    Welcome my channel! If this is your first time seeing my face or hearing my voice, my name is Lee and I am a self aware narcissist. I have narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ) and I've been in therapy for my personality disorder since 2017 and it has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything.
    The point of these videos is to help bring awareness from the other side of the narcissistic *buse spectrum. All my videos give perspective on why many narcissists do what they do and the possible different reasons behind them. The victims and survivors get validation and the Narcissists (those that are willing) get to see that you can get help and that you are not alone.

    I spent 16 years letting people believe our relationship was ok. After we bought our first home I found out he has a gf behind my back for 3 years. He started taking her all over the place after we moved into the home. He wanted people to think I knew and approved of the gf. I moved out after three months. He’s losing his home, he lost his job, he’s lost friends. I didn’t even have to lift a finger. He exposed himself.

      It was kinda opposite for me, it was difficult to sleep when she would constantly create chaos and stressful fights for days, one day I went into work tired af and drained and unfortunately dozed off for a few minutes.
      It was also of course my fault for allowing it to happen, and I never blamed anyone at the time, then when the relationship imploded and I was being discarded I had enough and told her all the pain she caused including the reason I can't sleep and why I got fired. She had 0 reaction and just said "you should sleep more" and she offered to help me with dating randomly after saying she never actually loved me... like she felt pity on me seeing how hurt I was by her actions and words.

I think most narcissists that aren’t good with money are the lazy ones. The ones that come from poor and too lazy to level themselves up to the status of life they want so they spend money pretending they are on that level. There are also those that were brought up in a wealthy or well off family and they are too lazy to keep up the level of status their parents or grandparents worked for so they spend money pretending to be something they are too lazy to keep….

Every afternoon at the same time he has somewhere to go, always lying about where he is going, I know he's got a new girlfriend because I saw her in my vision while praying. He is so 😳 suspicious and he thinks I'm that dumb. Last night he went out, he kept calling me and calling, do you know why? Because he wanted to control the situation because by h😢 calling me every hour, he's checking whether or not I 'm in a good mood, earlier in the day he told me he wasn't going to go out in the evening.I was in the living room praying and it was 8am when he came to me saying; let me borrow your car 🚗 I have to drop something over at Vel's house 🏠 I was thinking 🤔 who on earth goes to people's house to drop a bottle of vodka for a party on the next day?! When he came back, I was like; are you going to his house later, and his answer was like; no! Not going anywhere later. Then that same day, he was like; I 'm going to Vel's house, I 'm not doing anything in the house just sitting around. He kept calling me the whole time he was gone, I never answered the phone, while I was walking, I usually go for a walk when the weather is favorable, I saw him coming toward me, he was like; why you don't answer the phone when I called you,I must have called eight times, lies! He only called three times. Now, we're walking back home together, he was trying to start an argument with me and I was like; go ahead start talking S&$#@T! See if I'm not going to leave you and find another path to walk home, he then stopped talking crap. I forgot to mention he brought a plate of food for me when I didn't even ask him, and he knew full well that I didn't need any food because I cooked the day before, and I had enough leftovers. I think he knows that I know about his new supply. He is supposed to travel to Ohio to get a new job, I can't wait because I started the divorce process already. The other day he came home to find me and my children were at the table eating together ( not his children) and he got very upset, because he was out that night, like I was supposed to call 😔 him to tell him to come and eat with us, my older daughter can't stand him and they're not so cozy with him ☹️ I don't even know why he would be that upset about something as meaningless as that. This man is a user, he bought a big bottle of vodka ($60.) as gift for his friend while he didn't even get me a present for Christmas, 😭 showing off to his friend, he told me he didn't have any money 💰

    Oh my God, i just learned what a narcissist is after my husband started to accuse me of being a narcissist for wanting to leave our 20 year (10 children) relationship. I had gotten to the point where i just couldn't take it anymore, and had fully accepted that the possibility of being single for the rest of my life was a price I was willing to pay for my freedom. After he started calling me a narcissist, i started doing my own research on what it was, and my gosh! In this video you hit on so much of my story for the past 20 years of my life. Currently, I am trapped in this due to circumstances, and i had even considered just giving up and accepting that this is what it is and it will always be this way. But you have reinvigorated my drive to get myself out of this. Thank you. The thing that you said that really did it for me was saying that they know what they are doing. I have spent the last 20 years saying that he just doesn't see himself, and if he could he wouldn't act the way he acts or treat me the way he treats me. I really believed that he just didn't know or understand that the things he says and does are so hurtful and harmful. Oh my goodness everything you said. The protecting his image. How everyone in our community holds him with such a high esteem. If i left, i would be the evil one. I would be the worldly wife who wants to ruin our family. I've recently learned that he gives away money in the thousands to people in our community, but will only spend $160 in groceries a week for his pregnant wife and 9 children. There was a time a few years ago when he was donating to community charities to the tune of thousands of dollars at a time while our children had green stained teeth because they were so hungry they were eating whatever they could find outside. We lived out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but fields around us. I genuinely believed at the time that this was just the conditions God has us in right now and would never complain about anything because it is God's will. I genuinely believed he was doing the best he could for our family, and thought that he kept finances from me because he was embarrassed by how little he made. Turns out that couldn't have been further from the truth. It will not be easy to get out of this, but I know God is showing me all this for a reason. Everytime i think about giving up, God shows me something else.

I left and he stalked me leaving notes and flowers and hundreds of voicemails and texts and he wont leave me alone. Even the cops warned him but he comes back and judge wont honor R.O. crazy. I am free now Thank you Lee

    My narc wanted everyone to think he was my blessing but at home he would take off his belt and act like he wanted to beat me. We both are over 60. He would tell his boys to bail him out after he busted my lip in front of me to upset me. When I told him to try it, he would tell his boys, see how nasty she is? The more I did for him, the meaner he became so I decided to do nothing for him.
    I prayed he would move out of my home... he did, by the grace of God. He was homeless and slept on his nephew's twin bed for two years and wants me to feel guilty about his situation. NOT. Two years later, he is fake romanticizing and future faking about our relationship and wants to start over.
    He kept me in the dark about a lot of his dealings and wanted me to not be curious. He keeps his exes on speed dial and talk with them out of my presence. He tells me no one else will "put up with my shit." He told me he is the best thing that ever happened to me in my life...OK. I told him I would rather die alone than be with him again.
    Every ex I have allowed to be friends, wanted to remember how great we were in bed. No thanks. Don't be a side piece and don't let them ruin any new relationships you may get involved in. Trust me, they don't care if you cheat on your new current relationship because they will be cheating on their current muse. They crave the DRAMA and watching your beautiful spirit DIM. After they stress the hell out of you, wear you down, crush your courage, they will criticize everything about you. Mine would say, excuse me, my dime is calling. He implied I was less than a dime. He refuse to see the Kevin Samuels red pill behavior in himself.
    I can't go full no contact because we share niece and nephew. My sister and his brother have children together so I see him when our family gather.

    I had been telling people for well over a decade. At least 14 years…. Because I had people around me that had/being abused or men cheating and such everyone acted like it wasn’t a big deal. I was never able to get any evidence of cheating during the marriage…. They really don’t want people to know. That’s one reason they want to be our friend after the relationship so we can look like a liar to those we did tell and to keep us from telling others…. Think about this; if it was so bad why would you want to be their friend? My soon to be ex-husband was too lowdown and dirty and tried to take me off this earth by emotionally, verbally and mentally abusing me knowing stress flares up my disease. I would tell him and he would push harder. I don’t care if I ever see him again. I really hope I don’t once this divorce is over.

      @@JessMariaDwyer 😞🙏. Yeah, I am blessed to be alive. I’ve been in this mess for 34 years; 35 in March. He is a covert so at first he did small things like making fun of me. That’s how he started. I’ve figured out too it wasn’t that bad for me in the beginning too because he was kinda bullying my oldest daughter. He was like a kid. 🤦‍♀️. Got really bad after I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2006 and when I had to stop working full-time in 2009 it was on…. It was like a light switch. Horrible. I immediately felt it and want out it was so intense as I had already suffered for 20 years by then. I thought I was being a good Christian wife helping him through what was wrong with him and I had come from a toxic environment so I was raised to take a lot of pain from people. I think everyone should seek counseling before marriage and I am not talking about those 2 second counseling sessions they give one time before you get married. 😞🙏

    Oh, my sweet Jesus! I can not believe this is so accurate. I was never crazy after all. Something was always wrong. It's the secretive nature that was telling. I used to always want to know why. Now I do. He was an Assistant Pastor and fell apart and felt hurt because I shared with someone that he had cheated years ago. The nerve of HIM to be hurt because someone knows he did some really terrible things? He once sent a text and asked me if I followed through on telling someone in the church about how he treats me behind closed doors. I did not but the fact that he asked if I did was weird. I am truly grateful to God that my eyes are open. I did not waste any time. I learned so much and am the better for it! Shame on YOU, Sir! (and you know who you are)

I recall correcting things that he would say about me to his son and his son would repeat what he said to me (that he wasn't supposed to tell me), and my ex narcissist would get mad at me for telling the truth. Me correcting what was said was me telling our business not that he lied on me to make himself look like a victim and he would literally get mad at me and I believe me exposing the truth changed how he saw me too

    The narcissistic in my life is my sister-in-law. We are married to brothers.
    She saved for an entire year to send her husband, along with his brothers (my husband) on a ski trip. She planned it along with the third brother. The third brother lived in another state, and she lived a few houses down the street. Neither ever mentioned a word about it. When it was time to start packing, that’s when the third brother finally called my husband to discuss the details. He was shocked that my husband didn’t know anything about it. He assumed that my sister-in-law was keeping us updated. She never said one single word.
    My husband could not go because we had not budgeted for it. It was awkward and embarrassing. I feel that she was purposefully being secretive, but it was also a way to dismiss us and demean us.
    I could go on and on, but we are not in contact now. I could not deal with her, and I finally cut her off.

The child is now 21, and he refuses for us to call him and or see him. It’s a true sickness. He even laugh at us when we pleaded with him for us to spend time with his son.

When I asked what he was drinking, he said his alcohol. I said, I thought we were in reconciliation and that we’d talk about everything. He said that I already knew he was drinking again. I said no I didn’t and that he never said a thing. He stuck to his story of I already knew. For the next 3 yrs. he’s been secretively drinking hiding it from our kids. They still don’t know that he drinks again. Gosh smh. He’s so private, secretive, reserved, quiet etc.
