That is my adult daughter exactly, and I was not even aware that it was patterned narcissistic behaviors. However I recognized them as unacceptable behavior for me, but maintained a limited presence with her in order to be there for my grandchildren who suffered so much at her hands. I felt that if I'd cut myself off, which is my way of dealing with any kind of disrespectful behavior towards me, I'd also be leaving the children to deal with her without any support for them. So I waited until they were grown, all the while giving them positive support and trying to help them love and respect themselves and become empowered despite how they were treated. Actually it was the eldest one who told me she was a narcissist. Lol. Then I knew they would be okay. But I worry about the youngest one who is completely taken over and controlled by her mother and does not even know how to cope. Hopefully sharing this video with them will help them to understand better. Thanks.

"It feels like you can't do anything right." "Riddled with contempt....like they are disgusted with you." "Loss of psychological safety." "False promises and moving the goal posts." "Anxiety, depression, and physical illness." All of these things were SO prevalent in my last relationship. I was terrified of coming home after work because I didn't know what I'd be coming home to. I suffered in silence because every time I tried to express how I was feeling, I was attacked and dismissed and blamed. It's truly the worst relationship I've ever experienced.

You both are the reason I am literally still alive. I went through so much of this abuse as the Scapegoat child and then in my 5 year marriage from hell. I was that person Dr. Ramani described that had a hard time getting out, of the marriage. Then the post abuse, stalking, death threats. It all became too much. After all the gaslighting, physical abuse, egg shell walking, I became a shadow of my former self. It has taken a lifetime to recover. It's an endless ongoing process, this recovery. Gathering yourself back bit by bit. But it is possible, with a lot of hard work. You become someone else, evolved. When you pass the place of being angry with yourself for putting up with it for so long, you'll have discernment. You'll be glad and grateful you stuck around life. You can fall in love with you and then be proud of you. All that you survived. You don't recover alone in a vaccume. Thank you both for being there, you can't begin to imagine what you've both helped me overcome. Mahalo and aloha.❤😊

I am now 72 years old, and even though it is very late for me in this lifetime, I shudder to think what would have happened to me had I continued my path in blindness and not had the immense good fortune to discover you and thus come to understand what this horror story is all about. Whatever is left of my life, you have saved it. May God Bless You Abundantly and Always. Thank you!

I am 72 also. At age 29, I called my grandma and said I had to get out of here. She said pack up your girls and come. I felt immediate relief. An hour later, my folks called and said ‘you can’t come here, you have to stay there. I knew he was crazy. I knew I had to leave. 50 years of marriage later, I could have had a different life and possibly a better life for my girls. No surprise now, I now know that my parents were narcissists.

I can just add and affirm: these two wonderful people have helped me to see the truth about my 34 year marriage which got worse and worse which was presented as my fault. Once I saw the list describing what covert narc looked like, I could only mark each one of them with a yes check mark. I am healing now 18 months later. The divorce proceedings is an uphill battle but I have my peace. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT by these videos. Greetings from Europe!

The point about "conflict actually feels threatening" is so relevant to me. My brother is a narcissist. During childhood, I saw friends fight each other, brother VS brother, and physically roughhouse when having a disagreement. Then they would resolve their fight and continue playing soccer or something. But when my brother and I had a fight, it would be a horrible experience for me. People say, "you learn to disagree, to stand up for yourself, etc." That's not what was happening at all. What was happening is, I was being abused and dominated by an older, bigger brother. There was never a resolution to any discussion. It wasn't healthy conflict.

The other thing that happens with gaslighting is that the target gets tired of fighting back because there is no use. I did not stop trusting myself, I ended up walking away because I knew this would not end.

You are exactly right, and that’s where I’m at. It’s SO exhausting to defend and argue and feel you have to show “proof” all the time even then it won’t matter. You’re caught between giving them the satisfaction of thinking they’ve broken you bc you don’t argue anymore… or wearing yourself out and wasting all this energy and time defending and defending. You lose either way. I finally realize this is the case right now and that my only hope is to leave. It’s just-honestly I’m scared to freakin death. Even as bad as it is now… my fear keeps me stuck… like panicky crippling fear. I hate it so much. I know he’s never going to change… I literally scold myself constantly for being such a scared wimp and allowing this to continue!

As in my Alanon Program, I learned that it was not the alcoholic who had to change, but I who needed to change. This also holds true in s Narcissist relationship. Radical Acceptance is absolutely necessary to survive and live beyond what we are stuck in. And eventually at some point the dynamics work quite well. I have survived and rebuild my life. Thanks to Dr.C. and Dr. R. God bless both of you for your great dedication to the mental health of millions.❤

Narcissists never take accountability for anything. They are the kind of people who could be driving down the street, and have an accident and hit your car that is parked in your own driveway, and try to make it seem that it is YOUR fault your car got totaled, and you should be paying for the repairs on their car.

What really still gets under my skin is the victim shaming that is common when a person cuts off narc family members and flying monkeys. Just yesterday, I was attacked and condemned for cutting off a flying monkey who was a family member. This happened on narcissist recovery support forum. This did not surprise me. I've seen it many times. It did anger me however, as it always does. If people, who have zero knowledge of a situation, cannot say something supportive or neutral, then they should just keep their pie holes shut.

I found out about Dr Ramani and Dr Carter from my online therapist who was the first person to tell me what was wrong with my ex-husband and my son.. they are both textbook Narcissists and I had NO IDEA what I was dealing with! Even when I shared videos from both of you with my daughter, she was like “omg! How did we not know!” (Of course I went to a therapist because my narcissistic son was blaming me for everything wrong in his life and his marriage and now his wife was hating on me because he poisoned her and I had to seek therapy ) Thank you both for helping us deal with these two people in our lives and to not only heal ourselves, but not feel guilty about it- as the narcissist will inevitably do! My ex- has recently passed away (with no one except his 7th ex-wife by his side). My daughter has no contact with my son, her brother, and I have low-contact due to him having a grandbaby now. But we would not have been able to do this without both of you. Thank you thank you thank you for your excellent service to all of us dealing with narcissistic people in our lives. May God bless you both.❤❤

OMG! CHECK! CHECK! AND CHECK! Thank you for putting into language what I've experienced. When I was married, my ex and I moved away from all my friends. During the couple years that we lived in the small town, he took advantage of my isolation, often berating me and making me feel like I was flawed. I gathered the courage to divorce him after we joined a group and the members took me aside and pointed out what a narcissistic jerk he was being to me, As you say, I needed validators to help me realize that I had been stuck in a 10-year marriage from hell.

We don’t see a narcissist coming because they apparently appear to love your morals and values and honesty and loyalty and you believe that one of the people you meet could actually be the same as yourself,, Ive learned that no matter what you try and how many sorrys you receive the crocodile tears,, you are waiting your time so it’s a learning curve of how to recognise and walk away as early as you can because no one should be ever unkind and disrespectful to anyone ❤

BTW you do very well for a non native speaker, better than many native speakers!
