When itbecomes physical abuse you need to figure out a way to leave safely.
Narcissist can’t change and that is such harmful and disgusting information to put out!
Often the problem is not so much that narcissist can't change. It's their inclination to want to change, that seems to be the problem.
I LEFT HIM ALONE …TALKING ONLY BUSINESS …GO OUT WITH ANOTHER PERSON THAT ENJOYS YOUR COMPANY ……
Well, this might be hopeful, but if you are in a marriage that is extremely abusive or a partner into extra marital affairs and into high level porn addictions, you should run! The abuse will go on. He will not leave out any opportunity to accuse you and to hold you accountable for all of his sins. And he will tell everyone including you that poor poor him, he will play the the narc theater… and this is extremely traumatic and you should detach with the help of a good councilor. To speak of hope in a situation like that seems wrong to me, especially when you have hoped for decades but the narc partner is only getting more cruel and abusive as time progresses. We will all one day have to stand before our Lord and Saviour. And yes, each one of us can change and truely repent. But when it comes to NPD, I have my doubts that you will find more than one in many who wants to change.
One of the main attributes to a narcissist is being severely disagreeable. That doesn't bode well with substantial change. A narcissist would use therapy to learn to manipulate better.
My narcissistic husband really scared me this time ! and I don’t know if I can trust this time if he really is telling the truth and what to do ?
There's a lot of narcissists in the world some of us are going to end up in a relationship with one so you have to decide if what you're getting out of the relationship is worth putting up with a r3tarded 5 year old bully in an adult body.
I believe this video is going to help a lot of people heal, and at least provide them with a glimmer of hope. There are too many comments on the Internet, where people leave and then they are homeless, financially destitute, and it just didn’t make sense for them to walk away without a plan. While living with a narcissist is difficult, living in a homeless shelter without money is equally if not more difficult as well. Studying the narcissist and ways to cope and have radical acceptance are important because education is key. Thank you for creating a video that at least helps those who choose to stay and process their emotions have a little more peace as they deal with this difficult situation.💖
I am done. I have been married for 18 years, figured out he is a covert narcissist and it was at year 16 that I had a breakdown. I got help bc I didn’t know what else to do, he refused marital counseling and blamed me for everything including the church. They took his side and I left the church, it made everything worse. I decided to work on myself, and make a plan to get out. I am still married, I don’t talk to him and don’t engage much to keep peace. I have been trying to save money for my exit and waiting for the perfect time to leave. I plan to go to the county agency for domestic violence and request legal assistance bc the minute I file paperwork, he will dominate me and the situation and try to leave me with nothing. I stay at home with a child that has special medical needs so my situation is unique. I went back to school to give myself hope of a future career, I am currently in a graduate program for psychology. I plan to help others with my story. I’m just tired of being silenced, minimized and stone walled. It’s exhausting being in a loveless and soul-sucking relationship like this. No one believes me and he looks like Mr. Wonderful. I want out. I wish I had someone on my side that could stop him from being a bully and trying to control me and the kids.
No amount of love, support, encouragement, intervention, or counseling will change a person who isn't committed to change themselves. And that commitment to change must be shown through steady consistent improvements over time. Just because they agree to go to therapy doesn't mean that they will improve. Speaking from 13 years of marital experience with a narcissist.
Men who DO NOT CARE do not change. Biblical counselors and I have given him a hundred chances and opportunities to be accountable and he remains oblivious, highly defensive, accusatory, cruel, dismissive etc. There is no hope but maybe after I divorce him, God can get his attention.
Thank you, Dr Hawkins for being hope in very difficult destructive marriages!
FINALLY a channel that can admit there is always hope.
Thank you thank you so much.
