      You ain't lyin', my friend! I tried sending to FLA from the Baltimore area - and, like a dog, she 'sniffed' her way back! Of course..I ALLOWED it and that's my fault there - but, I DIDN'T bring her back! Her mom did and, through the wisdom of a younger friend (half my age), he made me realize that that was 'planned'..because her family would just "love" to have me stay in that mess to "watch over" their "vulnerable" daughter. I have remained friends with her mother because she calls me for advice now. Through my friend, I realize I must cut ties there now too after something he recently responded to after I told him what happened last time she was at said mother's house! She didn't last 3 days before the cops showed up and her mom was calling me screaming "you can have this bitch!" And sent her back up to me..and I ALLOWED it due to my..heart. I was still sympathizing about her past family rejections that I had become aware of by meeting them face to face and having 'private conversations' with others like her grandmother (mom's mom) who referred to me a "one special guy" as she's shaking her head, looking at the floor. Body language. She then said:..she looks like she's 12.." which, she does and she uses that to her advantage. Of course, I HAD to respond to with: "..yeah, and she acts like it too." But..as always I digress. The point here is that, when those cops did come, her mom was on the phone bitching at me like I said above and she left the phone on and put it down..so, I heard the whole incident when she got thrown out. I thought it was just "the heat of the moment"..until my friend brought to my attention that it was probably PLANNED instead. I hadn't thought of that because I usually side with her mother, who normally agrees with me on these things..except for the fact that she's been thinking this is "..just a form of mental illness that medications could help." True. But..that's NEVER going to happen for someone that thinks there is NO problem with them. It's EVERYBODY ELSE that's got.."issues"..and "problems". Everyone else is "crazy" and the one most REDUNDANT question I had to endure was: "..why do people do 'this'? I don't understand why people are 'this way' or 'that way'." There was ALWAYS an "analysis" of other people..like she just couldn't figure out HUMAN NATURE! And, that got EXTREMELY annoying when I HAD to keep iterating the old bible verse: "Take the plank outta your OWN eye first.." thing - over and over. What was yesterday's minor nuisance QUICKLY becomes today's major annoyance! A few other very strange habits I witnessed were things like..coming home only to find her sitting in the bathroom in the dark.."just thinking" and that was disturbing to me. As well as some sort of uncontrollable laugh that would just come from nowhere, for no rhyme or reason and she'd just say: "..I was g
      jis' thinking about something.." and NEVER explain why. Also VERY disturbing! Then, there were the 'apples'. Ah yes! The.."apples". She'd take one bite, then leave them sitting out - to the point of 'brownness' and I'd constantly be throwing them away, telling her "Don't eat that damned thing! That's disgusting!" But, she'd cut it off and keep at it anyway and when she did eat, that too was like eating with a two year old. She'd chomp, chomp, chomp..with her mouth OPEN -just like a toddler would! I felt (literally!) like I was having to teach a child how to live..and she's 50 years old!! It was all so very surreal and having a heart, for once (actually twice) in my life wasn't good for me. It's the elusiveness that REALLY pisses me off! What she called "privacy", was what I equated to deception. Elusiveness is deception and deception are lies. It's THAT simple. I've managed to keep my anger at the forefront of my mind so I don't "forgive n forget" this time..as I've done so and given SO MANY warnings in the past that were ALWAYS ignored and taken for granted. It's SO exhausting and it was literally putting me in the ground. Yet, I'm grateful to my Lord and saviour, Christ Jesus and the Heavenly Father above for seeing me through it all to shape me into the man He wants me to be. There were numerous blessings that came from it and I came out not only a better person for it, but virtually unscathed. It is to God that I give all of the glory and credit. HIS WILL BE DONE! Not mine. I look at this as His way of building my character and His direction that has been revealed to me. The WHOLE time I felt it deep down that He was trying to tell me to get out. I would see things like..just the right video, at the right time or hear the right words. He patiently waited for mine to run out! What a nightmare! I have since come to learn that I'm what's known as a "sigma male" from the research I've come across. If you're going through this, I beg you..keep those "bad times" in mind to keep you remembering WHY you walked away..or, got blessed with a discard. You're stronger than you think! And..NEVER forget to thank your Lord above! He is whose pulling you through right now..even if you don't always realize it. My apologies for the lengths of my commentary. People that know me from other places here already know that I make "commentary", not just a simple comment because there's ALLOT to be said on this. Peace to all and may the Lord keep you strong!

      Finally there. With all my narcs. I can pray for their souls, while I pray for mine now. I just see them as drowning, like they are literally drowning in something in the energetic realm. Of course, I see myself drowning a lot, too, but I'm going to keep treading water until I find my way. They aren't even on the surface. It makes me infinitely sad that I watched the light go out of so many eyes, slowly, over the course of many decisions.
      I was narcissistic to think I was special enough for them to change their decision making process for me lol. Until I get myself right I can't love correctly. I don't initiate coercion against others, but my reactions to their initiations aren't healthy. My mom tried to kill me after beating me for a year. Then more members of my family and I recreated situations for me to be the scapegoat with my non-existent boundaries, shame, guilt, delusion, inability to want to live alone, need for someone to love me, etc., in intimate relationships, friendships, work relationships....lol
      At this point, the way the narcs justify their behavior seems kinda true to me. I am a cry baby. I was looking for love and it seems pathetic to people. My heart is different, but it's not dark, it's just fortified correctly. I don't need people anymore, I don't need them to love me, like me, listen to my side, not abuse me, or do anything at all. They can do whatever they want and I'll believe everything they show me and act in the truth of what is mutually beneficial for our souls, without getting caught up in the solid realm.
      I'm proud of how I dealt with the last two associations. I trust myself. Woo ❤️

      I hope for your continued strength & power, I hope you are living free & peaceful now. There are too many regrets to count, but I am glad I had a feeling that there were things I could not, should not share. I'm glad that at least as far as that was concerned, he didn't get to take things told in confidence & use them against me. That didn't stop the smear campaign thereafter but what he had told, is probably still telling about me were lies, no truths to him imparted by me could be used, as there were none. My biggest regrets are taking him back when he dumped me at the start, then allowing myself to be controlled, manipulated, made to feel guilty & worthless all the time. I tried to end the five year relationship, but was hoovered for two years after I moved out & I'd not realised what he was doing to my soul until it was too late. 7 years of being driven crazy with his evil, selfish, devious, calculated & cruel behaviour. He had a plan for me, if I had not woken up & left him he would still be executing that plan. Emotional abuse was bad enough, but the financial abuse, I can never get over. My prospects were dead in the water, he made sure of it. The sad thing is that it didn't matter I got away eventually, the damage was already done. 20 years on, the things he did to my heart, mind, body & soul still cause me great pain. I don't know if I will ever recover, but at least finding this thread & seeing I'm not alone is validating my pain, vindicating my opinion of him & the knowledge that I did the right thing ignoring, cancelling, ditching him. He'd be overjoyed to know he is still in my head, thankfully, he has no knowledge of my location or my thoughts. I hope that you are keeping safe too. One:LOVE.

      The sad thing is this is true. It wasn't till watching these videos that I put it all together. I begged her for understanding, wrote to her, and even went to her house. She came off as having a mental break down on the phone when I began to ask questions or had issue with her wanting me to be her lap dog. I mean what kind of sane person would say that stuff. It was bonkers. So was the court hearing where I was served a cpo. The look on her face was sick. The judges and court were in shock at the "evidence" she had. She made herself look cold as ice but I was legally in the wrong. Hell I could swear she even died her hair a grayish color. She used "I loved you buy it's time to move on" as evidence.

    Ignoring a Narcissist will set your soul free. The more I've distanced myself from my ex, the more I can see how troubled he is. It's very safe to say that these people are deeply disturbed. I was with my ex off/on for 4 years and to think he would get better is very shallow of me. He simply WONT CHANGE, and I'm now seeing that it's more of a sickness than him wanting to be this way. It's draining and it will eat away at you if you don't get out! I've found peace in being alone.

Nor do I think he's a malignant narcissist. Not that I'm qualified for any of this, but he seems to have narcissistic traits and may fall under covert narcissist. I thought we were happily in love the first several years.
      I did a few narcissists in the past, one very overt and the love bombing and major mask slip was only a few months. I easily saw it, never got attached and dumped him. It was so insidious w/ my ex. When things got very bad the last several years and the cheating happened, I really had to look back for the clues. And mine cheated in horrible ways, as in bringing his half our age bimbette gf right home to meet me and hang out. Her dad had just died, I never had kids, so I got suckered good.

I'm chasing my relationships off of logic and rational instead of emotion and intuition. lol I know it sounds stupid but I got to be transactional at this point in my life and put safety above everything else. every time I get genetically drawn to somebody, they usually have a cluster b type personality disorder with a propensity towards violence. Plus I'm kind of buff for a woman even though I'm only 55 and 120 lb but I have to find muscles and guys are intimidated by me and often put hands on me for some reason even though I'm not violent at all. people tell me it's because I stand intimidating and because I used to hustle, and I kind of still talk basically with a matter of fact attitude... 😂 oh well! they can kiss it and miss it cause I ain't with it.

      My mother is a narcissist. When she forcibly pushed me against my window, after chasing me around my bed several times, she threatened to throw me out the second story window. When I grabbed her upper arms and told her I'd take her with me, she had the nerve to say "I truly believe you hate me that much." I said "If you hate me enough to throw me out, I'll hate you enough to take you with me." That was the last physical fight we had before my older brother died. Three days after his funeral, I was disowned and thrown out onto the streets. My younger brother asked me to get her into a home here in Vermont (because he didn't want to look bad), so I did. Unfortunately, I had her in my home for a year because of the pandemic. Nothing had changed. So I took her to the hospital and left her, so the state had to find her a home. I have no contact with her anymore.

    This was so funny to watch. And accurate AF.
    IF you really want them to leave you alone. Don't block them on socials (if the trauma isn't too painful), and completely put them in the background and get on with your life. You can mute them without blocking too... Ignore all messages but block phone calls. Because being "present" whilst ignoring them saves them from creating fake pages, or calling from random numbers. Because it screams "I'm unbothered and indifferent"... This causes a HUGE injury and leaves them hopeless and confused as to what to do next. They'll move on quicker than if you actively remove them. This also means that you get to show yourself that they never ever truly had control over you.
    Once you've completely detoxed them from your central nervous system, and they have ceased hoovering. Then I would block, delete and continue to move forward. 💜💜

    My husband is a narc and I’ve been in individual therapy for a few years now. I’m learning how NOT to react to his baiting and button pushing tactics. It was REALLY hard at first bc he knows me so well. He knows all the “right” buttons to push. But eventually I started just walking away and lately he says things like “this is what you need to talk to your therapist about” and I just say “ok” real nonchalantly. That seems to infuriate him. Agreeing with him almost makes him more mad in those situations and he knows there’s not much more that can come of these attempted arguments. He will usually say “f you” or something and walk away.

He knew damn well who I was. He would follow me home from the grocery store, lurking and peeking around corners down the street behind me. He wanted a reaction to open up communication again and I never spoke to him, I just blocked him and would call cabs to take me back to a different store or place so that he wouldn't know where I lived. He was actually a monster with all the things he had said he wanted to do to me, which was why I got away from him in the first place. I'll never be able to forget how sharp his teeth were.

I have just been schooled or became aware of what NARCISSISTIC MEANS and boy it all makes clear sense now. How blind I was & if I have known what I know now my whole world would have been better. I’m a changed person now. I regret with a passion that I stayed with this person & dragged my children through the head trips , heart aches , verbal abuse , emotional abuse & mental abuse only creating another narcissistic person that is now cycling through family . I don’t know how to get out . I still care for him but not love him the way I should & I am continuing the same destruction due to my unstable financial situation that was brought on by this person lying to me about taking care of me finically quite your job blah blah blah . Now I have no job & being controlled with no means out . I have tried educating myself about narcissist’s. I want my autonomy back , my peace of mind , confidence , pride for the Last chapter of my life so I could be there for my grandchildren & my adult children’s life making sure they never cross a Narcissistic person they ARE TOXIC . I was not informed & lost the meaning of life along the way & now my Dad has passed away and he was trying to help me with my family but he was not knowing either . I am terribly sad and I blame myself for dragging my kids through so much . God help me see the light and guide me though please so I could thrive to the best of my ability for the remainder of my life . Thanks for the video

    I received a long text today, and it was all about what he does and how I have not loved or trusted him. I ignored it, and we still live in the same house. When I stopped intimacy 8 years ago, I gained my peace and harmony within, and that's what he hates. No intimacy... I reaffirmed it will never be that way again. Now, he is on another level of control. Thank you for your insight. It is making it easier to understand that he won't change.

      Seriously. They run and when they look back and realize that you were never chasing them - they are confused.
      Not that it's revenge. But you leave them space to find some1 on their level. Wishing them their own peace is the best that we can do - especially when they made it clear that we couldn't give them what they "need."
      And you also get to have peace to live your own life.

    8:36 yup! He would try everything you mentioned. No contact initially was hard, but I stuck to it. I wanted to curse him out just to release, but I used talking to a therapist and friend to keep me from providing angry responses. After court, he had mutual friends show up at the job, private investigator at the job, phone calls at the job. I explained to my boss about everything. Prayer on top of prayer. Before leaving I prayed and prayed and it felt like I wasn’t being heard, but I kept my faith kept praying and waiting.

    So incredibly true on the kids issue. My mom wanted a baby, right up until the moment she realized the baby took attention off her. My whole life growing up was mastering the art of not getting in Mama’s spotlight to avoid getting shanked. 90% of my parents’ arguments involved my mom accusing my dad of choosing me over her. Actually, still to this day this is the usual complaint. She’s 72. Add a kid to the mix and you get sick, twisted triangulation issues where the narc tries to make you choose them over the kid every SINGLE day.

    Very insightful.
    I knew they become more dangerous when you walk away.
    What I was stil confused by was the trigger to re-engage me.
    *My emotions.
    *Boundary tested exhaustion.
    *Catching me off guard
    Now that I know I have a sense of understanding and recognized their behavior is a result of how well my actions are working to view the distance I already have.
    Training my emotions to take a back seat (because they are misleading) and enjoy that scary feeling before that roller coaster takes that first drop. My feet are dangling, a bird just flew by, but with a deep breath I hear the brakes release, throw my hands in the air, and LET myself free.
    Scary after but necessary.

    Both my sister and I are now in a no contact situation with another sister after years of grueling behavior we could no longer take while caring for our parent with Alzheimers. After the passing of our mother and settling of the estate we could not take anymore of her. Once everything was done ( even agreed to a lesser amount of the estate so we could get rid of her). She was just so mentally controlling and exhausting that money did not even matter. It has been self care for the last three years and it feels so good to be drama free. Today my aunt mentioned she spoke with my toxic sister (who btw says it is we that are the toxic ones) was mentally in a bad place because of the family situation. I told my aunt she wanted it this way and is only manipulating her because she knows she talks to us and knew she would tell us. I feel I am free of the BS and no longer want to deal with it. Thanks for you insightful and encouraging word of no contact. I told myself it was my tool for preservation but to hear it from another person makes me feel more empowered. Just found your channel on youtube and will continue to watch. God bless you and keep healing. BB from AZ
