[@priscilalondon]

My narc husband tortured me with threats of abandonment for months while I was so severely depressed and suicidal I could barely work, so him leaving would be life threatening to me. Somehow I managed to pull myself out of the darkness, started working out, taking care of myself, watching videos about narcissism, and got a second job. When he said he would leave expecting me to cry or beg, I just laughed after telling him to go as fast as he could. He was so shocked. Edit: some narcs are here saying that I was trying to trap him. Just so you know, when this predator infiltrated my life, I was at the top of game! My carreer, my health, my youth and beauty. I lived a peaceful and fulfilling life with family and friends. He pretended to be the man of mu dreams. He went to church. He took classes to be a husband! Some folks have no idea of the lengths a narc will go when they have a desire. I was a precious achievement for him to display. At that time I was completely ignorant of narcissism, otherwise I might have seen the red flags. He convinced me to move across the world. I was so blind believing he was sent from God that I trusted him completely. Biggest mistake of my life. It only cost me everything. But God had better plans for me; I was down, but He raised me up. I am succeeding, and in the narc’s territory, which he never thought I would be able to. I proved I can be independent even in his country, in a total different language and culture. That’s the narc’s biggest mistake: they underestimate our resilience, our inner strength, which are things they don’t have, so they live it through us. I was depressed because he was sucking my soul dry, like a vampire.

[@StrawberrySodaSodaSoda]

That's awesome.

They fear abandonment more than anything. So they treated us with this first before we can do it to them. But they cause us to leave them because of there mindset. When you catch onto there games and they start to lose control, they will throw everything at you. Just remember to not react to there abuse because that's what they want. Heal, grow, and surround yourself with people who will bring you happiness and love. Congrats on your 2nd job 👏. Things will get better :)

[@shellbell8062]

My sister is a covert narcissist - one of the most malignant I have ever come across. Once when I started a new relationship that was going really well, she started yelling at me telling me that I "always do this" and how I am so pathetic that I need a relationship to feel whole. This was after I had just been single for 3 years - lol. I stayed really calm and said to her "You have no idea who I am". I could visibly see the shock on her face; almost like she had just been slapped. She was so sure she knew me inside out; but because she never listens to me or asks me a single question about me or my life, she truly has no idea who I am. She only has her delusional assumptions to go on and it never occurred to her that I'm a person in my own right.

Good answer. Although a narc know who you arenon a core base level. They're just evill and daring to enjoy underestimating and sabotaging some one's ability to do good and /or to defend themselves and enjoy causing bad feelings and bad situations in some who is doing or having a good thing or reputation and they also suffer from deep bone frying envy built into their evilness 😉

So, I was supposed to continue to live with him and ‘pretend’ as if nothing had happened, even though I didn’t believe a single word that came out of his mouth anymore, and I most definitely did not trust, respect him or want to be around him anymore - simply to save him…from looking like a failure.

My sister was always rude and cruel but she crossed the line at the worst moment possible...and I reached my breaking point and snapped on her, telling her all the truth that I had always just accepted and basically overlooked, all the things she definitely didn't want to hear about herself and her behaviors. She doesn't take criticism well so she screamed that I was the narcissist! A few days later, I received a letter from her where she "officially" cut all ties with me, in all dimensions and all timelines. I granted her wish and didn't reply. I don't really know what she expected me to do but she has always played the role of perpetual victimhood so I'm sure she's still unloading her woes on her long-time therapist. It's been three years since that letter. Earlier this year, she sent a flying monkey to let it be known that she's "not doing well"....I did not respond. She cut me out of her life and my only silent response was, so be it and so what.

By then I had realised he was a narcissist and thanks to that knowledge I was spared further abuse and manipulation from him. But I hatched a plan. I made him think that I was believing his crap that he was gonna change. And when I had him thinking that he could have me back ( to dump me as revenge) I told him that wonderful word NO. He was dumb stuck. He still tries from time to time to see if he can worm his way back or get an reaction from me. Not gonna happen.

I encourage people to stay away from these devils because they are only blocking your manifestation for a good life.

Yes, all of them. I kept it to myself as I figured him out and began to slowly withdraw all my interest and intention on him. Because I didn't want to confront, I wanted him to choose to leave rather than provoking a dramatic exit. I ignored him. I shared no thoughts with him when he tried to initiate control-seeking questions. He tested my resolve and I held firmly closed to him and kept private. He began reaching out to his back up supplies. I showed no negative reaction when one girl came to get him, though he was expecting a big dramatic jealous showdown. He even began apologizing for her being there, expecting me to soften and beg him to stay. Instead, I thanked the girl for helping him, and wished him luck. He was speechless, which I've never seen ever before. 🤣He did try to hoover me back in some months later, but I've since gone no contact and my life has so greatly improved since then. And there was no drama, no vindictive recourse. I finally realized he was only as powerful over me as I allowed him to be. So I "unvictimized" myself by letting go. 💪 Good luck everyone! Stay 💪 strong!*!*!💜🙏💜

My mental abuser got me into a state of great anger when I discovered yet another betrayal, I lost my cool and tore some family pictures. They feigned total fear and shock at my outburst, and called for a family meeting where everyone had a go at me, then as their final nail in the coffin they said "do you realize that you are a danger and need professional help?", to which I replied, "I totally take accountability for the upset I caused you all, and will comply with any mental health professional to rectify my behavior." To my surprise, everyone began to backpedal on their attack on me at the prospect of having a professional look into the situation. They had NOT expected that outcome!

I always knew my mother secretly hated me. Whenever I would achieve something, she would just look disgusted. She would totally ruin the moment. She would say things like "I didn't get that opportunity". When I was growing up, I was always really optimistic and would talk about what wanted to achieve as an adult. My mom was never happy for me. She just always made comments about how she didn't get the same opportunites, or would tell me not to get excited because she thought she would succeed and didn't. Both of my parents were narcissists. My dad was just a little worse than my mom. I always knew something was off with them but I didn't learn about narcissism until later in life.

Let me be clear though, I'm speaking about the narc that you have cut contact off with and they have no other way to get to you. And you're right they slander you behind your back when they are in a relationship with you as well. Very disturbed individuals with no moral filter.

[@CrazyJamaicanCook]

@@DosBear The world isn't so black and white. Sometimes the people with whom you share acquaintances with a narcissist are vulnerable, like the elderly, or close family members. That's why eventually "word gets around" and you hear stuff about yourself that surprises you. In some families you even have siblings and cousins who set out to destroy another's image by telling all the uncles and aunts terrible untruths about that person out of pure jealousy. The solution is not to go "no contact" with flesh and blood who have never wronged you, but to keep being a good niece, for example. If people are wise, they will see and know you by your actions. If they are foolish enough to believe a slanderer, then they never truly cared for you, and you don't need them in your life anyway. It is also my experience that lies hurt the liar more and more as time goes by. The Universe has a funny way of turning the tables on people. The ones who have slandered my name always wanted to come back into my life eventually... Either they were on the edge of poverty and despair and needed my help, or they saw that I was successful at something and wanted to claim some credit and boost their clout. Nine times out of ten the door remained closed: not because I wouldn't forgive them (I would never refuse help to someone in dire need), but because the lies they told other people about me were so vicious and hateful that they couldn't face me, especially not in company. They had no choice but to stay away to save face.

I can confirm that narcissists cannot stand it when you don't react to them. My mother was my narc. and one day she started her abusive talk bringing up my past to get me upset. I didn't react in a usual mean way. I calmly answered her with few words, she spewed three events from my past which were very painful. Every time I was calm. She didn't know what to do!! I watched her freak out inside. When I gave her no reaction again she came over and bit me------yes I said BIT me! It was on my upper arm, it didn't hurt much but the idea of this grown woman doing that to her child blew my mind!!! I am no contact now and it is nice. I spent a couple years healing from a lifetime of it and working on forgiveness. Not for her, for myself because God cannot forgive me if I don't forgive people in my life. It was/is very hard but it is possible. My sister and my niece are still around it and I feel so bad for them! I pray a lot for everyone who has gone through narc. abuse-----it can be brutal.

@@eslavicky4432 sure I’ll share an example from a narcissistic HR executive who was targeting and bullying me at work. Basically triangulation is when they inject a third party into the conversation/situation randomly as an attempt to make you feel envious of said person. She kept insisting on meeting with me alone, that’s the first thing. They love to meet alone so they can abuse you and then deny it. Don’t ever meet alone with these types of people at work. One day during our 1:1 she mentioned the old head of department who left years prior and whom neither of us knew. This old head of dept was well liked by many and left the company on good terms to start her own business. People rarely spoke of her since she had left 5+ years prior. This HR narcissist said to me, “Do you know Nicole?” (Referring to the old head of department.) I said in a monotone voice, “I know of her but I don’t know her.” and I left it at that. At the time I didn’t realize they were triangulating me, I was just annoyed by the question and by this persons behavior which was ramping up at the time. But knowing what I know now, I see what they were attempting to do. One ASPD I dated tried to triangulate me with someone new who started at his office. He would mention her randomly and watch my face to see if I was going to react. It’s gross. These people are sick.

After experiencing a narcissist in my family, I have come to the conclusions that: 1. They are born that way. The narcissist in my life was always a narcissist from baby to adult. I think environment may affect them, but essentially they were born a narcissist, and will always be a narcissist throughout their whole life. 2. It's not that they can't change; it's that they don't want to change. They like the way they are and how they live their life. They think everyone is wrong, and should change to suit them and their needs. His point about refusing to engage is essential. Imo, the only way to deal with a narcissist, and be happy, is to cut them out of your life. The only way to make them happy, and get along with a narcissist, is to let them totally dominate you and make you miserable. I decided that continuing the relationship was not worth it, and not in my best interest. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I am 74 years old and it has taken me forty years to confront my narcissistic brother who made my childhood hell. The result of that made me feel worthless and I still to this day feel like that sometimes, something pulls me out of that awful state though, and I get on with life. I sent an email to my brother recently and specifically told him in it all that he had done to me, I walked away from him forty years ago. I put a couple of oceans between us as I knew that if I ever encountered him again I would want to harm him as I would have dreams about his cruelty. It felt good to write the email telling him what he had done to me and how it tested me but I overcame his attempts to break my spirit. Then I blocked his emails, I told him I would, and said he would not be able to tell me how Tom Terrific he was. I felt good after that, he cannot reach me, the rest of my family have protected my address over the years. I encourage you to get the narcissist out of your life, never go back, just keep going forward with your life. By the way I no longer have dreams about him coming to my door and how in my dreams would hit him with any object I could find because I could not have him hurt me anymore, so just like a robber coming to rob me or harm me my dreams used to prepare me for his horror.

My Husband underwent medical testing 6 years ago and it was determined he is a narcissist and is paranoid. What a relief to know it wasn’t and isn’t me and now know how to deal with a narcissist. Thank you for this video it is super.

“Parasitic way of living “ yes yes!!this is why narcissist does everything to make a partner dependent on him. For example if wife is also a mother of young children, he will discourage her from taking a job but then he will shame her and criticize for every cup of coffee she bought for herself after she meticulously recorded this expense in the budget “book.” ( a tool for control and power, really). Thank you for your presentation. It is well organized. It is excellent because of an accuracy. 😢❤

True to the core financial INDEPENDENCE of the victim will make a great difference in these circumstances he or she will have courage and confidence to combat this mindset of the predator HOW EVER I FEEL LITTLE COMMUNICATION AND FORGIVENESS IS ALSO NECESSARY

I actually had a little notepad I was expected to record everything over 75¢! If there was something I wanted, he’d tell me to get a job. If I said I was going to get a job, he’d say, “I never wanted a wife that worked.” It was never ending crazy-making!!

[@georgekellogg3991]

My narcissist demanded a divorce. Then turned around during the same conversation and said “oh by the way, I need a ride to work.“ I said “then I guess you have a problem.“ The look on her face was priceless as I packed my meager belongings and left for my new apartment. She honestly expected a ride to work…😂

I did all you mentioned when I left my covert and malignant husband. But I did it all one by one, very slow, including going no contact. I was not able to do it all at once due to trauma bond.

[@realkursed]

I was determined to move across the country and as much as I wanted to tell people, I had to limit who I told because narcissist will make you question everything! They will only think of you not being there for them. They don't think of your happiness. Stay strong and stay determined!

[@verlinethomas5096]

My best defense has always been silence they cannot handle being ignored, 2nd was forcing them to expose exactly who they are by not backing down I don't suggest doing this unless your ready to go to war but I realized they thrive on the fake image they portray so the moment you expose them to people who they thought they had fooled baby the look on their face is the most pathetic pitiful thing you will ever see and they will actually leave you alone or completely disappear out of your life because the mask has slipped not only in front of you but the audience

[@robertdooley8272]

This is solid conformation that im an empath and live around and with narcissists. Their core reaction when proven wrong is to degrade and belittle the victim. Pure flight or fight responses ... and the fact they panic when you or me, prosper without them and "kill them with kindness" when they see you, or me happy is the most beautiful thing ever. I hope some of them see my message here 😁 i know im an alcoholic and have issues. Im not perfect, nor never will be. But steps 4 through 10 keeps my moral compass in line. I think about the other person, the narcissist, as a fellow alcoholic. A man whos blind to his illness can never recover. Open your eyes and write down a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself - even a man of God has dirt on his conscious. Im no better than the narcissists in my life, they're sick just like me. My rambling is about holding myself accountable and to practice progress over perfection. We can get better, one day at a time

I walked out after realising the mental abuse would never stop - narcs enjoy upsetting u believe this man on the video, he’s bang on. I’m recovering, it’s painful so let it out and cry. Also talk about it to ur friends and heal. This may sound hard but at least there’s an end date staying with a narc you will always be stressed and it will eat away at your confidence. Be strong.

[@LonjeMarie7]

Thank you very very much the best revenge really is to live well like you said learn the gray rock method, respond don’t react, ignore them, go poker faced, take this as an opportunity to grow and be better become better not bitter. One of the biggest things that I learned from these videos is stop trying to figure out why they do what they do you are going to drive yourself insane.When they do something unpredictable that doesn’t make sense just say that them, don’t take it personal. When they are hating on you trying to provoke you shaming blame you etc. ,that’s when you know you are at the point where you have taken your power back! what really helped me is don’t let the things that they do that doesn’t make sense shock you anymore ,don’t try to rationalize that you can’t.Always remember if something doesn’t make sense, that means it’s not true

[@laurieelliott3791]

January 2017, I was pushed to the edge ending a a two year voyage with a narcissist. The Sea was tumultuous, name calling, abandonment, literally driven to the brink of suicide. I knew not what had happened, only that it had to be over. One way or another, if life should need to continue, I had to let go of the facade. 4 months later, the narcassist got himself locked up in a jail cell, where he proceeded to hang himself. He is gone from the planet by his own hands. Still I struggle in recovering myself from decades of less than healthy relationships. I am in need of healing.

Hi, I'm sorry for your trauma. It shows great strength and insight the way you freed yourself from this person. The ways you describe some of your experience here maybe suggests you have some pretty deep traumas; looking at them with a therapist might help you find specialised support for your recovery. Since I've realised how much distress I deal with every day due to cPTSD, it's motivated me to get additional meds etc and it's made a world of difference. I was already on an antidepressant, am now on two more meds and now I can get out of bed every day.

Laurie, I'm so very sorry that you had to endure the pain that went along with these experiences, but I feel like our journeys have been similar, so I can speak from experience. My relationship lasted 15 years, but that was most likely due to my personal ignorance of narcissistic abuse - despite the fact that I'd experienced it for years in my family of origin. Please know that we all often come to what I personally refer to as a "Me or Them Moment" - when you have to decide to choose YOURSELF and not the other person/party, literally for the sake of your own survival. I know you understand what this means from what you shared here.

I'm SO very, very sorry that you and your daughter were discarded by a stupid and careless narc ... NOBODY deserves to be treated that way.

I was addicted to my ex narcissist and did wonder how I could manage without her. I just became dependent (just happened), but the longer I stayed in the relationship the more psychological damage occurred. When I reflected the narc ways and went grey rock, she knew something was up. I had no knowledge of narcissism and was fed up and exhausted. She wanted couples counselling, but I said no and somehow we agreed on divorce. She showed no feelings and stared at me in a penetrating silence/disdain. Intuitively I worked on keeping things pleasant during the divorce and she moved quickly to a new partner. The psychological damage of living with a covert narc took years to recover from. I have remained single as I find myself still attracted to the twinkle of narcissists. So good we now have youtube resources to learn from. Thank you.

[@josephinestory9091]

I shocked the hell out of him after 50 years of abuse, telling me he could leave me any time, didn’t have to put up with stupid dumb me, he’d have me committed, until the day I said calmly after another “I can leave you anytime” .. “if that’s what you want, I’ll help you pack”. I gathered up enough of his things and put them by his car. The look on his face as he drove away I will always remember. I’d trumped him. Of course the coercion, lies to everyone got worse but everyone saw through him. No friends, Alzheimers, bitter and twisted.

The narcs in my family accelerate the abuse in order to get a response including physical assault and criminal acts. I found with my ex, the safest was to give occasional measured 'reactions' when I felt he was brewing for something bigger. Things satisfied him for a while as I worked on safe exit.

My best advice is to leave in a kind fashion by simply saying "I'm sorry, I don't want to speak to you anymore as we have nothing in common and I don't have the emotional energy to deal with you anymore but I wish you and your family the best". Then stop. They will try a few times to contact you but will eventually give up and stick to talking behind your back for it brings their hate to the forefront. The best time to do this is just after a disagreement that has set you off internally or even externally to the point of angering you. Step back and calm down and speak from a rational frame of mind instead of being negatively affected by them & then terminate the relationship as well as those that act as their go between message takers or flying monkeys as I have heard it called. They feed off your negative energy as well as your positive.

I just did this with my ex mother in law. I am divorced from her son. I am strong and once l'd made up my mind it was over, l was done. But my young teen son was so terrified of his dad's outbursts and drama he was shrinking inside himself and becoming ocd with tapping and touching. He also developed a tic. I had conversation after conversation about my ex's behaviour, but she always made excuses for him. Then last month my son ran away from his dad. That day we decided that we were done. Haven't seen them since. She has tried and threatened to cut her grandson off from his trust fund....well just do it, we don't care. l know she'll be back. But it's grey rock here and will continue until they get the message. We are so much happier without them in our lives. My son is thriving ❣

[@DosBear]

@@EllBe63 I'm sorry to hear that. It's a very difficult thing to do but if someone is using financial bribery to manipulate you that pretty much speaks volumes about their character. No amount of money is worth putting up with that type of behavior and your son is lucky to have such a strong Mother to protect him. It's quite amazing the peace that comes to your life when you remove such negative people & take back full control of it. All the best to you and yours.
