@Gemma Dann oh yes, and everytime you confront them with something or tell them they hurt you or try to set boundaries or stand up for yourself... literally no acknowledgment just immediately an accusation. "Do you have someone else lined up" "are you talking to someone else" "you must have someone else" "what are you doing right now" "go with him then" (um theres no him" not once in 3 years did he ever answer a question.. his response was always to accuse me of something. Deflection. Made me crazy. Literal crazy making.

@@wordgirl3893 that’s what I always thought... but do they really? Im thinking deep down they truly must hate themselves... which is why they treat ppl the abhorrent way they do.
It's the biggest betrayal of my life knowing and loving a narcissist. What an illusion love story it was, a fucking asshole he was and always will be but life is soo good for me now.
What a sad existence for these people and how strange they all follow the same behavioural traits almost to the letter. Wish I had known what a narcissist was about 30 years ago then I wouldn't have been horribly abused by them, but I had no idea. If this stuff was taught in school it would spare so much suffering. Thank you Melanie, you have such a gift to be able to convey all this valuable information, we are lucky to be able to watch your videos and learn so much, it truly changes lives xx
I say the same thing. I wish I had known this stuff 40 years ago. Back then there were no computers or internet where you could research from the comfort of your bed at 2AM. Besides, I read that narcissism wasn't fully understood until 1992, so there wouldn't have been anything to research anyway.
Sue, I sure understand you, it was 40 years for me. if I knew when I was 18 I would have left my Mother and Father and never look back! those two were the "Two Faced, Covert Narcissist". Sue, to help you heal> understand this>, when you put the Narcissist out of your life the Narcissist has lost what you felt for him/her, and for that reason you need to tell yourself that you pity him/her. again, because the Narcissist has lost that love and respect and joy you had for him/her. Pity that Narcissist because you were the best person in his/her life, and now you have left..
“Demented unresolved wounds”...This is a perfect way of putting it. Pathological liars...they start to believe their own lies OR they forget the truth, either way they absolutely just double down on their lies.
Surprise surprise they can't hide it for long ! Haha ,only took me 62 years to learn all about myself .the stronger I get though understanding the role the narcissist played in my life, is very empowering. Thanks all of these therapist on RUclips for helping me help myself out of a very dark dark hole . thank you, thank you, thank you.
I hope I get here someday. We’ve been together 23yrs. I started to learn about his type 3 yrs ago. He almost destroyed me. I’m trying to get stronger so that I can leave. Financially I can’t leave yet. 😞
Narcissists only praise others if these people are clearly below them, or in a different line of business. They only praise those who are "safe", not a danger ( imaginary) to their position.
The following short story sums it all up: A snake was hit by a car. A woman picks him up, feeds him, and gets him back to his full state of health. But then he bites her injecting her with his deadly venom. On her death bed she asks, “After all I did, why me?” The snake replies, “You knew I was a snake when you picked me up.”
The last narcissist I had to deal with was an actually very good friend of mine for 20 years. We kinda dated in the past, but it was always bad timing since we were both military and kept having to leave for deployments and schools before we could really get things going. We eventually lost touch with each other for 10 years until about 6 months ago. When I ran into her again, she was single having gotten a divorce earlier in the year. She had four kids with him which was something that would have been a deal breaker had I not known her already. Don't get me wrong, I love having children. I have a son of my own and he's my entire world. She started taking about how we should have been together all along, but one line she said threw up a red flag immediately. She said, "If I had a chance to do it all over again, I would have dropped everything to be with you, even if it meant not having my kids." I wouldn't give my son up for anything. I have zero regrets about any choice, bad decision, missed opportunity, or hardship I had to endure that led me to having my son, so when I heard he say she'd choose to be with me over her own kids, it hit me like a truck. The I realized what was going on. She was trying to draw me in and narcissists seriously over do it during the drawing in phase. I didn't realize my ex was doing it when we first dated she used to do things like bring me breakfast in bed. I thought her going down on me all the weeks when she was on her period was just because she was a fucking awesome girlfriend. Nope. She was drawing me in and that shit stopped when she know she had her hooks in me. If anyone you're dating does things for you in the beginning that are so selfless and unbelievable that normal people are never the level of amazing to do for their boyfriend/girlfriend in real life, be very suspicious. If you feel you must be living in a fantasy because she's so incredible to you, it's because that's because you are living in a fantasy, an illusion of her she's creating for you to make you lower your guard and so afraid to lose this spectacular new person you've found that you'll believe or do anything you have to in order to keep her. Enjoy it for a little while if you must, but be sure to walk away before it's too late. When I recently called out my "friend's" behavior, we got into an argument and I caught her trying to gaslight me. I immediately told her, "Holy shit! I can't believe it. You're actually trying to gaslight me right now." It threw her completely off her game and she began to panic and stutter while she desperately tried to think of something to say to counter what I had just called her out on. That told me, immediately, that she knew exactly what I was talking about and didn't expect to be caught so easily. Suddenly, the heartless, cold blooded snake version exposed itself and it was so in contrast to the girl I had known for almost half my life that it seriously shook me, but I held it together and kept my cool, making sure not to let her see how much witnessing that side of her fucked with me. I told her to stay out of my life then waked away and blocked her on everything. Haven't heard from her since.
They don't want you to know... until they have found new supply and no longer care what you know. I have found that the discard phase at least has the advantage of exposing a narcissist's intentions. So long as I was a desired supply I could see his major flaws (self-centered, immature, irresponsible, ...) but not a twisted soul. Once he had secured the next supply, he allowed me to see he had tried to use me, didn't care about my feelings, was angry with me/blaming me, had been looking for someone to use to punish me. I feel freed by this revelation, as it dissipated any nostalgia I could have had for the false image.
I went through the same. She was married to me for 3 years. I was a slave to her and now she's with another supply. It's been a month now and I can't get over how they can just cheat and be intimate with someone else like it's not a big deal. Sickens me to the core. I still cry
After having lost so much of what could've been wonderful years of my life, because I was unaware/uneducated, etc., allowing ANYONE into my life now who is even the least bit toxic in any way would be a sin.
That's exactly what my egf did to her 'husband, before he was destroyed. She tried to do that with me - irritate to the point where I was very upset, and then breaks out the movie camera (wtf?)
Sometimes, you record to have evidence of the verbal abuse you are suddenly experiencing. You reach a point where you have to do something in the heat of the moment. The first or second time, ok, but when it continues... js
@@Lu12340 It was all in the Bible 20 years ago....(Genesis 3:15, Psalm 58:3-5, Parable of Wheat vs Tares Matt 13, etc). Only problem is we didn't read the Bible and the "church" system was already infilitrated with these vipers in the pulpit's trained to NOT preach or teach the Truth of the Bible (only the milk, not the meat, which is about the two separate seedlines at war with each other).
Thank you for sharing this with us. At 62, I’m taking a long look at myself(in a good way). I realized that somehow I am a magnet for narcissists. Working on that. I can sense traits a lot quicker now. Blessings always dear one!❤️
Wow! I'm 63, and I can relate to all your words. It's tough to admit my role in the pattern, but like you, I see traits in people now that I never would have seen before this journey. :)
Is it only me who suspects that there is no such thing as being a magnet for narcissists because there is only more of them around than ever before in all of history instead only because narcissistic behavior since the late 1960's started being rewarded all the more by those running our judicial systems not less? Judicial systems being run by people who have been thinking in error for a long time now that they could somehow beat the narcissists at their own game? I suspect instead that most of us here are only growing older gracefully when having to grieve losses from time to time by succumbing only for awhile to the lies of the narcissists whom we are at least no longer anymore having to live with for good. That includes sometimes losing a new contact which we could have developed a good healthy relationship with at some level had we not heard right away from a narcissist only lies being told about them too.
OMG, I just remembered my narc told me before " I don't care" ( when I told him how I feel) " Can I just do anything I want to you whenever I want?" " Are you my slave forever?" ...Those words were in-comprehensive to me I just ignored it with huge ??? red flags??? on it. I was so numb I just remembered watching your video.
Congratulations, this video describes so perfectly the dynamics in a relationship with these mental sick people. You are a wonderful humanbeing helping and preventing people from these incredible abuse.
"They will always blame you" and never apologize. Not always: they are able to say "sorry" or "forgive me" only to continue their agenda to suck on your life energy.
8 years 🤦🏽♀️ but I can’t constantly go back how long it been . I got to move forward without him. NO CONTACT! I’m doing. It’s fresh but I will continue to watch u & other RUclipsrs to help me with my healing ❤️🩹
Iam so glad that Iam on my journey healing from a relationship with a narsissict but there is nothing that you can’t get over with as long as you have faith and trust and believe in god all things are possible through him if you Bellevue in him and not the devil enjoyed the video thank you for your support it just a lesson that we learn about people and that’s what god wants us to know focus on him and not the people good or bad
I completed Mod 2 of the NARP program and it is already working. Pains that were stuck in my body, that I never knew were attached to trauma from long ago, are now gone. I feel lighter had happier too. Looking forward to the rest of the program. Thank you!
Hi Melanie! I was so happy to hear from you today! ❤️🦋❤️ LOL! I loved your analogy to cardboard! I once told a friend that kissing her was like kissing a cardboard cutout....so empty and devoid.....😝 Yukk/uggh..... all the lies and the misrepresentation and everything you described in this video we're all true and it was exhausting! Thanks to your wonderful work, NARP, I am re-discovering something that has been long long lost and that is my inner child.... he is a faithful and true and loving companion! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO....Thank you so so so much for this.....NOW I KNOW!!!! ❤️🦋❤️
This video is especially good! Listening to you, I was having flashbacks of all my foolishness, my years wasted. It was quite refreshing and healing, of course! This valuable information also put a stop to my temptation to allow being "hoovered." The charm, good looks and convincing sincerity of a recent narcissist made me question "is he really a narcissist?". Melanie, if it weren't for your kindness and concern, I would have fallen under a toxic spell yet again. I must say that without your most effective therapy, I would have fallen prey to the deadliest narcissistic abuse. Specifically, I mean being used sexually by a narcissist. For love and sex addicts (like me), taking your time is vital! What felt like wonderful romance and great sex, while it ended up being with a narcissist, made me feel awful for a long time!
18:08 "and at the end of the relationship *when you're discarded, you'll be demonized and smeared* all and sundry" 😬 well I wish I had known this when that literally happened to me 4 yrs ago 🙄😅
Covert narcissists are childlike in their lack of responsibility, accountability and moral awareness. Providing you never challenge them ,just keep Providing for their needs things are reasonably OK. Once you start setting boundaries and stop accepting basically abuse/use it's downhill thereon. I struggled for 20 years in this trauma bonded delusion thinking I could fix things. I recently gave up because it became clear there's no desire to fix anything, rather an insidious enjoyment of the drama chaos and on off breakups. Literally today for the first time ever I've felt released from the usual hoping she'd hoover again or at at least message me. I've got bored with the whole soul destroying emptiness of that relationship. Thankyou for these videos and throwing light onto the spiritual/energetic viewpoint of these type of relationships. ❤
You ARE Allowed to Say No!!💕 I Trust me!!💗 and I trust Patterns!!! Thank You M'Lady as Your Channel was the First Recommendation I was Given When I was was Coming out of the Fog over 3 years Ago.... The First Video I Saw was Be Your Own Source of Love, Security, and Validation... Thriving is Truly attainable!!
You know what's scary? 6:52 my narcissistic partner has literally said those exact words to me. He said, and I quote, "If you don't give me what I want, I'm going to cheat on you and replace you with someone who will give me what I want and I'll forget that you ever existed." Even when you don't want to believe it, the one thing a Narc can't lie about is the fact that they ARE a narc. I never wanted to believe it but it came straight from the horse's mouth.
You make many good points, but you really opened my eyes that because they are a false self that’s how they see me. This is why he never saw me. Nice work 🙌
So very true... I may need to revisit this video every six months or so... I have been through so much trying to make things work with my ex. I finally realize there is absolutely nothing I can do to make things work. I've got a long way to go, as I have a beautiful, perfect daughter with this person. I still get punished all the time for literally no reason. Anyway, thank you for your videos, I can definitely tell your insight comes from experience, as it seems I would word things almost word for word. 🤘💥👍
Thank You Melanie 🙏🙏 I know now they never Care for anyone's feelings.. I go inside, work on Myself and heal. I am Shinning Shinning 🌟 All thy Blessings 🙏🙏💞💕
Mel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you. I'm more wiser. They can't get to me. They call me crazy n insecure. I think I. The most powerful person on Earth 😎😎😎😎..GOD bless you more. 😎
I think we should find our own dating app or way of interaction as victims.. Itss really tough dating after being traumatized, may GOD bless you. We are strong. Will be ok❤️❤️❤️😇
If you have to find a mate through an "app"....you can be pretty sure that they will be a Cluster B serpent in disguise (as a real human). I'd just try meet someone the old fashioned way (and pray to God to meet the right one).
I feel that exact same way. I ignored red flags. And now? I'll be paying for it for the rest of my life. He's extremely Vindictive. I'm sorry for everything you've gone through.
@@stardustsparkles22 It has been a year and 1/2 and I am better but we have had no contact which helped tremendously! It is like he died. Very painful but glad to over it! The hardest thing is figuring out what I am going to do now. All my plans have changed and I have to move on solo which is sad and good!
@@hellodenise9612 wow, we do go through so much don't we? For me it's like he died as well. The death of the person who I thought he was. Never in a million years did I think he would sink so low. So I'm grieving as well. All in all,I think that I kind of lost my faith in people around here, anyways. The amount of people who took his side is crazy. How do you get over the rage at the betrayal of him? Literally the worst smear campaign I have ever experienced,but hey,I'm still plugging away. I wish you the very best. I pray healing finds you.
@@stardustsparkles22 I completely trusted him like no other. Complete trust which I never trusted anyone. Now I don't trust anyone. Not even myself. No one from his family or friends ever contacted me to find out what happened or anything? He told them lies to cover all the money he had to borrow and blamed it on me. This is the second man to do this to me! Wow! I am kind of having a bad day thinking about all this. Prayers for you too!
@@hellodenise9612 so sorry if this was triggering for you. Try not to think about it anymore today. Rest and have a bath and do something enjoyable. I'll say prayers for you today too. God bless you
Thank you Melanie - These are such important facts to learn & be aware of for our true healing! I'm learning & building more resiliency (from family narc's) for sure. It is the point at the end about the narcissists not respecting us until we learn to "call them out" for what they say & do & respect ourselves more. They don't love themselves & therefore don't want to be loved until they do the inner work & transform. Namaste . 💖
No proof means no truth👏👏👏👏 I always said that but damn there demons called me all sorts of names. I'm insecure..who lived like that in a relationship ,it's not healthy..🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ eish
WoW. Thank You, Melanie Thank You! I recognise all what you discussed in this video. I always liked to think, I was self-aware but after 12 years of marriage I only became aware once out. 4 months after the divorce i started to feel dirty. I started searching, YES I can now say he is a narcissist. You confirm it again. Sadly I think my mum and sister are presenting with the same behaviours, gaslighting, triangulation, minimising, discarding, the lying I fnd is the worse. He was a star in love bombing me, every time he came home from a business trip, he showered me with presents I didn't need. Only a matter of days and we were riding that rollercoaster again. I think I have some work to do here, I feel I have lost myself.....
Oh yeah, that's what they always do! But do you believe in sorcery? To help you change him totally? He'll stop being a narc forever ♾️ and realizes all his wrong doings and come back pleading 🥺
You certainly express what you say so well. You are very intelligent, aware and understanding. You can clearly see in this video that you really care about the sufferings of others, so well done, great work. I am a Christian myself and I am still being abused by a covert narcissist who lives in my home, I can tell you this that through this terrible time I am a better person for it, I have actually been empowered spiritually even though the abuse has not stopped. The many videos on RUclips about narcissism really helped me a lot, so thank you for your video also. Even though I have been empowered through terrible suffering I still get days when I get down because of the narcissist. I believe in Jesus and Jesus helped me understand what was going on through these videos on RUclips about narcissim. I am still trapped with no end in sight but I have hope, strength, understanding and awareness in my Christian faith. I am standing strong because the Grace which is the loving power of God keeps me going.
So that’s why I’ve been seeing a range of cardboard cutouts that fall forward. So it’s really a flimsy deception. This is brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing this tool kit. Awesome
Good Evening Ms. Evans. June 1st is World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD) occurs on June 1st every year. Established in 2016, Keep spreading the awareness!!!!!
one of the best videos ever. yes they will always do and say exactly what they want, when they want, with who they want ...you're telling it like it is..however bitter a pill it is to swallow..if only I had known about this subject 12 years ago my life would have been so very different. OR would I have accepted that the person I adored was such a duplicitous person. Maybe.... Melanie keep educating as many people as you can. it could stop them from going down the road I chose. x
Dear Melanie, the power of your clarity is moving me into another full on experience of the NARP program...starting at the beginning. You are correct in saying its difficult to hear these things, embrace the truth, then go about the deep inner work provided through NARP. I've changed so dramatically since first joining NARP Feb 2019, yet there is still work to do. Now, after listening to these powerful words I have a road map to guide. Thank you for your love and commitment to your own personal healing as your work changes the world. 💖💖💖
Thak you Melanie for the video's After a 5 years relationship in witch i supported him...nu boyfriend... with his illness... I Could not cope anymore...my body refused..almost gave me heart problems. Instead of Taking it slow with me he made me almost sick. Twisting words around...Showing up at my door...shouting...name calling and so on..violating my boundaries...obvious and sneaky....confrontations with my kids.or blaming me. He never asked me to talk...but he says he did. Because i said i needed some time...2 weeks later he was in a 'relationship ' with somebody else for a months...its already over again...but i had to read or on the internet. So a couple of months ago he tried with .e again....i didnt know yet about that girlfriend...but i wanted to have a conversation first....he always skip that part...trying to seduce me again...without me telling anything... So glad i didn't fall for his bullshit again.... I found it out....They make a detective out of you. He is a lie and a cheat... He tried with flying monkeys ... Try to hoover me back several times...I am his first course.of narc support he thinks.... Well he doesn't get anything of me again. So glad i could see right thrugh it thuis time...because i had time to recover....i can resist him far better..because i took the chance to step away i am strong and in the Lucky position of a loving family. Thank God. But i know the hoover will come again.... We Dont life together the narc and I and we also don't have no kids together. ...so i should be able to pull out. I just was so very much in love with him...and its hard sometimes...down the memory lane of the lie it was...really.. I loved him all the way...dont ask me why....but i was petty disposable for him so it shows. And boohoo he is so sorry now... Glad i am rid of it... but i never know when i run into him again.. he doesn't life far from me..He Could be intimidating and angst...I know now how to handle him...I go grey rock..boring as can be.... There must be a Nice guy out there for me ...sometime.. But to be honest...I enjoy being in my own company better and better...learning to like myself again..love even. Thanks again and good luck and support to everybody out there who needs it.
I wish I knew this 16 years ago😭😭😭😭 These are the qualities of my first and second marriages. I pray I am able to forgive my self from making the same mistake the second time. I was wondering why do narcissists get attracted to me?
Maybe because we want to see the good in people...believe in second chance etc. They mis use our trust. I have a hard time trusting men now Good luck sis. You can do it. So can I. Be strong. Put yourself first.
Narcissists are attracted to you the same way coyotes are attracted to a wounded rabbit. Which is why we need to heal, learn to spot the red flags up front and gray rock these devils before they can get a toe in the door.....
Stella, I'd love to recommend to you my free 16 day course ... www.melanietoniaevans.com/freecourse This explains it all in great detail to you - and gives you healing and clarity xoxo
I'm Enjoying re-listening to your videos Mel.xo Thank you so much for all your educational videos. It all resonated so much,...I wish I'd have heard these recordings and learnt all this 30 years ago! (50 years ago actually - with my BPD/NPD Mother too)...however I probably would not have been ready to listen back then...like my 21 yr old daughter.
wow. I realize I feel a deep sense of shame and responsibility on behalf of the narcissist (and their actions and beliefs). I am embarrassed for them. These feelings were internalized so young and with such a deep desire to protect the narcissist from the pain and consequences of their own actions and belief systems that it felt like those feelings were mine and for me. I feel deeply deeply sad for the tragedy that is their lives and their experiences. In the end you can have a true love and a true compassion for others but we each must take responsibility for our own lives and experiences and for no one else's, and no one else can take responsibility for ours except for when we are children or severely mentally handicapped. Anything else is a form of theft and molestation. It's a violation and one that the narcissist will in the end ultimately have to take responsibility for. These feelings of shame and responsibility and embarrassment for the narcissist, internalized, have the sense of being wrong and back asswards. Because coercion is involved. They have hijacked the social rules of compliance and altruism, reciprocity and helping others into places where it shouldn't be. Rest assured you are responsible for your actions and behaviors but they are not responsible for theirs. You are, or whoever they are blaming at the moment. Or WORSE, far worse, they will take responsibility or more likely just strike responsibility for your behaviors altogether and put it onto someone else, like a teacher or a neighbor kid you were mistreating and teach YOU how to also be a narcissist, then they set you up as owing them and they can scramble you on a whole new level. But if that's the case you STILL have to unscramble yourself, it's not up to some new victim to take responsibility for unscrambling you. Honesty and personal honor is at the heart of living in a non narcissistic way, falsehoods are at the heart of living in a way that accepts damaging others and they damaging you. Knowing all this and untangling the feeling of being obligated to care for and take responsibility for the narcissist, and them being more important than you are two different things. I think learning to recognize the feeling of no and feeling perfectly within your rights and it being your responsibility to actually say no is the lynchpin for me. I'm not responsible to make you feel better just because you are such a jerk that you are trying to force and coerce me into it.
My ex blamed me....and her first husband for everything. I was "eye candy" for her according to ppl around us. I feel she never truly loved me as she said things like "this was my life before I met you, get used to it". It was so demeaning. The gaslighting was insane. It's been 2 years and I am still healing. 🙏🕉️
I started recording him after I saw that he was recording me . And I’m glad I did it . It’s painful to listen to but after I listen I am reminded that I can Never go back to him or even talk to him . What a nasty man . Unbelievable
Narcissistic charActors want you to do things for them, want things from you, information from you, but when you want something they aren't there for you. Experienced that a few times. Unreliable and don't do what they say.

You take a baby step forward every day. You allow your tears to fall. You create as much distance from him as you can. You keep going. You believe in yourself. I believe in you. x
I know, right? What do you do? I just realized he used me as a surrogate: I gave birth to and raised his child, which is what he wanted from the beginning. Healing his own non-existing relationships with his own father and another child, who refuses to see him. No career, no money, no real life of my own because he told me at the beginning he would take care of me. After I performed the task I was hired to do, I was discarded. And to think I had seen all those red flags so early on. And chose not to act on them, I was so thrilled that at last, somebody loved me. It's been a year since my awakening, and it's been soooo hard. The manipulation has reached amazing hights, just to prevent me from leaving. Even though he repeats and shows me every day that he doesn't need me, and doesn't want me.

One more thing they are terrified for you to find out is that everything they falsely accuse you of.... they are guilty of doing!
Yes!
@Gemma Dann oh yes, and everytime you confront them with something or tell them they hurt you or try to set boundaries or stand up for yourself... literally no acknowledgment just immediately an accusation. "Do you have someone else lined up" "are you talking to someone else" "you must have someone else" "what are you doing right now" "go with him then" (um theres no him" not once in 3 years did he ever answer a question.. his response was always to accuse me of something. Deflection. Made me crazy. Literal crazy making.

Thank you Melanie, you have such a gift to be able to convey all this valuable information, we are lucky to be able to watch your videos and learn so much, it truly changes lives xx
Yes, I was 16 she 15. Thirty-five years I Dealt with it, until I stumbled upon Melanie’s RUclips Channel. The rest is history.
I say the same thing.
I wish I had known this stuff 40 years ago. Back then there were no computers or internet where you could research from the comfort of your bed at 2AM. Besides, I read that narcissism wasn't fully understood until 1992, so there wouldn't have been anything to research anyway.
Some of us were born to them.
Sue, I sure understand you, it was 40 years for me. if I knew when I was 18 I would have left my Mother and Father and never look back! those two were the "Two Faced, Covert Narcissist".
Sue, to help you heal> understand this>, when you put the Narcissist out of your life the Narcissist has lost what you felt for him/her, and for that reason you need to tell yourself that you pity him/her. again, because the Narcissist has lost that love and respect and joy you had for him/her. Pity that Narcissist because you were the best person in his/her life, and now you have left..
They all act similair because it is the same unclean spirit behind it.
“No proof means no truth”...I love this! ❤️
Narc Free me too! So awesome!
“Demented unresolved wounds”...This is a perfect way of putting it. Pathological liars...they start to believe their own lies OR they forget the truth, either way they absolutely just double down on their lies.
Omg this is accurate...even when they are caught, they're still in denial of the truth...and lie again...
They also rewrite history.
Surprise surprise they can't hide it for long ! Haha ,only took me 62 years to learn all about myself .the stronger I get though understanding the role the narcissist played in my life, is very empowering. Thanks all of these therapist on RUclips for helping me help myself out of a very dark dark hole . thank you, thank you, thank you.
Yeah same here!!!
Hugs, strength & knowledge to all here - learning & healing!
I want health and healing. No more deception and manipulation.
I hope I get here someday. We’ve been together 23yrs. I started to learn about his type 3 yrs ago. He almost destroyed me. I’m trying to get stronger so that I can leave. Financially I can’t leave yet. 😞
@@dianezielinski7504 And same here - Found out when I was 70 and he was 6mths older.
Narcissists only praise others if these people are clearly below them, or in a different line of business. They only praise those who are "safe", not a danger ( imaginary) to their position.
This! 👆
The following short story sums it all up:
A snake was hit by a car. A woman picks him up, feeds him, and gets him back to his full state of health. But then he bites her injecting her with his deadly venom. On her death bed she asks, “After all I did, why me?” The snake replies, “You knew I was a snake when you picked me up.”
Nailed it 💯🎯
The last narcissist I had to deal with was an actually very good friend of mine for 20 years. We kinda dated in the past, but it was always bad timing since we were both military and kept having to leave for deployments and schools before we could really get things going. We eventually lost touch with each other for 10 years until about 6 months ago. When I ran into her again, she was single having gotten a divorce earlier in the year. She had four kids with him which was something that would have been a deal breaker had I not known her already. Don't get me wrong, I love having children. I have a son of my own and he's my entire world. She started taking about how we should have been together all along, but one line she said threw up a red flag immediately. She said, "If I had a chance to do it all over again, I would have dropped everything to be with you, even if it meant not having my kids." I wouldn't give my son up for anything. I have zero regrets about any choice, bad decision, missed opportunity, or hardship I had to endure that led me to having my son, so when I heard he say she'd choose to be with me over her own kids, it hit me like a truck. The I realized what was going on. She was trying to draw me in and narcissists seriously over do it during the drawing in phase. I didn't realize my ex was doing it when we first dated she used to do things like bring me breakfast in bed. I thought her going down on me all the weeks when she was on her period was just because she was a fucking awesome girlfriend. Nope. She was drawing me in and that shit stopped when she know she had her hooks in me. If anyone you're dating does things for you in the beginning that are so selfless and unbelievable that normal people are never the level of amazing to do for their boyfriend/girlfriend in real life, be very suspicious. If you feel you must be living in a fantasy because she's so incredible to you, it's because that's because you are living in a fantasy, an illusion of her she's creating for you to make you lower your guard and so afraid to lose this spectacular new person you've found that you'll believe or do anything you have to in order to keep her. Enjoy it for a little while if you must, but be sure to walk away before it's too late. When I recently called out my "friend's" behavior, we got into an argument and I caught her trying to gaslight me. I immediately told her, "Holy shit! I can't believe it. You're actually trying to gaslight me right now." It threw her completely off her game and she began to panic and stutter while she desperately tried to think of something to say to counter what I had just called her out on. That told me, immediately, that she knew exactly what I was talking about and didn't expect to be caught so easily. Suddenly, the heartless, cold blooded snake version exposed itself and it was so in contrast to the girl I had known for almost half my life that it seriously shook me, but I held it together and kept my cool, making sure not to let her see how much witnessing that side of her fucked with me. I told her to stay out of my life then waked away and blocked her on everything. Haven't heard from her since.
Over a year narc free, you helped me immensely the first few months and I'll never forget you!!
Congrats on your 1 year of Narc Freedom!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Stay strong 💪
Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They don't want you to know... until they have found new supply and no longer care what you know. I have found that the discard phase at least has the advantage of exposing a narcissist's intentions. So long as I was a desired supply I could see his major flaws (self-centered, immature, irresponsible, ...) but not a twisted soul. Once he had secured the next supply, he allowed me to see he had tried to use me, didn't care about my feelings, was angry with me/blaming me, had been looking for someone to use to punish me. I feel freed by this revelation, as it dissipated any nostalgia I could have had for the false image.
I went through the same. She was married to me for 3 years. I was a slave to her and now she's with another supply. It's been a month now and I can't get over how they can just cheat and be intimate with someone else like it's not a big deal. Sickens me to the core. I still cry
After having lost so much of what could've been wonderful years of my life, because I was unaware/uneducated, etc., allowing ANYONE into my life now who is even the least bit toxic in any way would be a sin.
I love this. It’s like if their dating profiles were honest
Narcissistic women will create a fight, record it, be mostly silent while setting you up. Record them and they lose it.
she did this!wow
and went and got a unfounded
restraining order!WOW
I’ve started to recording all conversations with him
That's exactly what my egf did to her 'husband, before he was destroyed.
She tried to do that with me - irritate to the point where I was very upset, and then breaks out the movie camera (wtf?)
Sometimes, you record to have evidence of the verbal abuse you are suddenly experiencing. You reach a point where you have to do something in the heat of the moment. The first or second time, ok, but when it continues... js
Happened so many times to me
I so wish I knew this stuff 15 years ago. Smdh.
Yes, me too. I also wish I knew about these demons over 20 years ago. This is a SPIRITUAL WAR.
I wish I had known about these imps 20 yrs ago
@@Lu12340 It was all in the Bible 20 years ago....(Genesis 3:15, Psalm 58:3-5, Parable of Wheat vs Tares Matt 13, etc). Only problem is we didn't read the Bible and the "church" system was already infilitrated with these vipers in the pulpit's trained to NOT preach or teach the Truth of the Bible (only the milk, not the meat, which is about the two separate seedlines at war with each other).
40 years for me. I am so bitter. Trying very hard.
@@ellenlewis9860 great big huge hugs. I get it.
Thank you for sharing this with us. At 62, I’m taking a long look at myself(in a good way). I realized that somehow I am a magnet for narcissists. Working on that. I can sense traits a lot quicker now. Blessings always dear one!❤️
Wow! I'm 63, and I can relate to all your words. It's tough to admit my role in the pattern, but like you, I see traits in people now that I never would have seen before this journey. :)
@@shelleys1551 We grown a bit through our journey. Things will only get better. Blessings always dear one ❤️
Is it only me who suspects that there is no such thing as being a magnet for narcissists because there is only more of them around than ever before in all of history instead only because narcissistic behavior since the late 1960's started being rewarded all the more by those running our judicial systems not less? Judicial systems being run by people who have been thinking in error for a long time now that they could somehow beat the narcissists at their own game? I suspect instead that most of us here are only growing older gracefully when having to grieve losses from time to time by succumbing only for awhile to the lies of the narcissists whom we are at least no longer anymore having to live with for good. That includes sometimes losing a new contact which we could have developed a good healthy relationship with at some level had we not heard right away from a narcissist only lies being told about them too.
OMG, I just remembered my narc told me before " I don't care" ( when I told him how I feel) " Can I just do anything I want to you whenever I want?" " Are you my slave forever?" ...Those words were in-comprehensive to me I just ignored it with huge ??? red flags??? on it. I was so numb I just remembered watching your video.
Congratulations, this video describes so perfectly the dynamics in a relationship with these mental sick people. You are a wonderful humanbeing helping and preventing people from these incredible abuse.
"They will always blame you" and never apologize. Not always: they are able to say "sorry" or "forgive me" only to continue their agenda to suck on your life energy.
A year into my introduction to NARP and these videos still resonate, strengthen and heal!! Thank you Mel!
You're so welcome xoxox
Melanie you are a beautiful lady with a heart of gold.thanks for being there for all of us .who dealt with a narrasite
8 years 🤦🏽♀️ but I can’t constantly go back how long it been . I got to move forward without him. NO CONTACT! I’m doing. It’s fresh but I will continue to watch u & other RUclipsrs to help me with my healing ❤️🩹
Iam so glad that Iam on my journey healing from a relationship with a narsissict but there is nothing that you can’t get over with as long as you have faith and trust and believe in god all things are possible through him if you Bellevue in him and not the devil enjoyed the video thank you for your support it just a lesson that we learn about people and that’s what god wants us to know focus on him and not the people good or bad
narcs will defend their facade like a cornered animal. blaming, lying, insults and rage are the tools of the trade. run in the opposite direction.
I completed Mod 2 of the NARP program and it is already working. Pains that were stuck in my body, that I never knew were attached to trauma from long ago, are now gone. I feel lighter had happier too. Looking forward to the rest of the program. Thank you!
That's wonderful Laura! xoxox
This is THE most accurate and correct and true description of my relationship~ You REALLY KNOW what you are talking about Melanie!
Hi Melanie! I was so happy to hear from you today! ❤️🦋❤️ LOL! I loved your analogy to cardboard! I once told a friend that kissing her was like kissing a cardboard cutout....so empty and devoid.....😝 Yukk/uggh..... all the lies and the misrepresentation and everything you described in this video we're all true and it was exhausting! Thanks to your wonderful work, NARP, I am re-discovering something that has been long long lost and that is my inner child.... he is a faithful and true and loving companion! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO....Thank you so so so much for this.....NOW I KNOW!!!! ❤️🦋❤️
This video is especially good! Listening to you, I was having flashbacks of all my foolishness, my years wasted. It was quite refreshing and healing, of course! This valuable information also put a stop to my temptation to allow being "hoovered." The charm, good looks and convincing sincerity of a recent narcissist made me question "is he really a narcissist?". Melanie, if it weren't for your kindness and concern, I would have fallen under a toxic spell yet again. I must say that without your most effective therapy, I would have fallen prey to the deadliest narcissistic abuse. Specifically, I mean being used sexually by a narcissist. For love and sex addicts (like me), taking your time is vital! What felt like wonderful romance and great sex, while it ended up being with a narcissist, made me feel awful for a long time!
Love you Mel! You are so wise and compassionate. Thank you for sharing the answers that no one else has.
18:08 "and at the end of the relationship *when you're discarded, you'll be demonized and smeared* all and sundry" 😬 well I wish I had known this when that literally happened to me 4 yrs ago 🙄😅
We are a legion of demonized and smeared ex partners, now getting the truth.
Covert narcissists are childlike in their lack of responsibility, accountability and moral awareness. Providing you never challenge them ,just keep Providing for their needs things are reasonably OK. Once you start setting boundaries and stop accepting basically abuse/use it's downhill thereon. I struggled for 20 years in this trauma bonded delusion thinking I could fix things. I recently gave up because it became clear there's no desire to fix anything, rather an insidious enjoyment of the drama chaos and on off breakups. Literally today for the first time ever I've felt released from the usual hoping she'd hoover again or at at least message me. I've got bored with the whole soul destroying emptiness of that relationship. Thankyou for these videos and throwing light onto the spiritual/energetic viewpoint of these type of relationships. ❤
You ARE Allowed to Say No!!💕
I Trust me!!💗 and I trust Patterns!!!
Thank You M'Lady as Your Channel was the First Recommendation I was Given When I was was Coming out of the Fog over 3 years Ago....
The First Video I Saw was
Be Your Own Source of Love, Security, and Validation...
Thriving is Truly attainable!!
You know what's scary? 6:52 my narcissistic partner has literally said those exact words to me.
He said, and I quote, "If you don't give me what I want, I'm going to cheat on you and replace you with someone who will give me what I want and I'll forget that you ever existed."
Even when you don't want to believe it, the one thing a Narc can't lie about is the fact that they ARE a narc. I never wanted to believe it but it came straight from the horse's mouth.
It's frightening how much of this is true
You make many good points, but you really opened my eyes that because they are a false self that’s how they see me.
This is why he never saw me.
Nice work 🙌
So very true... I may need to revisit this video every six months or so... I have been through so much trying to make things work with my ex. I finally realize there is absolutely nothing I can do to make things work. I've got a long way to go, as I have a beautiful, perfect daughter with this person. I still get punished all the time for literally no reason. Anyway, thank you for your videos, I can definitely tell your insight comes from experience, as it seems I would word things almost word for word. 🤘💥👍
Thank You Melanie 🙏🙏
I know now they never Care for anyone's feelings..
I go inside, work on Myself and heal. I am Shinning Shinning 🌟
All thy Blessings 🙏🙏💞💕
You are so welcome Gertrude! xoxox
Never / Ever let them know you know!
If you do you better be in for the fight of your life.
Mel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. I'm more wiser. They can't get to me. They call me crazy n insecure. I think I. The most powerful person on Earth 😎😎😎😎..GOD bless you more. 😎
I think we should find our own dating app or way of interaction as victims..
Itss really tough dating after being traumatized, may GOD bless you. We are strong. Will be ok❤️❤️❤️😇
If you have to find a mate through an "app"....you can be pretty sure that they will be a Cluster B serpent in disguise (as a real human). I'd just try meet someone the old fashioned way (and pray to God to meet the right one).
@@reesedaniel5835 true it's a scary world out here..😪😪😪
Probably best to heal from the trauma and then date. Otherwise you may attract the same abuse. Listen to her wise words starting at 10:10
Therapy and self care... affirm that you love you. It doesn't matter who else doesn't. Know your worth.
Great video Melanie. I will be successful in this area of my life. And have a successful life along the way.
My heart is broken. Can't believe how stupid I was. This is such a great video! Going to watch this 10 times!
I feel that exact same way. I ignored red flags. And now? I'll be paying for it for the rest of my life. He's extremely Vindictive. I'm sorry for everything you've gone through.
@@stardustsparkles22 It has been a year and 1/2 and I am better but we have had no contact which helped tremendously! It is like he died. Very painful but glad to over it! The hardest thing is figuring out what I am going to do now. All my plans have changed and I have to move on solo which is sad and good!
@@hellodenise9612 wow, we do go through so much don't we? For me it's like he died as well. The death of the person who I thought he was. Never in a million years did I think he would sink so low. So I'm grieving as well. All in all,I think that I kind of lost my faith in people around here, anyways. The amount of people who took his side is crazy. How do you get over the rage at the betrayal of him? Literally the worst smear campaign I have ever experienced,but hey,I'm still plugging away. I wish you the very best. I pray healing finds you.
@@stardustsparkles22 I completely trusted him like no other. Complete trust which I never trusted anyone. Now I don't trust anyone. Not even myself. No one from his family or friends ever contacted me to find out what happened or anything? He told them lies to cover all the money he had to borrow and blamed it on me. This is the second man to do this to me! Wow! I am kind of having a bad day thinking about all this. Prayers for you too!
@@hellodenise9612 so sorry if this was triggering for you. Try not to think about it anymore today. Rest and have a bath and do something enjoyable. I'll say prayers for you today too. God bless you
Thank you Melanie 🙏🏾💕
You are loved for yourself and what you represent mel.
Thank you Melanie - These are such important facts to learn & be aware of for our true healing! I'm learning & building more resiliency (from family narc's) for sure.
It is the point at the end about the narcissists not respecting us until we learn to "call them out" for what they say & do & respect ourselves more. They don't love themselves & therefore don't want to be loved until they do the inner work & transform. Namaste . 💖
No proof means no truth👏👏👏👏
I always said that but damn there demons called me all sorts of names. I'm insecure..who lived like that in a relationship ,it's not healthy..🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ eish
This video sums up the general modis operendii of the narcissist! Beautifully done. Thank you Melanie for your tireless work to empower us❤❤❤❤
Hit the nail on the head, you are sooo wise. Thank you
''The Relationship was/is Going South REAL Fast! - Like Parachuting into an Active Volcano!!!!!
You so described my lived experience. I needed to hear this a few years back. Well now the healing process.
I really appreciate how you talk for minutes without editing every 5 seconds Melanie, it keeps it real and engaged, thank you.
WoW. Thank You, Melanie Thank You! I recognise all what you discussed in this video. I always liked to think, I was self-aware but after 12 years of marriage I only became aware once out. 4 months after the divorce i started to feel dirty. I started searching, YES I can now say he is a narcissist. You confirm it again. Sadly I think my mum and sister are presenting with the same behaviours, gaslighting, triangulation, minimising, discarding, the lying I fnd is the worse. He was a star in love bombing me, every time he came home from a business trip, he showered me with presents I didn't need. Only a matter of days and we were riding that rollercoaster again. I think I have some work to do here, I feel I have lost myself.....
I just went through the discard faze 2 weeks ago.
Well done. Thanks for the Aussie love. I can feel your warmth in Texas.
Narc wanted me to have a good career so he could stay home & cheat
Oh yeah, that's what they always do!
But do you believe in sorcery?
To help you change him totally?
He'll stop being a narc forever ♾️ and realizes all his wrong doings and come back pleading 🥺
You certainly express what you say so well. You are very intelligent, aware and understanding. You can clearly see in this video that you really care about the sufferings of others, so well done, great work. I am a Christian myself and I am still being abused by a covert narcissist who lives in my home, I can tell you this that through this terrible time I am a better person for it, I have actually been empowered spiritually even though the abuse has not stopped. The many videos on RUclips about narcissism really helped me a lot, so thank you for your video also. Even though I have been empowered through terrible suffering I still get days when I get down because of the narcissist. I believe in Jesus and Jesus helped me understand what was going on through these videos on RUclips about narcissim. I am still trapped with no end in sight but I have hope, strength, understanding and awareness in my Christian faith. I am standing strong because the Grace which is the loving power of God keeps me going.
Same. I hope you got out. Update us sometime. Kudos on staying strong in the faith.
So that’s why I’ve been seeing a range of cardboard cutouts that fall forward. So it’s really a flimsy deception.
This is brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing this tool kit. Awesome
Good Evening Ms. Evans. June 1st is World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD) occurs on June 1st every year. Established in 2016, Keep spreading the awareness!!!!!
one of the best videos ever. yes they will always do and say exactly what they want, when they want, with who they want ...you're telling it like it is..however bitter a pill it is to swallow..if only I had known about this subject 12 years ago my life would have been so very different. OR would I have accepted that the person I adored was such a duplicitous person. Maybe....
Melanie keep educating as many people as you can. it could stop them from going down the road I chose. x
Dear Melanie, the power of your clarity is moving me into another full on experience of the NARP program...starting at the beginning. You are correct in saying its difficult to hear these things, embrace the truth, then go about the deep inner work provided through NARP. I've changed so dramatically since first joining NARP Feb 2019, yet there is still work to do. Now, after listening to these powerful words I have a road map to guide. Thank you for your love and commitment to your own personal healing as your work changes the world. 💖💖💖
Thak you Melanie for the video's After a 5 years relationship in witch i supported him...nu boyfriend... with his illness...
I Could not cope anymore...my body refused..almost gave me heart problems. Instead of Taking it slow with me he made me almost sick.
Twisting words around...Showing up at my door...shouting...name calling and so on..violating my boundaries...obvious and sneaky....confrontations with my kids.or blaming me. He never asked me to talk...but he says he did. Because i said i needed some time...2 weeks later he was in a 'relationship ' with somebody else for a months...its already over again...but i had to read or on the internet.
So a couple of months ago he tried with .e again....i didnt know yet about that girlfriend...but i wanted to have a conversation first....he always skip that part...trying to seduce me again...without me telling anything...
So glad i didn't fall for his bullshit again.... I found it out....They make a detective out of you.
He is a lie and a cheat...
He tried with flying monkeys ...
Try to hoover me back several times...I am his first course.of narc support he thinks.... Well he doesn't get anything of me again. So glad i could see right thrugh it thuis time...because i had time to recover....i can resist him far better..because i took the chance to step away
i am strong and in the Lucky position of a loving family. Thank God. But i know the hoover will come again....
We Dont life together the narc and I and we also don't have no kids together. ...so i should be able to pull out. I just was so very much in love with him...and its hard sometimes...down the memory lane of the lie it was...really..
I loved him all the way...dont ask me why....but i was petty disposable for him so it shows.
And boohoo he is so sorry now...
Glad i am rid of it... but i never know when i run into him again.. he doesn't life far from me..He Could be intimidating and angst...I know now how to handle him...I go grey rock..boring as can be....
There must be a Nice guy out there for me ...sometime..
But to be honest...I enjoy being in my own company better and better...learning to like myself again..love even.
Thanks again and good luck and support to everybody out there who needs it.
You amaze me. I am so grateful for your wisdom.
I wish I knew this 16 years ago😭😭😭😭
These are the qualities of my first and second marriages. I pray I am able to forgive my self from making the same mistake the second time. I was wondering why do narcissists get attracted to me?
Maybe because we want to see the good in people...believe in second chance etc. They mis use our trust.
I have a hard time trusting men now
Good luck sis. You can do it. So can I. Be strong. Put yourself first.
Narcissists are attracted to you the same way coyotes are attracted to a wounded rabbit. Which is why we need to heal, learn to spot the red flags up front and gray rock these devils before they can get a toe in the door.....
@@winnifredcox thank you so much. You too. 👏
@@reesedaniel5835 you're so true🙄 God help us.
Stella, I'd love to recommend to you my free 16 day course ... www.melanietoniaevans.com/freecourse This explains it all in great detail to you - and gives you healing and clarity xoxo
I'm Enjoying re-listening to your videos Mel.xo Thank you so much for all your educational videos. It all resonated so much,...I wish I'd have heard these recordings and learnt all this 30 years ago! (50 years ago actually - with my BPD/NPD Mother too)...however I probably would not have been ready to listen back then...like my 21 yr old daughter.
Melanie you are AMAZING thank you and your team for the work you do I'm so glad I found you could not get through this without you 🙏🙏🌈🌈🤗🤗💐🌹💐🤗🤗🤗🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Oh yeah she's really doing great!
How's your relationship going with your narc now?
Wow thanks for reminding me to not take it personally
Now I can sleep peacefully 😂💤😴
This is the best video ever it saw it all in one video. wow thanks
The hardest part is realizing they never loved you and it was all a scam. They are horrible, horrible predators.
wow. I realize I feel a deep sense of shame and responsibility on behalf of the narcissist (and their actions and beliefs). I am embarrassed for them.
These feelings were internalized so young and with such a deep desire to protect the narcissist from the pain and consequences of their own actions and belief systems that it felt like those feelings were mine and for me.
I feel deeply deeply sad for the tragedy that is their lives and their experiences. In the end you can have a true love and a true compassion for others but we each must take responsibility for our own lives and experiences and for no one else's, and no one else can take responsibility for ours except for when we are children or severely mentally handicapped.
Anything else is a form of theft and molestation. It's a violation and one that the narcissist will in the end ultimately have to take responsibility for.
These feelings of shame and responsibility and embarrassment for the narcissist, internalized, have the sense of being wrong and back asswards. Because coercion is involved. They have hijacked the social rules of compliance and altruism, reciprocity and helping others into places where it shouldn't be.
Rest assured you are responsible for your actions and behaviors but they are not responsible for theirs. You are, or whoever they are blaming at the moment. Or WORSE, far worse, they will take responsibility or more likely just strike responsibility for your behaviors altogether and put it onto someone else, like a teacher or a neighbor kid you were mistreating and teach YOU how to also be a narcissist, then they set you up as owing them and they can scramble you on a whole new level.
But if that's the case you STILL have to unscramble yourself, it's not up to some new victim to take responsibility for unscrambling you.
Honesty and personal honor is at the heart of living in a non narcissistic way, falsehoods are at the heart of living in a way that accepts damaging others and they damaging you.
Knowing all this and untangling the feeling of being obligated to care for and take responsibility for the narcissist, and them being more important than you are two different things.
I think learning to recognize the feeling of no and feeling perfectly within your rights and it being your responsibility to actually say no is the lynchpin for me. I'm not responsible to make you feel better just because you are such a jerk that you are trying to force and coerce me into it.
Bravo!!! 🙌🏼
My ex blamed me....and her first husband for everything.
I was "eye candy" for her according to ppl around us.
I feel she never truly loved me as she said things like "this was my life before I met you, get used to it".
It was so demeaning.
The gaslighting was insane.
It's been 2 years and I am still healing.
🙏🕉️
Narcissists it's all about "greatness" avers and invers...Thank You!!:)) 100%%!!
This is so true.
I started recording him after I saw that he was recording me . And I’m glad I did it . It’s painful to listen to but after I listen I am reminded that I can Never go back to him or even talk to him . What a nasty man . Unbelievable
Excellent video Melanie! Dead on.
Even worse they can get people to say that they did not say what they said too.
Narcissistic charActors want you to do things for them, want things from you, information from you, but when you want something they aren't there for you. Experienced that a few times. Unreliable and don't do what they say.
Melanie you are an angel. I truly believe this.🙏
Yeah I hope it works out for you!
Such a great and helpful video! As always!!! But this one, especially, really really hepled me! I am sure I will watch it several times!
It do helped me too.
So how are you coping now
So on point as always, thank you :)
Amy if u find this vlog, my heart is breaking for u. Frank hurts every.
So, you've met my 'mother'.....
Thank you very much 💖
You are an angel 😇 💛 💖
God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 ♥️
This was so incredibly helpful 🙏
Did this after 30 years of marriage and 5 children. I was blindsided by his discard. I love the NARP program.
She believes my son & I don't deserve heat. Rented an illegal basement unit to save her from being evicted & homeless with her kids at x-mas. There's a housing shortage by day 4 I had been verbally assaulted my dog n son falsely accused threatened & blasted AC Feb March UK at -11°. Now I have been eye n ear witness to what I never thought & with C-PTSD heart dis-ease fibromyalsia osteoarthritis this is killing me. Sleep deprivation & waking to a childhood trauma trigger 😭
Great video💕💕💕
How do you move on after 20 years when he has made me so broken x
You take a baby step forward every day. You allow your tears to fall. You create as much distance from him as you can. You keep going. You believe in yourself. I believe in you. x
I know, right? What do you do? I just realized he used me as a surrogate: I gave birth to and raised his child, which is what he wanted from the beginning. Healing his own non-existing relationships with his own father and another child, who refuses to see him.
No career, no money, no real life of my own because he told me at the beginning he would take care of me. After I performed the task I was hired to do, I was discarded. And to think I had seen all those red flags so early on. And chose not to act on them, I was so thrilled that at last, somebody loved me. It's been a year since my awakening, and it's been soooo hard. The manipulation has reached amazing hights, just to prevent me from leaving. Even though he repeats and shows me every day that he doesn't need me, and doesn't want me.
@@lucycrown212 trust God , He makes a way where there seems none
God didn't bring u out of the relationship to shame u
God cares, u can always other members of the community for support
I suggest you heal before considering another relationship though
Best of luck ,from Nigeria
