This brought back so many bad memories. I'm so glad I got the help to leave that relationship.

Sounds like my ex

[@annaburns2865]

This therapist is actually trying to get to the bottom of this. This is a very good therapist. Unfortunately, many of them are not. My therapist made me apologize! For abuse.
To this day I can’t stand when people say, “ you’re not a victim. Take responsibility for yourself.”
When I’m taking as much responsibility as I can, and yes I’m still a victim of abuse. I always will be. Even though I’m healing.
Wouldn’t you say the same about a victim of rape?
Abuse never goes away.
Even if you go no contact to cut off the abuser.
You will forever be changed by their actions.

Tbh now that I'm in the field I see a lot of therapists who will take on clients like this for the money

[@Dhdhd-tt5bx]

True

[@sherriepawlikowski4935]

​@@cosmickinksI also heard a lot of therapist do not want to take these narcissist clients because they're just too difficult to work with...

[@kathleenramirez2379]

That's EXACTLY how my dad treated (and still treats) my mom and all of his kids.

[@khaleesireyna731]

I hope you've gotten far away from him and he can just stew in his little pissboy land.

[@Dhdhd-tt5bx]

This makes me realize reading your comment how right my choice to leave him and take my 7 children was, My ex was even worse and they never change.

[@kathleenramirez2379]

@@Dhdhd-tt5bx *hugs* they really never do change. The only way to win is run and never play their game again.

[@sherriepawlikowski4935]

That's so very true

[@lesliewillmann5035]

This is why I said no to counseling...I knew this is how it would and he wouldn't actually go or participate.

[@whoisimani44]

Me too. I'm in counseling for me. Not with the narcissist!!!

[@Dhdhd-tt5bx]

Correct

[@debbiec6205]

I tried to get away from my ex-husband during a verbal assault and he chased me downstairs. Then he chased me around the dining table...abuse and intimidation.

[@EEF5004]

This was my mom

[@sharonoverton9897]

This brings back sooo many bad memories ..ugh 😢

[@tawnymillard6249]

Yep!

[@CANDIKONETT]

Yup.

[@khaleesireyna731]

I've heard the line "they don't get to leave when I'M still angry" before, but damn, I just realized... it sounds so childish. Like a kid just screaming and yelling "no" because they've been told to go take a bath.
At their core, their petty, maladjusted children and they make that everyone else's problem.
