I was in an abusive relationship for nearly three years and I still have the occasional nightmare about him 35 years later. Trouble is with these sort of men is they hide their true colours until you’ve fallen for them. They are so devious.

Sadly so true but watch Dave Erickson on Narc-ology unscripted youtube videos, & pastor RC Blake's jnr youtube videos on narcissists recovery groups and Tony Gaskins because their videos on narcissists and boundaries are amazing and how to recognise them before you get involved. Dave Erickson was married then divorced from a narcissist he's a Christian and he's twice divorced very sad. But if you live in America your truly blessed. I don't I live in Adelaide South Australia because they hold support groups live with other Empaths

@Reach Honduras thank you for defending me. I appreciate that. I'm so far away now, in my healing, from allowing these thoughtless or brainless or maybe it's soulless, individuals ruin my day. He must be carrying around a great deal of unaddressed anger, which is actually fear, to lash out in such away. Maybe one day he will see that anger is toxic. Eating him up from the inside.

Understand that whatever other people's unconscious actions were towards you it was always about how broken they are. You can heal from the dysfunction they showed us. You truly deserve to be at peace, happy and loved. The biggest battle is truly believing that of ourselves. 💗

Always found ways to embarrass me in public. Telling personal things that were never meant for anyone else to hear. When I finally got tired of this, I decided to show him how it felt, since telling him was not working. I, politely, excused myself from the friends who were with us at the restaurant, and went to the ladies room. When I came out, I had my pantyhose tied around my neck like a scarf. Imagine his embarrassment when his co-workers asked about it. I said just ask Mr. Know it all; he will tell you.

I was married nearly 30 years and divorced at 52. I’m 68 now and thoroughly enjoy the freedom of not having a cranky 24-7 boss. I cook what I like, sleep and eat what I please and arrange my home to suit myself. Sixteen years ago I had no idea what my own decorating taste was. It was fun rediscovering the things I had forgotten about my own self. I hope you will enjoy freedom. (Be sure and don’t marry a new guy in haste. I made that mistake and suffered an even even worse experience for a couple of years.)

Well done you!! I too have had the narcissist father, and I too went into the same sort of relationships. I think women are drawn to men the same as their fathers (early on in their lives), but, they can break the chain, and learn from experience of what they DO NOT WANT!! I now live alone and love it. I was diagnosed as autistic (a late diagnosis) so it was a double whammy for (high functioning) autistic person to be in a home with an narcissist!! Every person deserves to have a good life and be in control of their own destiny. I am glad to hear that you released yourself from this abusive relationships, I just wish some women would have the courage to do the same. There is a book by Joe Navarro (FBI profiler) called "Dangerous Personalities". I would recommend this book to any woman, they need to understand what to look for when dating. It would save a lot of grief and wasted time if they were forewarned and did not marry someone with a dangerous personality!! Well worth the $15 to learn about abusive behaviour - it could save their life!!!

@@NoPlus500 I am so sorry that you have gone through all of that, and yet, still not found happiness. You need to seek out some sort of counselling or therapy, to see if this can help you. It can make a huge difference in your life. Make sure you take care of yourself, and concentrate on YOU!! That is the only way a person can heal. You are a special person and do not forget it. You are a survivor, and you are strong, even though you will not accept this initially, you are very strong, to have gone through all of that. Try to stay away from your family as much as possible, as they will keep reminding you of their opinion. Please find someone who can help you. Do not waste the rest of your life stuck in this limbo.

@@NoPlus500 You are very welcome. Here is where therapy will help.... you will not be missing out on anything more in life, you will see yourself as you are: a wonderful person, who can contribute to society, someone that is happy in your own skin, and not feel worthless. You will wake up every morning and be grateful for another day, rather than feel a twinge of disappointment at waking up AGAIN!! You MUST learn to spoil yourself, be extremely good to yourself, learn (through therapy) to love yourself. You are as good as everyone else, no one is more special, you are a one-off, and that makes you unique. Once you learn to love yourself and have complete respect for yourself, you will be much happier within yourself. Respecting yourself as a human being is very, very important. All damage can be reversed but not forgotten. Take pleasure in the small things in life, the sunshine, walks by a river, just very small things, and it will build into big things. Most of all, look after yourself and stay safe. x

It can be in their favour, but definitely not happening in my marriage. God knows & sees everything and He doesn't want us to stay in abusive relationships. He instituted marriage & He is Love so a marriage should be built on Love & not Abuse/Power Control. We deserve to be happy. We don't get training on abuse so when confronted with it we don't know what to do, but the Spirit convicts us of what is right & wrong. We have to make the CHOICE of what we ALLOW & What NOT to ALLOW. No regrets I'm out. Just waiting patiently to be legally released.

This was my life until 12 years ago after 18 years of marriage. (I was 57 years old; I am now 69.) I hired an attorney, opened a checking account, rented a house, and made a spreadsheet of everything we owned and how I thought it should be divided between us. This took about a month. Then I came home early from work one day and said, "I'm moving out." He said, "I'm not surprised." I showed him the spreadsheet, and he agreed to everything I proposed. I moved out that weekend and he and my son helped me move. I have only seen him twice since. I'm now married to the most wonderful man who adores me and treats me right.

Your comment on leaving with only the clothes on your back made me think of the scene with Angela Basset playing Tina Turner when she’s running in a city and goes into a hotel explaining she has been abused and wish to stay at the hotel even though she has no money at the moment because she had to run off without her things in order to survive her husband’s physical abuse. I had a teacher in middle school and she sat us students down to watch ”What’s Love Got To Do With it”, which obviously upset many parents and her response to their anger was ”the lesson from this movie about abuse is the most important thing these kids will have to learn in life because they will either be abused, be the abuser or know someone who is either of those two things or maybe both. They need to know what it is before they are in it.” She’s still getting contacted by adults who had her as a teacher as a child, who thanked her for teaching them about self-worth, boundaries and healthy love, and some guys got themselves in therapy to sort their anger issues thanks to remembering her lessons she taught them as small boys. My previous teacher was so right about the idea of children being too small to be aware of grown up things is wrong given they will one day be grown-ups and childhood is very short and they will not stay children. The idea children can have friends but not be taught about other things is so off and coward parenting. Seriously don’t bother having children if you’re not willing to raise them properly. With proper damage control we would potentially not need to hear yet another woman who has been abused by a man or read about yet another woman dying at the hands of a man, instead healthy relationship would be a thing for all. *I’m glad this woman is a survivor!*

True but I’ve had that freedom for 45 years and it is also true that it has made my life feel empty and pointless. And you miss out on so much. There are lots of things I cannot do alone, like hire a boat, and many the holiday I have taken alone and spent it in tears with the loneliness. Abuse from a spouse must be worse than being single but they are both unhealthy debilitating experiences that nobody deserves or wants. You might be happy being single now, but that’s only because it is new to you. Incidentally maybe the husband mentioned in the video was suddenly abusive because he was developing an illness like dementia or depression or something else.

He would not allow me to hold even a p/t job so I had no work experience. I decided to go to school. As it turned out, I was up at the top of the class and discovered I was not stupid after all.

But hey I know the feeling of that cup of coffee with no fear that someone will come and ruin even that. We become powerful women....Hopefully with a message of power.

I began to realize that I was merely a servant to him... also, I was a housewife while I was married to him, and he seemed to always look up to women that had a "real career"... and he seemed to have it in his head that the only successful women were in the medical industry... Interesting- his girlfriend manages a medical office or something like that... so that deems her worthy of his approval... Apparently having three kids and taking care of the house and putting up with him just wasn't worthwhile in his eyes ... you know what?

I finally realized God didn’t want that for anyone and my kids needed to see me be strong and not let myself be mistreated. I can tell you have a lot of compassion.

The solution was to leave or risk escalating violence and abuse.

He was handsome, kind, smart etc etc etc. Then a month after the wedding, BOOM! Out came the rage. He never hit me but the next 15 years was full of emotional abuse and anger. I lost my independent and strong self trying to make a marriage work because I just didn't want another divorce. It ripped my heart out to leave him. I found out after leaving him that the emotional abuse was far worse than the physical abuse from the first marriage. It took some therapy to put myself back together again. I turned to writing and it's been a God-send. I'm glad this woman was able to get away.

What a beautiful lady ♥ It's sad to be in a relationship with someone who no longer respects you... You have to break away from all Negativity in life and don't let it take you down..... I'm glad she broke away and can start living her life again, even at 62 it's not to late for happiness.

I can totally relate ... except my ex never yelled at me - he was the opposite- he would ignore me and stay silent... mine also was a financial abuser. He was an oil executive... made millions - and did not share or let me nest our home, etc. he finally got a 25 years younger girlfriend and we divorced. It’s been very difficult to get past this life I had with him. I also have PTSD from the emotional pain. I am on the way up though now ! You are beautiful, by the way. Thank you for sharing.

My father gave my mom cutting and sarcastic remarks as well. I think because she did not work, he felt he had the right to voice his frustration upon her. She took care of 3 children so she did not sit around being lazy all day. She made sure the house was clean, she prepared the meals, washed the dishes, did the laundry and even trimmed the hedges. She was by no means lazy and always had a smile for him except when he insulted her. Then she had compassion and sorrow in her eyes.

After a life changing stroke, my husband of 28 yrs went from verbal to physical abuse. I put up with the abuse for 2 years and I knew he had a big problem with anger but would not get help for it. I had no choice but to leave and I got a protective order. The turning point was not just the abuse but when he said to me " I ALLOW you" to make any decisions that I had been making for the past 2 years. Even though he was incoherent for 1 1/2 years after the stroke and I was forced to make all decisions. He did not remember how I had to teach him to walk and handle the closing of his business as he was not able to function at that capacity. When he came back as this totally different person, he was full of anger and took everything out on me.

Thank you so much for your story. I have lived a similar one. Everyone thinks my husband is such a nice guy. I tell them the story but it's like they just can't believe it. Some do. Im' 61 now and he was so nice after he asked me to marry him. After I did, slowly his rage came out and I was in Hell. I stayed thinking it was me, that he will change if this happens or that happens. I was a 42 year old young at heart pretty women when I met him. The same thing happened to me where everything was his. His job was important, and like everything else, it was his way. I had no choices. Then my mom passed suddenly and I needed to stay. By the time 2011 came around I saw a lawyer. But she made it clear I wouldn't be able to have enough money unless I stayed longer. So I did. It's too long to write it out. I got the same book and he fit much of it. His rage hurt my ears. They ring now easily. I'm working my way out.

At 62 I also started over - with nothing. My life existed inside a 1 bedroom apt with no access to money, a car, or anything. Mine was a 23 yr relationship with a man who did this to me. I hadn't left home for over 2 years. I wasn't allowed to go anywhere, do anything, or have people come see me. I used to be a strong decisive woman but now can't even decide if I want to eat. I'm too afraid to face him & his aggressive attorney in court, so I let him have everything. But I finally don't worry if I'm doing something wrong. My sons have let me live with them & I am starting to open the blinds and see the beauty in the world again. I feel as if my life was stolen from me, but this story gives me hope that I will be strong again one day.
