Even when I had proof of her lying and cheating, I was ready to forgive her..we broke up about 8 times in 3 years and like clockwork she would always hoover...even when I went on with my life and had a new relationship, here she would come sabotaging it and luring me back in with the love bombing....This last time just a few months ago we discarded each other because she knew I discovered her true self and I could not be manipulated any more. I moved over 400 miles away, blocked her from everything, true no contact! It has been hard but Im healing. My life is better than ever and I'm really loving myself!

      ​@angelfisher8843 not degrading or belittling u. Emotional and mental fitness is super important, but want to kind of enlighten u a little since the words narcissist & racist are used in instances that don't apply. A narcissist is a human that has a brain that can only focus on their way of thinking. They go thru the day thinking their thghts is how everyone thinks. Say for instance, put a task in root of a narcissist and the narcissist I know will think of a way to complete the task and only have an understanding of the way to complete the task is the way they've envisioned and they think it's the 100% correct way to do the task even if it's the hardest way possible. A narcissist only thinks their life and their view is the only one on the planet. Not so much self centered , yes & no . The one I know doesn't think everyone wants them, doesn't think the world is theirs , they just have the brain capacity to entertain their own thoughts & that's as far as their mind allows them to think. Some are different and different methods , but this is the gist.🧡

Obviously in her mind she is a hero and a victim and comes across as someone who is now living her best life. She keeps on writing to us, constantly telling us she wants nothing to do with us but it never seems to be the end. I for one, don't want to see her ever again.

    It is with a heavy heart that I share my recent experience with my narcissistic mother. The revelation that she had wished me dead as a baby is a truth that has left me reeling with disbelief. The level of cruelty and lack of empathy exhibited by her is deeply disturbing and has led me to the conclusion that no contact is essential for my own well-being.
    Despite the initial shock and pain, I have found a sense of liberation in hearing her confession. It has lifted the guilt and burden that I had been carrying for so long, and I am now able to fully recognize the toxic nature of our relationship.
    It is a sad realization that I had natural haters from the moment of my birth, but it is also a testament to the strength of my own light and resilience. I refuse to allow someone with such low empathy and compassion to have any power over me. The decision to cut ties with her is one that I have made with a heavy heart, but one that is necessary for my own mental and emotional health.
    Added to this, a couple months ago, I attended a Doctors visit wirh her. After years of her claiming to have serious heart problems and strokes, I finally took it upon myself to speak with her doctor during a normal physical. To my surprise, he informed me that my mother was in good health, and that she has not had a stroke in over 20 years. It was concerning to learn that my mother had been fabricating these health issues, and I hope that she will seek some help in the future. 🙏

      Unfortunately, it has been three years since my father passed away, along with my brother. Despite having moved away a long time ago, I was thrust back into the mix upon their passing, which reignited my mother's passion for hate. On my father's 74th birthday, my mother decided to reveal her desire for me to die. It was then that I discovered she had been hiding $300,000 of my father's money, a portion of which is rightfully mine. She has taken all of his belongings and told me I deserve nothing.
      As her son, I am trying to take care of her, but I need her to be honest with me. Instead of admitting her lies and apologizing, she expressed her desire for me to die, which was devastating to hear. It is truly unfortunate that my mother is consumed by sadness, misery, and hate, leaving her alone.
      This experience has been incredibly painful, and it is disheartening to witness such behavior from someone who is supposed to be a parent. While I have toned down my language, it is important for others to understand the gravity of this situation and the emotional toll it has taken on me.

    Deafening silence… is all that she “the ghost of a shell in the shadow” will ever hear from me.
    Your time, money, and energy invested and sacrificed will never appreciate nor will you ever witness by word or action their “appreciation” in who you are genuinely and authentically, your character, traits, and morals as a healthy neuro-typical man with self and soul, of the many gifts of talent, street, courage, and resilience to overcome any obstacles placed upon your path during your life journey.
    The Cluster B - Covert / Malignant NPD is a parasite riddled with cancerous personality and mental disease that is empty of self and soul, possesses envy, fear, shame, guilt, anger, rage, resentment for you that they even hate themselves more behind the mask of manipulation and projection.
    The Narcissist takes everything and gives you nothing.
    The Empath takes nothing and gives you everything.
    In the end…The Empath who does the work, healed, and rebuilt in silence, alone, decides to completely detach and realizes that where there is nothing, there is everything!
    The Narcissist and The Empath is a battle of soul; armor up!
    Stay alert!
    Stay alive!

      I know this was a month ago and I hope you stuck to that but if you are like me (a good narc mark) then you probably let her back in. I did several times and it doesn't get better. And as much as you want to help her you are not actually helping. They know what they are and they know how they continue to hurt us and they do it anyway. I don't know if it's a desire to manipulate through subtle and not so subtle control or if it's a defense mechanism built on trauma but it's direct harm to us and they know it. I know I was just a mark and I know I meant something to her but only because I was a good mark. It's very hard to walk away because it a powerful illusion of connection. Every time we show them how much we love to be there for them they look down on us for being weak.

    It has been many years since I cut off my narcissist wife. October 2014. I have found that it is a continual process of healing if you have been with a narcissist for a long period of time. There are seasons of healing in different areas that I have gone through in my journey. At times, things trigger me much like PTSD. I find myself having to stop and process why I just felt or did what I did. At the time that I took control of my life I didn't even know the word narcissistic or what it was, I learned that from a friend who supported me for the first couple years of getting away from her. She was quite the master. I like what you said toward the end of this video about them defaming you to your mutual friends/aquitances, not worrying about defending yourself and just accepting it. It got to a point that when I cut her off and took my life back, I told her "I don't care what she says to anyone, as a matter of fact I told her she can blame me", I didn't care.
    We had a young child involved that we had power of attorney of since birth, we had planned to adopt, neither of us had legal custody of her. However, from birth, she was given my last name. She was in all sense of the matter, my daughter. She was three years old at the time I decided to take my life back. From the beginning, the whole situation with my daughter was a power play by my narcissistic ex-wife to always maintain control. When I walked away, she had possession of my daughter, and I had no legal rights. My ex-wife tried many times to regain the power and control over me that she lost. My attorney told me to stay away from my ex-wife, but I wanted to keep seeing my daughter. This came back to bite me because when all else failed, she took my daughter from me by filing a no contact order so that I could no longer see my daughter. What she had put in the filing were things from the past that she said I did when, in fact, they were things that she did to me, like I said, a master. I was devastated and hoped one day I would see my daughter again. Unfortunately, I have never seen my daughter again. She did this to gain the "ONLY" control she had left over me. She knew it would devastate me, and it did.
    It took three years for me to begin to breathe again. At the time, I decided to leave the area because I knew if I didn't, my ex-wife would go to any measure to get at me or cause irreparable damage to my life. She wasn't going to be the loser or look like the party at fault. I didn't care if I looked at fault, but I wanted to protect myself legally. I moved about an hour away and let very few people know where I went. I got a PO Box and did not use my new physical address on anything for three years and until after our divorce was final. I essentially vanished from friends and aquitances because I knew that if she knew where I was, she would try to destroy me. I had many people ask where I went through social media, but I explained to them that I couldn't tell them because of the situation. I basically started my entire life all over. I even changed jobs. Years later, my ex-wife burned every bridge that she had with our friends/aquitances just like a narc does. Every single one of them have now told me they knew/know that my ex was a narcissist or that something was wrong with her. She has now moved to another state with her new husband. Poor guy.
    It has taken time, I never defended myself or tried to explain it to anyone because I knew time always tells the true story. Things have a way of revealing themselves. She also has a son who was older at the time that we were together. He is a grown man now. About a year and a half ago, he hunted me down, and we reconnected. Unfortunately, he has also cut his mom off and does not speak to her because of the mental abuse he endured from her his whole life. When her and I split up, a lot of the mental abuse was transferred to him. Him and I have talked about the mental abuse that we have both endured by her. He went as far as to make sure I knew that it wasn't my fault and that I couldn't help his mom. He knows how much I thought I loved her, LOL. Of course, I have never talked ill of his mom to him, encouraged or discouraged his decision of not having a relationship with her, nor would I ever do that. I have let him know that is solely his decision. I am glad to have him in my life and to have been able to let him know how much I love him. It has brought me another measure of healing in my journey. We, of course, have made an agreement that his mother can never know where I live.
    Anyway, I just wanted to share a blip of my story and say it hasn't been easy, but it was and is worth it. It is a continual process and journey, I have prayed a lot, and I have God on my side. I now have a wonderful life with a beautiful and sweet girlfriend who will soon be my wife. God has a purpose in everything we go through. With Him, we can endure all things. If you're going through this, have Faith in Him to see you through it, and He will. God Bless 🙏

Until then, I've gone no contact and saving all I can for my kids to give to them when they eventually reconnect. I hope to God its the best decision. Thank you again

    Ended it with a narc after day of hell. I've known him since 2009 in another city. We had great times but never lasted long, he would get upset over the most innocent thing but would take as criticism -took me away weekends etc and it could be ruined over the simplest things when he took it as criticism. There was always excuses for his behaviour and at first I gave him benefit of the doubt (his father had passed away, he was going through a divorce) but the cycle repeated over the many times we got together again -the fun we had when we did was intense and amazing, he is super funny and would make me laugh so much my stomach hurt. I always loved him, long storey short, I left the province in 2015 unbeknownst to him and one day fall of 2015 he contacts me again to see how I'm doing to which he learned I had moved. Even though I no longer lived in the same province, he would still try to keep contact. Through this time, I met someone else and finally told him I had met someone and was very happy. He still tried to keep in touch and out of respect for my relationship I started not to respond and also saw his number on my phone many times. I didn't respond for a few years and figured that chapter is closed forever. It didn't work out, me and my boyfriend ended things. Time passed and I learned that my narc had now also left that city, province and had moved in another province 3hrs from me. Needless to say, we started communicating again and I finally took his offer to come get me and catch up and for him to show me his new home, meet some of his friends etc. This is now 2023. I am thinking he must of grown, he said he went to therapy -he went through a lot in the past 3yrs from you know what-and couldn't take it anymore. We had an amazing time, he took me around and told me about every spot in his new town, cooked for us etc. We talked about the past, he talked about how he though he would never see me again and how happy he was that all these years later having met in a whole different place, we found ourselves both living in the same part of the world. He talked about the future, how he wants us to be together and for me to make my own friends there in time etc. Well, it was amazing but short lived - he took something the wrong way and I told him I didn't mean it as such and he would not let it go so we can enjoy the evening and not let a simple miscommunication ruined it. He kept sulking and sitting at one location while I'm sitting alone on the sofa with my glass of wine watching a movie. After 2 movies like this, I decided I am just going to go to bed. I tried and he immaturely is intent on keeping his distance speaking to me from his seat at the island. I asked politely if he minded if I retired for the night and he said no so off I am to bed. Well he snores, I couldn't sleep once he went to bed and now I felt uncomfortable and exhausted and when exhausted I too can snore and under all these circumstances I decided to sleep on the sofa (I did it before so not new). Well, I got woken up very early by his incredibly loud stomping through the living room etc like a child having a tantrum clearly wanting to wake me up to which he ORDERED me out of the room as he had work to do on his laptop -7am and it was a day in hell. Prior to my coming, he had already made a commitment to help a friend clear his land of much fallen trees and debris from post-topical storm Fiona. I was totally fine with that and said I would help out. A bunch of other friends were to be there that I would also meet. Well, to my great disappointment and hurt, it was one of the worst days in my life. I still am heart broken but this cannot be allowed. I love him, I wish it wasn't so. It's hard. After that looooong day in hell, I did not say a word to him on the drive back to his place. When we arrived I said I was going to bed to which he stated he was going to drive me back home the next morning to which I replied "Good enough'. 7am angrily orders me out of bed -no coffee, grab your sh-t-and told me if I said one word he would leave me on the bridge and I would have to find my way home. Few days later, he writes me an email with the title "You're a clown" and telling me I was trying to undermine him with his friends and to never contact him again. Though that was pretty sad considering he in no way had a leg to stand on to be taking that stance and the below was my reply to him. I did get 2 other emails from him the next day, one was sent in am and the other in evening but I didn't read them, I figured I'd save myself from more vitriols (anything less then a real live apology and admitting you have a problem is of no interest to me). I did sent him another email telling him to please stop contacting me and that I would not read his messages. "Excuse me?? You have the gall to say this to me? I've never been treated with such abuse - ordering me like a Nazi and telling me not one word and be quiet like some dog then I made the best of it and still went and worked hard for a while-no work shirt like you said you'd have and it took another man to consider my well being and lend me appropriate clothing, to then not be introduced to the other guys when we first breaked when I know no one else and I am not from there to then have the AUDACITY to tell me I am being anti social after the way you yelled at me and ordered me around angrily, hostile first thing in the am to the point I felt very uncomfortable and not in a safe place with your behavior to then being a good sport and did my part under the circumstances and made the best of it to finally getting some food at 8:30pm for the first time that day.....
    And rather than an apology (how you treated me is unforgivable) you repeated it the very next morning.
    You can't be that stupid, you have to know what you've done which makes you an asshole.
    You have a big problem and you need therapy. Not ok.
    What you're offering, I don't want.
    Find yourself another girl but for her sake get some help.
    Peace."

    Great stuff. Funnily enough I gave the narc in my life the silent treatment before I even realised they are a narc and before I knew anything about grey rock and the silent treatment. And yes, it drove them insane, crying round the kitchen table etc etc etc.

    'Just went through this breadcrumbing/ hoovering in late February after months of being used and manipulated. I had pretty much gone no contact...only briefly responding/ replying when contacted by her... _(no initiating on my part. When I first met her I should've heeded some of her first words to me about how she liked it when people chased her, instead, and also how she actually even kiddingly referred to herself as a narcissist. That should have pretty much told me up front all I needed to hear, but no, silly me. She was crafty and good at her game.)_
    After 2.5 months of me minding my own business, out of nowhere, she calls and left a message about how she was thinking of me that day and just wanted to say "Hi". _(This I believe to have been premeditated by her as she was only laying her bait in order to switch it up to be the one leaving me.)_ Hesitantly I replied back in a distant manner... _(mainly I replied back because I was trying not to piss her off by completely avoiding her....you never know how someone will react nowadays.)_ I returned her call the next day and found her to be instigating, slightly taunting, etc.. After overstepping boundaries with a couple rude questions I politely ended the call. She then tried to keep me on the line, but I did proceed to end the call. _(Right before saying "goodbye" she squeezed in saying a couple times "Hey, stay in touch." )_
    The following evening I sent her a brief, lighthearted instant message and got back a very delayed reply of a couple emojis...very out of character for her. About a week later I had a quick question to ask her and messaged her again only to receive a three word answer. Ironically, I never heard back from her again...even after a week earlier SHE had asked me to stay in touch.
    I'm pissed at myself for, _(in effort to not hurt her feelings when she was the one who had first reached out to me)_ , that I even re-engaged with her at all _(as brief as it was)_ , so as not to hurt her by just ignoring the voicemail she left to reopen communication. These narcs are pure evil.

    ,,,the live chat thing sounds good... :) @ (3:59) if you are following guidance from within, and your soul is stronger than you are, then stopping responding doesn't mean rejection; it means that your soul is stopping you from making contact, even though you might think it was for instance, the kind thing to do, - but also, speaking ordinarily, pausing response can actually just mean that you don't honestly know what to do at this point, and you want to wait until you are sure before you act, because, as you know, the stakes are very high, - it's as if you were playing chess with a professional opponent - there is a right move, and sometimes you have to be completely patient, until you are clear about what the right move is :) - really a beautiful video anoushka

    A narcissist is delusional is every aspect of their lives. I got diagnosed with stage 4 head and neck cancer 6 years ago my wife left me and moved to another state with another man mid treatment and said I ruined her happy ever after. I went through divorce court with her lying thinking dead men can’t talk. I was so sick I don’t care and she got 90 percent. 4 years later to my disbelief, I get a phone call from her saying she was sorry and to forgive her and ask if I would remarry her! Come to find out the man she left me for left her and she needed money and security. True story

    Great assessment. I used to and still believe there's only so many moves a certain human chess piece can make in the game.
    You've thought this through and it's the most logical moves they can make, even with their twisted "logic." Maybe "logic" is
    not the right word. "Juvenile game playing mentality," better describes it.

      GAME OVER! I’m not playing their littles games any longer. People that have taken from me for years and have drained me are the people that are supposed to care about me the most. My own grown three kids are all guilty of this. “Mom do you think that you can help me out or do me a favor”? Pay a bill or buy some groceries for them. Meant that I will not be paying you back by $$$$ or favors. I can’t even get a Happy Mother’s Day. My husband texts all three of them and told them to do so. After babysitting Mondays thru Fridays7AM-6PM driving to their house using my car, not one dime, I mean not even a cheeseburger for lunch. I went all no contact and my kids asks “What’s wrong with Mom” to my husband. We were at a buffet once and I had said to my daughter will you pay for mine, she replied “NOPE”. The last birthday party for my brother and I was when (our birthdays were one year four days apart) I turned 13 August 16, 1977 Yep the day Elvis died leaving all of the adults crying and they all left the party early.

    I had a narc sister who married money, got into blow, quietly smeared me and alienated may parents from me - kid glove treatment - for years. Holidays were her show and I just stopped traveling to attend. Didn't know then that behind my back I'd always been her patsy. For not attending fam events I was further scapegoated. I never betrayed her blow issues with parents. But she had readily used my weed affection repeatedly. Spread that to all the cousins and whole town. All to cover her blow thing.
    I found it much easier to dismiss the whole bunch - and moved many towns away - flying monkeys were not an issue because they could all tell how the money she married had them all mesmerized - eating from her hand all the stories she had.
    50 years later and I do not feel as though I missed a thing.

    First of all they think you are simply being RIDICULOUS ! You are just over-reacting to something ! You are just being childish and melodramatic . Then after a few weeks they make jokes about it to others , shrugging and saying you are being ' silly ' , having a paddy , a weird moment ,..but you'll be in touch ! After another month they will leave a carefree quick message as if nothing is wrong , then when they begin to panic another week later a more sarcastic passive aggressive ramble . Finally , another two to three months later two more final brief calls ,..one completely silent ,..then the last ,..a single ...simple.. quiet... huff ! THE END ! They will be hoping that the guilt of the trauma bond will trigger you , MUST trigger you to respond , as it always has before , and like a scolded puppy you will come cowering back with your tail between your legs ! Such it the utter arrogance and sense of total self importance !! When another two months pass they FINALLY begin to realise you are serious ( they never think that you are truly serious , because they think you are basically a joke ) , and that's when the NASTY switch is flicked on ! It's not long after that that they start BRANDING you are the crazy one , the one who dumped them for NO REASON AT ALL ! They will refer to your ' behaviour ' as being unprompted and totally juvenile . This is a trick , a sly way of saving face whilst at the same time still appearing superior . It is ALL about saving face ! However inside they are FURIOUS ! You have actually dealt them a huge ego blow , because you have exposed their FAKE REALITY , and that shakes them to the core . You are in effect telling them they are NOT POWERFUL , NOT SPECIAL , AND NOT ALL IMPORTANT !!! How VERY VERY dare you ! 😂💪💪❤️
