Thank you. This describes my entire life. This behavior by the Narcs disabled my body for 1/2 of my life by just absorbing it all. God has delivered me from them all.
I really struggle with trying to differentiate between holding a grudge/ hate and acknowledging the truth. I’ll be honest I really feel hate sometimes with how perpetually blatant and sick it is. It’s literally made me chronically ill and still it persists with evolving but ultimately the same nature of tactics. It’s disgusting. I’m grateful for the resources you produce, it’s so incredibly hard to find them anywhere else grounded in God’s word that I trust
I think you're right & it can be so confusing trying to figure it all out. I think that it's, at least in part, related to how the modern church teaches on forgiveness. It's often more humanistic than biblical, i.e., I forgive that person b/c what they did wasn't that bad after all, or b/c I'm not perfect either, or b/c they had a bad childhood, etc. I personally believe the church has gotten really unbalanced in preaching this worldly notion of forgiveness w/o preaching on justice, truth, and the courage to stand up for the weak/vulnerable and to confront and right wrongs.
For me to wake up from the abuse took so many different yet perfect events in my life to have played out the way they did for me to be able to finally see the truth. God recently helped me understand Romans 1. To me he literally is talking about how narcissists are the way they are. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:21-32 KJV
