    100% on the money! I have to keep a list of all the things that me ex-wife has done as I find myself completely forgetting all of it or sometimes thinking "maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's the way I'm just interpreting things, it wasn't bad. Look at how so sweet and kind she is to that person for example." Then I re-read my list for the millionth time and go "oh yeah!" I genuinely feel like I have split and become two different people, the one that remembers and the one that forgets. It's extremely disorientating and it worries me that the true me is actually lost somewhere in the dissonance muck

      I kept a small sized booklet I made at the end of a two year long epic struggle to break free from an abusive narcissist. I made it LOOK FUN - - with comic book cutouts of snoopy characters - PIGPEN was my EX ! I wrote in the margins of the big pictures things that they had done to me - really terrible things. I wrote down the bad scary way they made me feel. I looked it over again and again - and it was colored in and inviting - but held the dirty secret nuggets all jotted in the margins of the bad bad things that happened and how I was shamed and intimated and accused and guilted and trapped. It was SOOOO helpful to make it for myself as a way of putting it DOWN SOMEWHERE - - Where I couldn't remember all the time because I was in so much pain. And I was TERRIFIED to FORGET - Lest He Get a part of one of his many hooked tentacles back into me and draw me toward him again. I FEEL FOR YOU and Want to Encourage You - - Use a Therapist and Use Devices for REMEMBERING and LEARNING TO LOVE and FULLY CARE FOR YOURSELF. You Can and Will Get Through This and OVER THAT HARMFUL Person Who Threw Wrenches Deep Into Your Psyche's Works. They are not magicians = you are a real and good and sensitive person - - We can all be injured like this - - and we can all get free and heal ourselves - - and each other.

    Richard, your explanation of the split brought to mind a visual memory. I hear his car pull up in the driveway and part of me says, he's home. I have someone to talk to and I feel safer. Immediately, my body reacts and I start to shake. He hasn't even opened the front door yet. The reality is that I don't know who is coming in the door. He may be completely dismissive. He may immediately begin yelling. He may even start pounding his fists on the counter and yelling about something that is almost meaningless. But, I love him. That's insanity!!! And yet, I couldn't tell there was no love there?
    You're an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing. 🌿

      @chiliart8056…..My mother died at 92, (that’s another story….the way she died), but all of the way to the end, she was a manipulative, conniving, snaky individual. I always thought that she would mellow, or learn to trust and quit being so defensively mean. But now I know that these individuals don’t change.
      I tried for years to understand why she was like this. Part of me thinks that it was hereditary…..she and my siblings weren’t just narcissists, they were also psychopaths……another part showed me that it was her way of protecting herself from what she perceived as a real threat. Which really hurt me, because I was not ‘out to get her’, yet she would treat me (and everyone else), like she needed to be on guard…..get you before you get her. It was terrible. She had a very sharp tongue…..just mean.
      It’s only been in recent years, after viewing many of these videos, that I have finally been able to understand the situation with her….and all of the other dysfunctional people in my life.

  • @robertdemeter5793

    .If you think they are the one that ' made' you feel then you are still under their control, you're still wrapped up in their neverending inner delusions/dar-k-ness, and you learned nothing. The truth is, you were loving YOURSELF the entire time you were interacting with them as they were doing nothing more than mirroring you at the start, there is nobody inside them in the first place, therefore there was nobody for you to love but yourself...(as they themselves are incapable of true empathy/love). ..
    Stating that they made you feel is like saying a robot made you feel, or an empty soda can made you feel. And in the same way it's completely ridiculous to think a Narc made you feel anything...As they were doing nothing more than mirroring you in the beginning...Based on a lie and you cannot truly feel for lies.
    They are completely incapable of processing their emotions, they don't know how to. And that is why when you state that you love them they greatly resent it, they turn you into an enemy and play their games. Because inside they ask themselves- " how can you possibly love this ? '
    Unless you get over these massive hurdles and understand the bigger picture of Universal spiritual truths in your relationships then you will never be the truly empathic powerful loving spirit being you truly are to love the world/heal the world. .. Much love !
    The above literature is from me and it's the total truth.. And -
    Furthermore, You must come to the realization that none of it was personal....Narcs don’t know how to love; they can’t afford to spare the energy to learn, because they’re always in a state of high emergency, cataloging potential threats and redoubling their defenses. When they claim to love you, it means nothing - they can’t feel it. They never attach to you or anyone else. Other people are paper cut-outs to the narcissist, like those cardboard figures of celebrities you pose next to for a selfie. Narcissists value their own children only as mirrors of themselves. Loads of them brag about being a good parent and seek compliments for that only to hide their masks.
    When they destabilize you or attack you, it means nothing....They are stuck in an endless conversation with themselves, in which you are an inanimate object, to be assigned their own faults and used as a surrogate punching bag for their hatred of themselves..
    When they toss you out, it’s no more meaningful than a junkie tossing away a needle; when they try to reel you back in, it only means that they tired of the new drug and need a hit of the old. None of this is personal....
    They’re too terrified to have close personal relationships, opting instead for extraction of admiration from a subservient partner whose range of action they strictly constrain. This is not personal. None of it....
    The narcissist does not know who you are - it doesn’t know how to know other people. Like the vampire or the chainsaw-wielding creature in the horror film, it’s from another world, bereft of the concept of human connection. . . - Cara Lee

And in the ceremonies they get all the truthful answers and infinitely more than they were initially looking for (spiritually speaking). You're doing an outstanding job raising awareness !

    Hi Richard
    Can you do a video about the grief from CPTSD and Narcissistic Abuse
    I realised that I had not individuated and the love I was looking for: all consuming, merging and feeling connected was something I should have got from my mother ( but had traumatic birth and childhood operations aged 2and 4) Through narcissistic abuse I took the need to rely on a parent away from my father and placed it on the Narcissist
    When he dumped me I thought I would die!
    Like being a child and knowing if your dad disowned you you may die
    So now I somehow have to accept that the all consuming love I was searching for and never felt can no longer be given by anyone And it is the wrong thing to aim for in a relationship where someone looks after me and I trust them with my life The pain of this realisation has left me shocked and blank like I don’t know what to want?!?
    I don’t think I’ve been in a relationship with a man where I didn’t aim for us to look after each other! (I know dual mothership!) I’m really not clear on how it’s meant to feel?!?
    Any insights would be marvellous 🙏🏻xx

    It was done to me by a medical group and a NPD hired by them while I was on psych drugs that I should have never trusted them to take. They fucked me up badly, and during their process fucked my mind too. It wasn't a relationship but it fucked me up, forever, on purpose. So the damage is done. How we are programmed to give full trust to medical people who are not worthy of it and do not reciprocate in trust is almost blasphemy. Now I understand why it came to be for me towards some of them it's been hot or cold, black or white. No warm, no gray. And that was not part of my personality before. I am overcoming that, but am not regaining trust in people and am now ridiculously distrusting, almost paranoid, of anything and anyone corporate ... for very proper reasons.

      The negative reaction to the Ambien made me see some people as demons, harboring demons inside. Maybe it's those shadows Jung speaks about? But ever since the psych drugs, which I call the portals to Lucifer, I see into people. Navigating that is stressful on my trip to returning to who I was before the G.P. quack began dumping garbage into me because he wanted to pretend he was a psychiatrist like his corrupted State psychiatrist Daddy. Smh. With that doctor there is no back & forth. There is just full on hate for what he has done to me, and I am not ashamed to say it.

      That "distrust of anything corporate" doesn't sound like paranoia or an unhealthy effect of narcissistic abuse to me at all, more like a heightened awareness of the very real shape of things behind the glitter and glamour. Of course I've been through the mill too, so a social conformist who hasn't consciously shared that experience would dismiss that assessment as cynicism, paranoia, or outright delusion. Ignorance is bliss, for some, until they can't live in denial any longer. Sorry for your bad experiences, I hope you find ways to recover. I've been living with the fundamental inability to trust since age 5 or before, I know how little it leaves in life.

    Yes, even after they have died you may still hear their criticisms and put-downs in your head.
    I experienced that until I decided no, I wasn't letting those thoughts in and made a conscious decision to imagine that person saying kind and loving things to me. The critical voice soon stopped. I guess I reprogrammed it.

    You are really helping but I'll never understand it all. I left him 3 months ago and I'm so happy to be free. I never want another mate or even friends again. I feel very sorry for him because of the terrible pain and abuse he must have suffered in his childhood to make him a narcissist. But sometimes I feel like 2 people. And I'm talking to myself. But I don't care. I'm so happy to be free my face hurts from smiling so much. I was walking around Walmart yesterday just smiling at nothing. And I hate going to Walmart. I guess I must be getting over the self loathing for letting him damage me so much.

      I'm in a 26 year marriage with my narcissistic wife. Everything you say I can relate. I fantasize about getting away. I almost left her but she got privy to my plans and created a hellscape of smear campaigns, projection etc so I relented and stayed. During that time,, I caught her throwing out some of my valuables including a titanium watch. Found a number of my valuables hidden in her nightstand too. She denied seeing these items when I had inquired. I became aware at that point that when things go missing its likely bc she throws them out or hides them like a good psychopath. Then she gaslights me saying I must have "misplaced" them. The thjngs these psychopaths do is unconscionable and unbelievable. Trust me, I will have a permasmile on my face when I leave her bc I will be free. God bless!!

      From my jealous younger sister, since childhood and into our 50's I have experienced:
      Phusical violence, Verbal abuse, criticism about my appearance, home, capabilities, lifestyle.
      In return, she bigs up her home, her job, her capabilities etc.
      As an adult was told I smell (not true) am boring (not true) disorganised (not true).
      I have heard the narcissitic rages, she also went no contact for 5 years.
      I have tried to be sympathetic as she has had a rough life, is is morbidly obese, has a lot of health conditions, is on her 3rd husband as the other two were awful, one a drug addict and one a jailed paedophile.
      Parents with abusive behaviour - verbal, emotional, physical.

    Luckily my childhood abuse filled my toolbag with the right skills to outsmart the little leeches, and to discard them without any serious damage. Although at the time I was bleeding out badly with no understanding where the shots were coming from. I walked away and within a week of the fog lifting a was able to put everything together. I started with the narcassism that was a nearly emerged trait during my two year absence. She also added a riduculous hypersensitivity to any percieved critique. I picked up disdain as well. I had worked with this woman for 3 years and thought we were soul mates but I didn't recognise the new character. I discovered the covert narc pattern and it fit without needing a trim. It fit the mother of my son too, which blew my mind. How did I not notice they were the same person? They both did the 3 month rug pull. Once the rug is pulled, if you dont tell them to flip off, you're in the web. The cold person in front of you is their real self. Don't waste any of your life chasing the love bomber. She will never be seen again.

    The Narcissist is the one who is Split though. An Empath is least likely to split personality due to being mentally stable. Empaths would more develop a method of coping and dealing with a split person.

    • @SidneyWells
      @SidneyWells 2 месяца назад +1

      Dont think so. Empathy is a double edged sword, not something super human ability.
      Through empathy you acknowledge, relate and feel, the other. When you are exposed to such a distorted reality, it infects you because you are invested in the other and you are emotionally available and willing to go with the other to places where he/she use to go illiterally. This means you are taking part of their reality as well, and will resonate with them. Meanwhile this helps you to connect with others, through this connection you let in others into yourself.
      If an empath ever can resist this kind of abuse, it ia not because of empathy, it is because he/she is highly trained in the subject and can read signs and navigate through them, before he/she gets damaged.
      Empathy actually IS the channel, where they can infect you through. If you had no empathy, they cant really hurt you to begin with.
      I is the reason narcs hunt empaths and codependent people in the first place. They are the easiest to manipulate and the most they can get, unless they are trained against them.

      But I had to destroy myself to zero and build up myself again, I think thats what happened with my therapist.
      But it does mean I think I became split. No wonder it is said, to be able to heal, a part of you have to die. Because you have to reborn. You have to relearn stuff and rebuild yourself and for it, you have to destruct yourself to the core.

    I just left my partner of almost 11 years. Been realizing hes a narcisist. I have been really struggling with the fact tht i didnt leave sooner ( i did try many times..) I had never heard abt the forgetfullness the abuse can cause. i have been noticing even myself the past few years that my memory is so bad, I blamed it on covid brain fog, which could have been a mix of both but still. That was so validating. I also recently re-read our last messages together after I had made him leave our home, and I really felt like I was reading it all for the first time and i was so confused, and angry. The way he spoke to me is disgusting. But It was like i was reading it for the first time? I was sad and heartbroke initially after leaving. Then a few weeks pass and I dont know why I re-read that stuff and i was thinking what is this garbage? How could I even be heartbroken when this is how he treats me? It's scary that I forgot
