Near the end, I hated when he would be nice to me. Once I saw the abuse for what it was, I couldn't unsee it and would get an ick feeling every time he tried to do something nice for me.
That health analogy really hit home to me. The soda part, for me, is literal because it made me feel, especially diet coke, the way the negative emotions come from narcissistic abuse. Consequently, soda consumption has decreased to maybe once in a while and no diet soda. And if I do drink soda, it's with a meal to enjoy the fast food experience, and even then, I opt for coffee or vitamine water. My quality of life is a thousand times better. I'm alone, but I don't feel alone.😊😊😊😊
It has been three years since I escaped. And yes the heaviness of the trauma bond is gone, but I still feel like I am not totally over him. I still have some sort of trauma bond. Can’t be the chemicals anymore. So isn’t this some leftover trauma bond then? Why do I still feel the need to check his socials once in a while (I try to withhold myself!)? And the lingering love I still feel even though he also disgusts me. Is trauma bond more than chemicals or is this something else?
The narcissist is like a bull...he controls people like animals...knowing that he does not appear in the forefront. I applied the no contact rule with him two months ago and until now nothing has happened.
Toxic hope is what keeps it all alive. You gotta believe the person when they show you who they really are.

Yes because it’s not genuine it’s by force them being pretentious. It makes them look uglier when you have experienced their abuse.
It's "performative". Fake.
Yes knowing that it wasn't real, but just part of the control!
Thank you for this priceless information !😮
JUST the video I needed. Thank you! 🙏🏻
20 years divorced and still must remind myself .......not an option for me.
Cannot wait to be there. Havent left yet, still securing employment.
Glad to see you are safe from the fires.
I have a request if you ever need an idea for a future topic: guilt for leaving the narcissist. It’s my struggle.
