relationship and marriage with a cheating abusive narcissist, and the year with a terribly abusive sinister narcissist, and the devastating relationship I had for 4 years with the sickest most heartless evil narcissist I've ever known or heard about in my life that I'm just getting out of.. which I feel deep within me and I'll never be the same... I now can relate to you on so many more levels. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you and your videos have helped me and contributed to my life, learning and healing more than you will ever know.

I was multi talented and played many sports and did the Dinner Theater stuff too and music and was pushed to be the best and it was never enough . I came from a very dysfunctional family and my parents both did an outstanding job of putting on a great show that people that didn't know what went on behind closed doors that they were such wonderful and great people . They were both College educated and had wonderful careers but they were both mentally ill and my house was the house of horrors . Being neglected emotionally as a young child and physically abused really had set me up to attract other dysfunctional relationships throughout my life . I know my self worth today thanks to people like you making these videos . Thank you and God bless you . ❤

I love your ‘stopped dating’. I’ve taken that route, working on myself, understanding and healing my childhood injuries. I went through extensive PTSD treatment. Thank you.

DeMars Coaching in my healing journey I’ve heard 3 great messages 1. The message is about the sender 2. I’M not broken/wounded but had wounding/broken experiences 3. The reason my love choices have been a repeat of my toxic parental love is that is where my love template was created. I’m creating a new love template through my experience of healing and loving myself. I’ve shredded the old template. GONE!

Thank you David for what you do. You answered a question for me 6 months back and the encouragement/advice you offered was the catalyst that helped me change my life for the better. Now that I put my emotional needs first, and set firm boundaries I am not only happier, but I am a better friend, family member and partner to those in my life.

Thank you for being the sane voice that guided me back to my senses at a time I believed I would never make it home again. Reconnecting me to truth, eventually reconnection to my spirit & to resonate with you in your gratitude for what was is a precious gift.

Hi David, Monica from Cincinnati. As a former client, fellow INFJ, and survivor I appreciate your transparency. I watched all of your earlier videos years ago and could immediately relate to your traumatic experiences. Thank you again for sharing and helping so many people.
