Fantastic! I’m taking your course and it’s fantastic. I’m definitely taking my time in the written lessons because I want to dig deep so I never get involved with a narcissist again. I married two of them and am currently separated and have divorce papers for the 2nd. Thank you Mr Grannon! Also, you’re funny so that’s great too! 😊

Sadly everybody is a narcissist some degree because narcissism is rooted in selfishness varying degrees it's just more prevalent now because of all the KZfaq clickbait videos falsely educating people telling them that so many common traits are actually narcissistic traits it's like every mood swing a personality Quirk is now narcissism or some type of disorder remember out here folks it's all clickbait and the Bots and the algorithms do most of the work clickbait and more propaganda brainwashing some people watch and believe anyting

When I was weak and contacted her - after I found out about narcissism and realised the harm she did - it confirmed the effect she has on me, so after a bit, I resisted calling. Now, it's easy not not to. I am 70, she is 94. She has excellent care and lives in her own home. I'll never recover from her harm but feel as if no contact brings some healing, and certainly peace.

A weak narc doesn't scare me. If a narc can get one over on you, then you got a lot of work ahead of you. A narc is immature, be more mature than them! Simple as that. If a narc scares you. Work harder. Buy cameras. Buy a gun. Secure your home. Learn how to fight. Etc. Narcs are weak ppl. They don't scare me. I've experienced enough narcs in my life that I know not to get involved with certain ppl. Weak ppl can't get close enough to me to ever be a threat! It may be lonely life for certain types of ppl. But not for me. I'm quite content in learning in my own mind everyday! Keep weak minded ppl at a distance. Don't be so needy for other ppls friendship. Be needy of your own needs! People see me as a loner type, quiet, weirdo, insecure maybe. They don't see the inner peace of mind and confidence in being uncontrollable and untouchable. Fearing very little in life, makes you narc proof! Having no fear is a difficult thing to cultivate tho... Having absolutely no fear of being ALONE is key! It takes years of emotional abuse, hard work and dedication! Maybe even some tragedy thrown in the mix!! 😂😢 Good luck 🍀 😁

It also drives people who are insecure or have abandonment issues. Just accusing people of being narcissists and then using that to justify being cold and cruel to people is horrible and it’s happening all the time. I was accused of being a narcissist by a part er’s friend who didn’t like me and from then on it was all about proving I was a narcissist. Spying on me, testing me, accusing me of cheating getting jealous that a female friend would wish me a happy birthday or that I knew females platonically. Everyone can be a jerk or show signs of narcissism at times. When you experience someone acting the way this guys is talking about it’s awful and triggers anyone who is insecure.

I'm 72 year old widow and I let my 46 year old adult narcissistic son move in when his girlfriend threw him out. I felt sorry for him, so I told him he could stay until he could find his own place to stay. That was 7 months ago. He has narcissistic personality disorder and paranoia. He wont leave and is making me miserable. The attorney wants $3000.00 to get him out with no guarantee that we would win. I live in fl and it's very hard tti get someone out of you home once you let them move in. Pray for a miracle.

He got 7 years and was allowed to get her money as well… this was in 2008 in Hamburg, Germany. Took me 12 years and 4 children, before I understood that my Husband was a hidden narc and his mother is evil too… And then left him and fought for everything for 5 years / still do… If YOU can, MOVE out as soon as possible.

He wants her totally dependent upon him. 2 days ago he blew up at her and became mentally and emotionally abusive, yelling at her and cussing her for forgetting something he had said a week ago.

She's sleeping, but her affirming touch has been as much as possible. She's not usually this touchy. But she's amping it up because I have told her that touch is calming. Thanks for the comment, I have been flipping between a feeling of freedom and immense loss and needed to hear that the long term will be positive. Fortunately my brother and I are steady and talk almost daily, not about that... But at least I still have a part of my family left.

I had a similar experience with a former friend, weird guy but I always thought he was harmless. Then one day out of nowhere I found myself sitting in my lounge room with him telling me I was bipolar, and he got trigger angry when I told him that I'll be sticking with the advice of health professionals. He did get a swift kick in the arse after I marched him out of the house. That was delusional level gaslighting. The only other time I saw him after that was when he came into my office after getting a job with my work a few years later, the dickheads job for a week was sheepishly emptying my bin before I had him moved to another area. He got himself fired shortly after.

The principle of "love your neighbour " is dangerous with them, they use it to manipulate you. That's one of the things I learned in the year of therapy that I needed after I finally got myself free of the psycho. It was painful to find out that my good intentions had been used to emotionally manipulate me for years, that everything I had gone through was deliberately inflicted on me. But it was. I'm smarter now, but I paid a huge price for it, both financially and emotionally. Beware of people like that.

I'm the only non narcissist in my family. I had a very troubled young adulthood. I'd been the scapegoat of the family, they were quite delighted at my downward spiral. But I got sober. Stayed sober. Married the perfect man. Started a business that grew and became very successful. I have a beautiful life now. I went no contact a few years ago. I ran for and won an election in a rather large city, in an important position. That was the last straw for them. I keep defying their beliefs about me (drug addicted psychopath). It made them both go crazy. The things they did to try to bring me to my knees were insane, and I gave them zero energy. Don't fall for their tactics, folks. Just stay away and pretend they never existed.

May I ask how you began breaking the mould? I'm from the same dynamic. Since I was a young child I was forced into the role of the dysfunctional, downfall mentally ill loser. Upon awakening, I've noticed how I was misguided and manipulated into many things that made me fit the role to a tee. Requests for support and help ignored, issues used against me to justify abuse and alienation, and self destructive habits enabled. Even now trying to heal from the destruction, I'm sabotaged, ostracized, and gaslit.

Once I figured out that my family members were deliberately provoking me into a frenzy I stopped reacting to their provocation. I dissected what they were doing to their faces and let them know that I knew exactly what they were doing and Why. They NEEDED to be able to provoke me. They loved and sought me out until the day I stopped reacting.They no longer had any use for me after that. It was very freeing.

I personally believe they want you to feel as miserable as they do. They also don't want an adult relationship but a dog that listens to every command they give (is my personal experience). And yes, if you don't do what they say/behave the way they expect, they will act out like some children would. Do be carefull with not giving them any emotional supply though, because some can lash out even more to try and get the response they want. Be safe. If you can, remove them from your life. You'll feel so much better.

You sound like an evil person. A good person would show compassion for their spouse. A good person would not de-humanize their spouse with an unreliable science (i.e. Psychology); comprised of fake labels (e.g. Narcissist) for common human behavior. There are examples distinct types (alpha/beta) of males and females in the Holy Scriptures. The archetypes exist in nature for a purpose. To demonize one type or the other is to mock the God who created them.

@@GR-uk5ou I would caution you to be very careful throwing a word like "entitled" around without knowing someone's back story. I am a 69 yr old female who was told that college would not be allowed because it was expected of me to continue to work in the family business. I graduated with a regents degree and a regents scholarship. It went to waste. Why? Because my parents' immediate needs were more important than my future. What I just shared in this statement is the tip of the iceberg of what my life was like growing up in connection with parents who only cared about themselves. I have spent the last 15 yrs healing from an emotionally and physically abusive marriage that I stayed in to protect my two children. I fled with nothing because my lawyer was intimidated by my ex's mob associates. I was fortunate to escape with my life. I kept my initial statement short and sweet because I didn't want to share all the details of why I am a survivor of heavy narcissism that has surrounded me my entire life. Don't even attempt to try to call me out when you know nothing about me. That word "entitled"? That is how narcissists feel about themselves. In their world they are "owed" and they really don't care who they stomp on to get what they perceive they "deserve". It would serve you well to understand that you picked the wrong person to throw that label onto.

Not punishment but beatings. Why? Because I didn't finish a chore, or I burnt the potatoes, or I "lied" about something. And on and on it went. I learned as a small child that the truth was never believed. I married a man who love bombed me. And when the honeymoon was over he began the same insidious emotional abuse and using the tool of intimidation over and over again. Cheating, lieing and thievery all because he felt entitled. I lived in fear throughout my childhood and then stepped right into it again in my marriage. I would caution you to be careful how you speak to a very knowledgeable survivor of a lifetime of narcissist abuse.

1) Deny them the delusion of their false self 2) Show them that their knowledge of you is completely wrong 3) Remove all of the emotional food coming from you 4) Subtly show them that you know more than they do 5) Withdraw all adoration and supply to them - quietly turn away as tho they are just boring now 6) Turn your full atention to your own life and goings on 7) Separate your entire emotional being from them, defy your own attachment to them and leave them in the dust behind you when they behave badly. In other words, be the parent to the small child you are dealing with, becoz these are all the things that a parent will do to their child. I have done all of this, but I let them come back whenever they need, they just don't have license to do what they want to do, they get disciplined like all children do. They always come back, but they learn that they just can't get away with what they want - they will either just not bother to come back one day, or they slowly start to change themselves and if they perceive that you can be trusted, they will eventually even let their guard down, but you must be fully in charge of you, not needing their input at all, busy busy busy, with goals for YOU and an excitement of what the future holds. It is contagious and they just cannot help themselves becoming engrossed in the picture of the future YOU have drawn, not the lost maze that they are caught in. Remember, you are dealing with little kids and kids love games and need a parent, so take them to YOUR party and show them how much fun life really can be! Corinthians 13:4... Love never fails... ;)

But narcissists are made in childhood. They never aspired to it! Never asked to be a narcissist! And strangely enough, they usually have no clue they are sabotaging their relationships with these traits! None at all! So while I understand your anger, and I have some of my own for my narcissist, I still have plenty of compassion for them. I don't want to deal with them daily anymore, but deep down, I hope they will overcome or at least control their narcissistic traits and have happier lives! Because I am pulling for them. They are lovely, fascinating people outside of their narcissistic traits! It was those traits that drove me away. Otherwise I'd love to be still involved with the last one. Lots of positives but the negatives were way, WAY to much to deal with. I'm sad I had to leave. And I'm very sad they are so afflicted!!! And don't seem to even know it, yet. It is a tragic situation all around! I don't blame them, but I will if they don't do something to learn how to cope with it! Being ill is not a shameful thing. Refusing to get help is!

For me this is what messed me up the most, as someone who struggles maintaining a steady, concrete sense of self, hearing someone whom I thought knew me describe me as something I completely didn’t resonate with. I questioned myself, beat myself up, and felt shame for so long after that relationship. It’s been three years and I still find myself reliving lightning like flashes of stomach turning panic when I hear their words reverberate through out my mind again. I believe they reflect onto you your worst fears, and their own inner most insecurities, they paint you with the colors you fear and they loathe the most. They read you in part just to be able to launch this exact attack on you later. The things they so desperately attempt to project as being their authentic self to the public, are the things they twist and pervert and use against others.

It can seem to take over your life but I’m convinced that ‘sitting in the muck so I can clean it up’ is the ugly work that I MUST do so that I can truly show up for myself & move forward. For me, dealing with narcissistic friends, bosses & co- workers has been a battle but I’ve learned so much about myself & become resilient. It’s harder to process familial narcissism if you were groomed the way I was. However, I’m changing with the times & acquiring so many tools to reframe all the abuse. Meditation & many other ways of being mindful have & continue to help me break away from the rumination & other losses sustained from narcissistic abuses I’ve experienced. Major advancement happens when we detach from the abuse & see it as an external entity that wasn’t my fault( I was a child) & that I can’t change the facts of how I was treated, but I can certainly make a conscious choice to not define my inner sense of self by another human’s lack of compassion toward me. I finally learned to be empathetic toward my self & am cutting toxic people out of my life. There are a lot of toxic people out there. We are learning to be immune to their venom.

@@alicelovescats888 here is a real life example. I enabled no contact after the narc smeared me to our friend circle resulting in no one talking to me. She proceeded to post much more than usual, fawning over her new coterie and making sure to post things that would irritate me. Theoretically, I would reach out pissed off, curse her out and try to defend myself to our acquaintances. I realized this after previously succumbing to silent treatment by calling her to ask if I had done something wrong, a reverse hoover success! This time, I allowed the smear campaign to continue, blocked the mutuals, and moved forward. The point of the reverse is to get the target/supply to reach out thus hoovering themselves and allowing the narc to parade the target to others like "See how obsessed they are? They won't leave me alone"

My neighbour is one. He has CCTV cameras up, but when I had my garden vegetables stolen and put some up, all legally sited, he started a whole sh*t show, complaning to the landlord, council etc. They all ignored him. So one day , he came out into a communal area of garden and said to me 'see this bit of land here? You don't own it!' , to which I replied ' But, neither do you!'. He completely shut down, his little eyes swivelling in his head, till he blurted out ' well see those cameras? I saw you moving them so they're looking in my window '. The CCTV installer laughed at that - they're screwed into position and can't be moved. What really started it was that I was in the garden one day, too busy to notice him, and he took umbrage because, as the centre of the universe, he had been ignored ...

The sad part for me that took me totally being broken by my ex wife trying to love her enough to change her(codependent) and codependent on her opinion of me, trying to change the way she saw me almost destroyed me spiritually. I am on the road to recovery with alot of support and therapy. Self care and awareness of our own tendencies can make us more aware not to let it happen again.

Most teens are naturally Narcissistic, they're still trying to put together who they are while going through huge amounts of change. There are exceptions to this rule, children raised by Narcissists have either had the decision made for them or have to choose to deprograme themselves or go the route of the parent. These kids can be a little messed up as they don't always know any better. There's also kids who are just Cluster Bs from the earliest age if they have good or bad parents, they are the ones to keep your kids away from.

When I was playing cat and mouse with a criminal narcissist, it was pretty exciting. The level of terror is difficult, but very interesting to recapitulate. When I was really young my mom beat me for a year, calculated, above the hairline (everyone thought I just didn't want to wash my hair), on my chest, my ass, my back (so no one would see it when I had a tank top or shorts on), I got to a point where I just watched her beat me. I knew she'd was going to kill me one day so I never went back, but asking for help was just absurd in my community. The decision making in the eyes, the non-human quality, and just watching her fall deeper and deeper into that over the months, was also interesting. Watching how it was so easy for my sister to create a narrative in my family that everyone believed. Watching people become flying monkeys. It's kind of fascinating as hell, but I wouldn't tell anyone that in my real life... What I learned is there is no amount of hell you can withstand that will bring their souls back from wherever they go as they lose that humanness, that light, in their eyes. I feel so utterly sad for them. I also realized as I was writing this, a deeper layer of understanding of a concept written about by Nelson Mandela. The initiator of coercion commits more violence against his own soul, as those he violates. Ultimately, if you survive, this makes for an incredibly interesting understanding of sociology. But yeah, beyond that, I could have been with a community that was creating parallel values to the current consensus, but knowing the enemy is important, too. "So it goes...." Vonnegut 😭😂❤️

Yes, one full chapter of my life. But the chapter was nearly 30 years long! I am ashamed and embarrassed to even think about what it all means. I'm an old man now. I have wasted my adulthood! WASTED IT! 28, 29 YEARS OF WASTED TIME TRYING TO BE WHAT 'SPECIAL PERSON' FOR SOMEONE, BUT I NEVER MADE IT. ANYONE can get sucked in, but 30 years??!!! Wow!!! I knew something was off, and I had no idea what it was or how to fix it. But when you feed several of the issues into the computer it gives you a few possibilities to investigate. And being a narcissist fit like a custom fitted glove! None of the other initial possible situations even came close! My parents are both gone now so that is a huge help for me. I don't have to deal with their weirdness, which was always difficult, very odd and not a great run up or preparation to adulthood and adult relationships! I'm fairly certain dear ol' mom was a full-blown narcassist and dad was either a junior one or he modeled/mirrored mom. She definitely had the stronger personality of the two. I think she overwhelmed him to a large degree and he got remade into what she wanted! Or needed. So I had plenty of practice in dealing with narcissists growing up, so of the 3 major relationships I've had, looking back, all 3 certainly had many traits and characteristics of narcissists. And most likely were certifiable narcissists! Why else would there have been that attraction going on? There isn't any! I'm alarmed to realize these things now. I am leary of even thinking about being happy with someone new or of being able to chart a new path with relationships, or even friendships. Time will tell. At this point it seems way to much to even hope for! But humans have a strong sense of 'well, maybe, tomorrow will be better'. And that I still have! My sense of optimism wasn't been completely extinguished!

as a covert narcissist, tactics 3 and 7 are the most profound actions you can undertake against me. tactic 3 initiates the "death" that richard talks about, which is more commonly known as the narcissistic collapse. nothing hurts more than being grounded from my delusions of my grandeur of unobjectionable superiority. tactic 7 is the final nail in the coffin - the most powerful thing you can do against me. it does not hurt as much as tactic 3, but that is because by the time someone decides to do this, my ego has already been shattered and nothing more can break it. unrelated, but this video seems like an example of "it takes one to know one".

As soon as I started detaching myself from him, he started dating online, I found motel receipts, bills on pornsites, etc… he made sure he had a new “supply “ right away even before the divorce has been filed! I see him struggling now with everything because I spoiled him then- I was his servant literally! He is a drug addict too , and i’ve been dealing with this for 30+ yrs! And so one day, I woke up and told myself… enough already. it was the best decision I have ever made! I am mentally, physically, emotionally drained lately but knowing that there are people who went through the same cycle of emotional abuse, and got out of it, really encourages me to stay focused on the goal- Treat him like he never existed, and enjoy my freedom and the beautiful life that awaits me!

It's so true how narcissists don't even know what their partners or friends are genuinely interested in. I've had two narcissistic exes. I sometimes didn't receive gifts on my birthday or Christmas. On rare occasions when I did receive a gift, it was a leaf blower (something he needed, obviously) or some kitchen appliance, nothing fun. They truly do have a simplistic, tone-deaf view of people around them. The gift thing is a minor and petty issue, I know. Most of the scenarios Richard mentions resonate with my past experiences.

Number 5, no supply: if you’re capable of holding your emotions, you’ll notice how many traps they lay to illicit an emotional response. It’s to bait you into making a mistake or saying something you regret. When they can’t draw that out of you, they’ll break down and start spiraling.

Then they go out to your children or anyone else that they can to badmouth you and to lie about you and they do it in a way that you can't be there to defend yourself so you just have to hope that someday the people who are foolishly listening to them and trusting their word will finally wake up and see that that's not how it was all along

My mother became a supreme narcissist during menopause. I became the target when I divorced and remarried. I mourned losing my sweet mother from childhood, but then she pulled her biggest card & forced my dad to have no contact with me. He would sometimes sneak a quick visit to me. I only went back to be with my daddy shortly before he became bedridden with dementia and parkinsons. I tolerated her so I could love my dad. After he passed, she attempted to keep in touch. I refused to reply in any way & cut her completely off. She had already died to me a long time ago & I don't even know the person she became. The irony is she's the one who taught me to love myself enough to NEVER take abuse from ANYONE! Walking away was easy & my life is so peaceful. I'm just thankful that she was a great mom when I was little & I still love that mom, but I've never regretted walking away from who she became.

oh an added PS. wow, I never had someone confirm for me what I have always experienced with them. their "holding audience" - their lengthy pauses, to keep you there standing there "listening to their diatribe", the longest, most boring, lengthy ignorant "conversations" they attempt to hold with you.............I never allow this ever, my body reacts and I start walking backwards. As a kid in school when this happened (it did but I had no idea it was narcissistic at the time), my body would take over and I would start choking, I couldn't get air, couldn't breathe, so I would have to leave the class. It only happened with a mean math teacher I had, he didn't have to direct his energy at me but it was just who he was and I would start to choke and then leave class. I discovered this again in church when a certain minister would be there, the long boring monotone of "see how important I am, listen to ME!" and I would start to actually choke and leave. My body would react because I was too polite to leave but I started to realize that I needed to ACKNOWLEDGE that this for me was INTOLERABLE. So now whenever it happens, I start backing off, like, "I have to go now" and I beg off and leave. No more choking! So that's my lengthy share, God bless everyone to wake up and to heal.

My new motto!❤ "I exsited before you and I will exsit after you. You were one short chapter in my life." Thank you so much! After 8 years of letting him belittle me about my weight, my hair, my children and family, my jobs, ghosting, bread crumbling. I cooked, cleaned, groomed our 3 boys which I miss more than him, took care of him through his illnesses and surgeries, his constant relationships texting other women to stroke his ego since having sexual relationship was not an option anymore due to his health, I have my own money and never had to take money from him. Last August I unfortunately had to take custody of my grandchild from my daughter due to addictions. We talked about it and he said he would stand by me emotionally. Well I went Easter weekend cleaned, cooked, waited on him hand and foot and when we went to bed that night I cuddled up to hold him and he pushed my arm away, not like stop it but close. So I went to my side and went to sleep. I woke about 3 AM Easter Sunday got up showered and dressed. Had a cup of coffee reading my news. And a Easter pray popped up. I read and prayed and about 6 AM something came over me. I loaded my overnight bag up. Love my boys and went kissed him letting him know I was going back to my house to hide Easter eggs for my grandchild. He was asleep and said do what and I repeated myself and kissed him let him know I would call to let him know I made it. I drove 2 hrs almost every weekend to keep him on his pedestal. I called no answer, texted nothing back, he ghosted me. I did not chase or beg. Everything in me screamed this 77 year old man was trying to make me choose between him and a 9 year old I felt sick. I have not called and will not. I love him but my grandchild comes first so I know it is over. I haven't figured out yet how to arrange to get my things as I have accumulated many things there I always thought someday he would change. But he never will. I can only say God bless him and God take care of my boys (dogs). Amen Blessings Overflowing Call me crazy but I believe I am an earth angel. For over 40 years I have been a caregiver. Worked for 22 years one family 3 generations. He always called me a werido but I knew I was his life line. Your video was meant for me to see this moment. Thank you

Another big wakeup call was he treated me WAY different than anyone else he came into contact with. Be it his brothers, his kids, or co-workers, etc. I was always talked down to, complaining about every single move I made. This was more relevant when he was preparing to discard me.

A LOT of this happened at work with a narc. She eventually over played their hand, she started making mistakes and was getting caught up in the lies. Because of the videos I’m watching on narcissism I was able to deal with her by taking the emotion to almost nothing. She would point out others mistakes, and all I said was I would look into it and walked away. Eventually everyone did the same and she quit!

The ex narc went from hero to zero in a few months. He would rip me to shreds and have me in tears while he sat laughing or smirking. He recorded me without my knowledge, winding me up to blow my lid, then played it back, again laughing. I then recorded him for 5 months before I moved out, all his rages, tempers and threats. Once he threatened me, I was done with him and he knew it. Sometimes on recordings I would answer him back, sometimes I said nothing. I would play them back to myself to hear exactly what he said, so the next time he would say something, I told him only last week he said the opposite, and he would deny it. A lot of horrible verbal abuse from him, isolated me in my bedroom for 2 1/2 months before I moved out although I owned 25% of the house we had bought 3 months earlier, I was banned from rooms, using the cooker, he even turned the radiator off in my bedroom, switched off his little freezer I kept my newly bought frozen food in and ruined it all. On the advice of my lawyer, I took the recordings I had at the time to the Police, they phoned me to get his mobile number to invite him in for a voluntary interview as they have a case against him for harassing me. I have to go back and do a video statement and give them the last 3 weeks recordings where he would barge into my bedroom day and night without knocking just to mouth off or intimidate me. I had to get a camera installed as it was getting out of hand, he stopped coming in then and I only left my room when he went to work or went out. He had no idea I was recording him….he does now. He was downright evil and now I’m away 7 weeks, it is so peaceful and I can sleep at night knowing he has no idea where I am.

Good evening Mr. Grannon, I appreciate your video. What I found fascinating about my ex covert narcissist is that he would use my mistrust towards men who have betrayed me in the past and gaslight me into thinking that I am the one accusing him being untrustworthy to the point where he feels justified to leave me. He claimed I mistrust him so much because I'm taking out my past experiences of men out on him. While it is possible to have counter-transference on occasion, it is beyond childish immaturity, it takes complex thought to be able to carefully manipulate someone to where you can take someone's past experiences of mistrust as a way to not have to take accountability for anything prior to discard. It puts me in a state of cognitive dissonance and partial truths that I have to accept within my own insecurities combined with his insistence that he is loyal and trustworthy. It allowed him to completely be blame-free from his commitment to me.

Love this! Wow! It certainly resonates with me. I've had the misfortune of having many narcs in my life. It seems like when you get one, radar is sent out to other narcs that broadcasts the message "We have another victim here!" and they all hover and fly in (along with their insipid flying monkeys) and ingratiate themselves into your life. I was married to one such person and had professional relationships with 2 others who thought I should be a mini them! No way! Once out I found out who they really were (under their shiny, happy and larger than life disguises) - dishonest, controlling, and manipulative, I ended those relationships. Now I am assertive, speak my mind and don't put up with bull crap. I'm still dealing with a bit of the aftermath but after getting some counselling and listening to empowering and inspiring videos like this one, I am finally healing! Many thanks to you Richard Grannon for the work you're doing!

It can be weakening to hear no.6 because it almost feels impossible, the trauma bond isn’t child’s play and each time you go back to “make it work “ it only gets worse, they know you know who they are and thereof become even more confident to have you experience their outmost level of monstrosity. It’s like a movie y’all but the day I saw the disrespect and entitlement was the day I didn’t respond to their question “why aren’t you here?” That became my victory song. I hope you get your victory song too someday

The sunflower metaphor has got to be the absolute most truthful thing I've ever heard about these types of relationships. 🤯🤯 I am blessed for the lessons this relationship has taught me because I now know and understand my worth. I am also grateful I was able to rise above, move on to do, be and feel better. I truly hope this video can inspire anyone who is struggling with a low vibration, uncomfortable and hurtful relationship. You are enough and you are not alone. ❤
