Ross and Michelle, I came across Ross' videos about 6 weeks ago. This video has just knocked me off my feet. My realization is that husband No. 1 who I was married to 31 years was a NARC and husband No. 2 who I have been with for 17 years, married for 7 is also a NARC. I am a SLD., definitely on the road to SELF LOVE ABUNDANCE.
The content of this discussion was amazing. I couldn’t believe how many questions were answered in just s short conversation. I thank the both of you for clearing away the “fog” of the codependency/narcissist connection. It ALL makes sense, and for the first time I feel “in control”.
Ross Rosenberg I’m looking forward to accessing more of your content. I’ve discovered that I’m the codependent while she was the narcissist. The stories I could tell now that I look back on things…
Yep, he gaslighted me for 25 years. Then I left because I just couldn't take it any longer. When I discovered that I deserve better than him and that I'm worth much more than the trauma and the emotional abuse he enforced on me, that is when my life changed.
Wow! This helped me tonnes. I have experienced many relationships with others with npd traits, but as soon as my children have been witness I have left(that was my given strength) I walk away with nothing to ensure my children were not witness or a subject of manipulation or danger! I just need to do this for myself and I am in progress of healing my wounds ❤️
Can a covert narcissist be unusually generous? My newly ex partner was so. I mistook his generosity for genuine concern. He had in many ways subtly made it look like I was in for the money. Gaslighted me in many ways. He had total control over me.
Wao you just described my mum's life too. My dad worked away and there was an uncle who was on my mum's case to the point of beating her. Now I get that my dad pretedted to be this nice man why his brother was doing his dirty job. My mum could have left but she was already emeshed. When that uncle passed my sister told me she wanted him arrested and charged in his death for the things he did to our mum.
Dear Mr. Rosenberg, Further to my message of yesterday, I am very pleased to report, that the initiative I described to help support Nova Scotia in its time of grief, has evolved into the Shout Out to Nova Scotia Film Festival of Healing. It will be supported and presented by the King’s Theatre of Annapolis Royal. This unique opportunity of providing your expertise and advice to those experiencing the consequences of this tragedy could go a long way in providing comfort and guidance to all. We would be honoured if you choose to produce a video for our Festival. Thank you. P.C.
Sociopath was my ex. Gas lit. Turned out to be pediphile. Hes very dangerous. Convinced me that I needed psychiatry and medications. The Doctor was bad too. Anyway, 7 yrs marriage and hell. It's about 20 years later and my children and I are good. I still become very alert if I'm around someone that says or shows the subtle techniques that have been used. I'm doing well. I do like to learn more about my childhood. And the things I experience now and being smarter. I do like/ love myself and I want to stay healthy
Now I understand why I am codependent even though my carer was a codependent🤔 Very interesting conversation...she was codependent but narcissistic to me😇
32yrs with a sociopath & just when I believe Ive worked him out. Any contact he still pulls me in. Unfortunately I have no choice but to keep minimum contact due to keeping him onside until legal proceedings complete & he is sent back to jail. This is to keep myself & my children safe. Hard but Im getting better at calling him out. I just don't call his behavior out to him I journal & have a great psychologist & psychiatrist to help keep me sane
Wow! Was gaslit in the same way by a covert narcissist regarding private parts. He didn't like normal sex and tried to get me into BDSM! Thankfully l got away. They are so disturbed.
Yes they refuse to havr sex unless you signal them. And even at times they use it as bait to get you sucked in their crazy making. Of course the real reason the dont want sex with their partner is coz they are doing it out there even to the extent of going to brothels.
The dad was narcissistic enough to not protect the daughter. This description looks a lot like the codependent definition. Pretty good chance that codependents have a narcissistic side as well, and if they heal that, they will no longer point fingers at others and call them out as narcissists. They will simply set a boundary and move away from that person if they aren’t respected.
I think you are too easily labeling people as being narcissist. A parent doesnt necessarily have to be a narcissist. Its about not being emotional available (enough) to fit the needs of the child with his or her particular needs
When you become the right person, the right person will come along!
After three marriages with two serious narcissists and one latent homosexual, I'm giving up on romantic relationships. No trust left.

Thank you for your support Bernie!
So true . Fathers who don't support their children, create problems on their lives.

So glad Gregory! Thanks for watching.

15:54 This gave me more clarity about my own situation
Thank you both.
