    When relationships with narcissists and borderlines end, it often triggers fears of abandonment and losing control of you. Or, more accurately, breaking up intensifies their usual abandonment and loss of control fears. This can occur even when they’re the ones who end the relationship. Hoovers are an example of the NPD’s/BPD’s abandonment avoidance and control freakery in action. There are different hoover tactics used by narcissists and borderlines during and after a break up.

    Glad to see you back Dr. T! I missed you! Yep, I was Hoovered three times after the divorce/discard: there was the cancer scare, the “ I’ve picked the tree out that I’m going to drive my car into if you don’t talk to me” scare, the “ it was my lawyer’s fault for the divorce”. Anyway, the good news is I’m pretty much fully recovered thanks to you and helping me understand codependency, which is half of the equation. I really love your wit and humor which really puts into perspective how ridiculous these individuals are. Looking forward to part 2! Stay safe!

    Thanks for your videos they are so helpful. Personally for me, I am trying to learn from my experience and never repeat this again. I keep asking myself how did I get here? I use to have boundaries, what happened to me? Is this my fault/ Did I actually deserve this? Was there something I could have done better? All I can say is don't fall for the hoover! The breakup after the two week hoover was SO BAD. He did not just burn the bridge, he blew it up with a nuclear missile. I keep asking myself how could I have loved someone that really seems to be two completely different people in one? All I can do now is figure out why I allowed this treatment and how I can still remain a caring person without allowing someone to completely walk all over me.

  • @Ladyjojo695
    @Ladyjojo695 3 года назад +8

    What sickens me is how they play on peoples emotions. I’m very empathetic and my ex exploited this to the max. After learning about npd and cluster b’s I was basically tortured when trying to leave the relationship. Threatened, abused, and publicly shamed for leaving. I’ve had every hoover I can think of. I block they get new emails etc. J had no support because family were as toxic and vile as the ex. No therapist really understood so I found it so difficult as he was using fake accounts to abuse more for leaving. Police did nothing. But I’ve remained no contact and finally have been left alone for now. Get out stay out and don’t ever respond if possible. Hoovers are just another way to abuse and control you. It’s all lies. They never tell the truth.

    I went through the "Its all you and not me" phase, so I went and talked to a counselor. That was the first time I heard the Narcissistic term. So I went home and started doing my homework. My wife must have read the Narcissistic play book. You are so spot on!!

    I am recovering from heredity co-dependency issues. The "you have changed" struck a chord with me with regards to my (diagnosed) BPD daughter as soon as I enforced boundaries some years ago. The hoovering I am seeing is her falsely pretending to be a "good parent" over the past two weeks as Child Protection, the Police and the Courts have become involved in helping me to protect my 4 year old Grandson from her toxicity and her partner's violent and abusive behaviour. She simply cannot sustain the mask, but she is trying desperately to charm my grandson (total gas-lighting/ denying his reality), the authorities, and my family members.
    I see her, though. I have for a very long time.

    (she cried , missed me so much )
    Me: Finally she sees all i have done for her . The good person i am ❤️( lasted 2 month)
    the 2nd hoover :
    She was worried i would go back to drugs ( she couldent live if something happened to me) At that moment i really felt lo e and that she had a heart .. i was so damn high .. i really believed it .(lasted 3 weeks)
    The last one : She had some of my stuff at her house and my lil daughters sweater ..(she was so sweet and it was arround christmas .. she was heartbroken thinking about us last christmas laughing and having a good time) 1st i told her to trow everything in the garbage and to deal with her behaving and her choices .. and her a good life . She called back and i was like just one night "you know , she was cute "
    So had good sex , laugh’ed .. i was falling back into it !! ( lasted 3 days )
    i ended up beeing her punching bag .. she accused me of cheating. with the sister of my a friend of mine who passed away 2 days before . I blocked her … i got a call from the family who just lost theyre loved one .YOU TELL THAT PSYCOPATH TO STOP CALLING AT OUR HOUSE !!!

He also said to a friend of mine that she needs to get me help and that he’s been trying for years!! Everything you said Tara he said to me over and over. Amongst a million other things but I’m sure you can only imagine....he hoovered me 2 years ago and I fell for it. Said I was the only one that could help him!

    Good job Dr. T. Enjoyed it as usual. Good to have you back. Especially enjoyed the Barry White flashback. My Histrionic, Borderline, Narcissistic Cluster B ex still fires up the old Hoover every year so ...its been 9 years since she filed for divorce. When this happens I politely tell her ..." just about the kids...it hasn't been about you for years"....& that puts an end to it for another year or so....keep yourself happy, healthy & well. Looking forward to your future videos.

  • @northernsegageorge6510

    My ex gf would say she is not chasing me if I walk away and I said ok bye then it was relentless months and months of messaging, voicemails, phone calls, emails. Threats of turning herself off, then she was pregnant (I can’t even have kids but she never knew this), dramatic stores and she needed me. She would tell me it was only me she wanted and yet turns out whilst stalking me that she was sleeping with other guys. The pathological lying was insane. Everything was about her. Her major mood swings. It was just a total head melt to deal with. She still tries to get me.

    Thanks Dr T. Can’t tell you how much your book and videos have helped after 24 years of dealing with my husbands crazy ex wife and now dealing with his two adult daughters who are mimicking her awful behaviour.Manipulation. financial exploitation. Pathological lying etc.We brought them up as she had no interest in them whatsoever. Nor did she pay a penny towards anything they needed growing up. From day one I was targeted. She was also involved in a woman’s suicide after she cheated on my husband for a second time with this guy who was already in a relationship with this poor woman. Knowing her she would have been smearing her etc. Now shes managed to alienate both daughters against us. However, it’s clear the apples didn’t fall far from the tree! Can’t believe we’re still dealing with this crap nearly quarter of a century later! He was only married to this nasty idiot for a few years. What you’ve said is exactly what we’ve been through. These Cluster B’s are an absolute nightmare! Thanks again.

      Thanks. We have done that and they don’t like it! Not surprised by that of course. We’re just not tolerating it anymore. There’s just been so much. Their loyal to evil so anything we say goes right back to the ‘mother’ so you just can’t trust them. These girls are almost 30 their not teenagers! There’s a pattern that when she isn’t with a man she starts using them as tools to abuse by proxy. Her last marriage came to an end three years ago after it lasting only two years and we were ready for the attacks and sure enough it started again. She’s also making up shit about the latest ex husband. Anyway, thanks for your response and help. Your a genius! 😁

    My first hoover was about 4 months ago, after absolute no contact for 3.5 years. She had levelled false allegations about me to the police and ghosted me before moving my replacement into what had been my home within 3 weeks of my departure.
    The hoover itself came in the form of an email to an address I didn't think she had. It was actually what would be termed a "malign" hoover - I have apparently "destroyed her life" and those of her children (who I had brought up as my own), she hates me and wishes me "a long and unhappy life" so I can...wait for it..."reflect on what I lost".
    This initial email was followed up by 3 more in short order, all equally vindictive, spiteful and nasty. Nice.
    She didn't get a response and never will. A hoover are just an attempt to elicit an emotional response.

    • @shrink4men
      @shrink4men  3 месяца назад

      That is inaccurate. BPD people can be every bit as controlling as their NPD people and typically are. BPD and NPD are both Cluster B disorders. One is neither worse nor better than the other. Untreated and treated, they can be incredibly toxic and destructive to others and themselves.
