I have almost all of these. Have to get out. 😢
It really freaking hurts when it's your own child.
This describes my whole life of mental and emotional abuse from the people who are supposed to care, love and nurture me My Parents. I have lived on antidepressants and a string of counsellors been hospitalised because of their abusive behaviour which lasted until the day each of them died. The day each of them died was more relief than grief. It set me free to work through the unhealthy effects of their ignorance and Nieves lack of parenting skills. It’s worth the pain and suffering to be healed.
10/10 divorced 30 + years ! Still reeling 🤯
Dangerous to leave them.
52 years of this. All so true. Wish I had left.
I suffer many health problems living this way and I never had these problems when I was single. Wished i could get out safely and live a healthier lifestyle. This narc is going to kill me if i don't/can't get away from him 😢.
This is my life with the narc ive lived with for 3 years. I can't take it anymore.
I got 7 or 8 out of 10 yay!! Oh hang on a high score is a bad thing isn't it! ! My partner of seven years was fantastic for the first year and then the wheels started to fall off and I realized that patterns were occurring but I didn't know what a narcissist was but I found out what emotional abuse and blame projection are. She was the prettiest 56 year old you'll ever see and everyone loves her to bits but only the people that have been in a relationship with her and both their children know what goes on behind closed doors. It's a little bit like Street angel house devil. she was never abusive or violent but she would stone wall everything she didn't approve of and it was very unpleasant. In the end she had removed so much of the relationship that there was nothing left so it was easy for me to leave the problem is I gave her my heart and soul and thought we were together forever and I' invested heavily both physically emotionally and finance actually but in the end I had to leave to save my sanity. It's been two years now and I am still very broken and I have no interest in other women I just want to find my true self and tranquility but I doubt I'll ever be bothered with a relationship again it was that bad. I enjoyed your video thank you for sharing.
What happens when you can't leave because kids are involved and they would blame me for leaving
My problem was I never saw things my ex said and done as e.abuse. I always made excuses up 4 him much to my discust now,my kids are still suffering from the way he treat them and still does,I'm glad they stand up to him now.
Just separated after 36 years of marriage. For years I could never quite put my finger on why it didnt feel right/happy so I just lived with it, feeling I needed to help him or love him more or forgive him again. But you've put your finger on it in this video. Thank you so much. I was nodding all through it, grateful that it's real and not just my mind playing tricks. Except for the last point you made, all the rest resonated with me. I refused to be crushed by him. All the push me/pull me mind games that went on, the Jekyll and Hyde switches that completely floored me, the cheerful one minute then sudden vicious comment/name calling or stonewalling the next – I just couldnt understand where I was with him. Why does he do that? was my constant question. Now I am alone, the peace I feel as I come home and unlock the front door knowing he is not there is something else! It's blissful and makes my heart give a little leap. It's going to be worth it as ironically I dont feel lonely anymore. Nothing is more lonely than feeling isolated, unloved and unhappily married. Already I can truthfully be a happier me around friends and family instead of feeling wary, making excuses for his unreasonable impolite behaviour or glossing over his snide remarks to keep up the sham of a marriage. I got so tired of it all. I wish everyone who is experiencing similar bewildered feelings of emotional abuse can take steps to get out of such toxic relationships. Find the help from outside sources to do it – there is so much help out there. All the best x
Prime example of an emotionally abusive relationship is the marriage of Harry and Megan.
My own adult son who I live with treats me like this EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I'm invisible, isolated; ignored, financially controlled- even my basic needs aren't being met, my medical needs aren't being met. He doesn't care about my needs, wants. After working for 30 yrs, 20+ raising my 2 children as single parent I was left disabled & unable to work bc of failed back surgery. I'm in excruciating physical pain 24/7. So much so that doing basic things is unbearable! I cannot even get to a doctor for pain mgmt. The stress I'm in with my son LITERALLY makes me vomit daily (serious) gastric problems but haven't been able to see doctor for this either. Sane goes for serious sleep deprivation. He won't let me use his car nor will he take any time off work to get me there. I don't have my 100k job anymore. Nowadays I have to scrape tg spare chg just to buy something I need bc my son refuses to purchase anything I need or give me $. He'll keep things from me. I'm always in the house staring at the walls & maybe every 2 months if he's feeling generous I might be able to actually go in the car somewhere. I can't even have a conversation with him, all he does is dirty looks or condescending tone like "WHAT!!!" OR "NO!!!"
