    To the narcissist it’s called Abandonment, to the victim it’s called LEAVING…You abandon a child, a dog because you are responsible for them. You are not responsible for an adult who is abusing you

      Mine has been walking out on me &my son for the last 4 years ... I keep taking him back I get a silent treatment every time first one was 2 weeks ... then 4 weeks the longest one was 6 months this time it’s been 3 months I can’t take it anymore he is messaging me today telling me he loves me .....I sent him a recording of himself having his last rage at me which was horrid .... I said I can’t imagine my life without you but I can’t imagine being spoken to like that for the rest of my life either....he has other women he goes out with tells me how much fun they are while I’m at home feeling like Im Going to die of grief I suppose ..... he is pilled up at a rave with a woman half his age .... so I told him To call her & leave me alone ..... I’m so upset 😭

      Maybe it is for them. I have an older sibling who caused so many problems that I went no contact...though I did not realize that was the name for it. Years ago I witnessed her( an adult mind you) balling her fists screaming(meanness absolutely with a red face) screaming in our mother's face AND ACTUALLY STAMPING HER FEET(!) Like a little kid throwing a fit. These fits and love bombing over the years finally I could not stand such abuse or stand witnessing it...I walked. It took my grandkids as flying monkeys. And others. I am just glad it is done.though I got a hoover via someone else...So about your question....rage?/ tantrum?/both?.
      A fist might make a difference too...however as I told this "sibling" She was an abuser. And I know abuse when I see it....she said "I never got anybody!"
      Bruises hurt.Yes. But the sick pain a narc who is not physically abusive hurt and damage maybe more.

      @@drivynsonnet7040 I think mine did, and I say this because she tried to gaslight me the very next day on why I left her. In a nutshell she tried to say her action in a given situation was "professional" when it was purely "personal". When I confronted her on it I saw more of the puzzle (I didn't know about NPD at the time, about ten days later I would stumble across it when trying to figure out what happened); the word salad, the gaslighting, the blank stare, trying to act like I was losing the best thing ever... when in reality I basically just dodged a bullet and got my life back. I had told her what she was doing and she acted like it was nothing, and even tried to turn it back on me.
      The bottom line: they really hate when people "discard" them, imo because its a wound to the ego, their sense of self-importance and "specialness". They may fear abandonment, but only so far as it impacts them financially or leaves them in an unstable situation. (I'd go on but gotta run. ;}

    The amazing part when you decide to leave... Is how you suddenly start to SEE clearer. You even see that what you thought was normal was actually toxic all along. The anxiety and stress starts to lessen.

      Right. When I used to point out my ex's mistakes then he used to say that it's normal in every relationship & that he abuses me bcz he loves me alot & misses me. Now when I left him & started talking to my frnds again & discussed these things with them then their reply was also the same. They also said that such kinda behaviour isn't normal. Now I realise that what I used to think was right. He was manipulating me into believing that abuses are ok

I'm SO GRATEFUL for Dr Ramani mentioning self-compassion, self-awareness, self-reflection. My narc family is not available for this "work". I can't "do" superficial. Realizing that my life has been one long gaslight / neglect by my mother was a bit painful, but empowering. Having the words to describe this abuse definitely helps with the understanding and acceptance. SO MUCH GRATITUDE TO YOU, Dr Ramani and those hear who share stories. Sorrow shared is lifted. Joy shared is multiplied. Blessings to ALL.

      Its interesting because they feel the same way. They feel we (the empath or the victim) is the trash and tell everyone “it” took itself out! Never accepting they pushed “them” out. They also push others to suicide attempts yet tell everyone in their circle, the victim is the narcissist and they didnt follow thru. Its really so twisted. The first thing he said to me after my attempt was, I cant be with you being so unstable and in that state! He never apologizes or hoovers! Ever, so others believe the story that the pattern of the victim trying to talk when things cool down or trying to fix things makes the victim, indeed, into the narcissist!

    Sexlessness. Sharing a bed with someone who doesn’t acknowledge you are a sexual being hurts so much. I was in a sexless marriage for years. Being a woman with a high libido, I felt inadequate. Worst I feel invisible. The man who was “supposed” to want me, just didn’t. We talked about it many times, more than I can recall now. It was always me. I wanted too much - once a week was too much for him. I didn’t initiate - he was always complaining of headaches, stomaches, always stressed, always tired. I was too sexual - when being subtle doesn’t work, what is next? Explicitly saying I wanted sex. Oh but then it was not appropriate. Conversations would end up with him saying he didn’t feel desired or I made him feel emasculated because he didn’t want sex as much as I did. Yeah, it was always me. I could never win. While we were dating we would have a decent amount of sex, it was good. The first huge red flag was not having sex in our honeymoon - which I ignored. It rapidly decrease to once a week, then every other week. Years gone by it was months in between, by the time we divorced it was over a year with no sex. I cried myself to sleep more times that I can count. I didn’t understand what was wrong with me. Was I that undesirable? Was I repulsive? After those conversations, I just stopped trying, initiating, mentioning sex. We were still loving - holding hands, hugging, kissing - but sex was off the table. He then cheated on me. Swore he had sex only 4 times in a year (or more) long affair. It didn’t matter. For years my self worth was damaged by him, years of low self esteem, years of feeling less of a woman, the marriage that was more than over, waiting in hospice, really ended. Funny how things are, I asked him for a divorce, he manipulated me into staying, next day his infidelity came to light. I was out as soon as I could. Best thing of my life. Additionally, That feeling when your partner cheated and you don't have the courage to leave him / her so you just death with the pain and live everyday asking questions about your worth. This pain is different from the cheating one_living and seeing him everywhere anticipating when he or she do it again. The best thing is to hire a private investigator Digitalinvestigate@gmail. com to help you spy on their cellphone remotely just like he did for me...

      But he has free will and so do you, it is the image of God. It isn't true that he has no one, that is a guilt trip he uses to keep you trauma bonded. It is one thing to help someone who accepts your help and is grateful for it. It is another to try to help a person who is actively abusing you. It is either him or you, that is how your son thinks. He is trying to drag you down with him. This is evil and when something is evil, you HAVE to walk away. He has God as God is waiting to be there for everyone. No one is alone as God waits for everyone. As long as you are his crutch and punch bag, you are preventing him from hitting rock bottom and it is literally his only chance to change. I know what I am talking about, I had to hit rock bottom before I could change too. I had self destructive and addictive behaviours too (though I wasn't being abusive). I hit rock bottom and though I felt alone, I knew God was there and I cried out to Him. That was 6 years ago and now I am born again and have a completely different life. Some of my addictions went overnight. Jesus Christ saves.

    You’re not allowed to leave a narcissist. They call the shots. They spent a lot of time hoovering you into submission. They learned how to emulate your strong qualities because they’re incapable of having strong qualities on their own. So, yes, they get mad when you leave. But not because they’ll miss you or they’re hurt. It’s because now they have to put that work into someone else all over again.

She called both times after a week telling me my son was missing me ( my weakness) both times. The third time she said it again years later this time I was done being her yo-yo and it was the best decision ever. I had to get the strength to overcome my weakness. I knew there was a high chance of my son not wanting to see me again. Sadly that was the outcome and I pray he reflects when he is older. I love him dearly.

      I learned about 1.5 years prior to my wife leaving me. I studied hard and desperately searching for when the true narcissistic behavior started in her. She was the one that gave me the awnser!
      She had said, "You haven't been the same since mom died "(her mom,5 years prior.)
      Now I see ,I haven't been the same in her eyes since then. I believe her mother,talking on a daily basis, was my wife's narcissistic regulation therapy. Helping to guide her through her overthinking and negativity. The small hurtful things that she would laugh off have always been there. The 20 years together. It was until her mom died that she really started getting out of control and gaslighting me, going silent, doing whatever she wanted. I questioned her about why she would tell people that I was a bad father and husband ,but it was all denied, and she would change the subject, and/or turn it into a screaming match. Only good thing to come out of that was our son recalling her project something she had done onto me.
      His eyes were opened to her evil narcissistic behavior. I don't know how I would have made it these past 2 years without him by my side,understanding what truly is going on.
      She worked for years on her smear campaign. Has everyone believing I am the one to blame.😢
      Well, I'm better off without friends who don't look into false accusations!
      Better off without a narcissist too.
      Took 5 days to realize how much stress and anxiety she had put on me, and then I knew... No More! I don't want her back, even if she goes to therapy. I love her ,and wish her the best.

      Took me 30 yrs, 1 month and 10days of being miserably, emotionally, and verbally abused to find freedom and peace again! I did it for my daughter and parents and received peace and relief for myself as an added benefit. I feel sorry for him and would help him if he was capable of truly listening/hearing my heart and prayers for both of our families

    I left the narcissist at the end of August, Reported him to the police, everything is still ongoing,he's since been arrested, and it's hard, the split between loving and hating him is confusing, but generally I can understand the "love" I feel, is only the love I gave him, mirrored back at me, and I direct the love to myself. Exhaustion and PTSD have been the worst part, but if I can be with him for 2 and a half years, I can handle this

I told her I'm done, and she literally drove 5 hours to go play victim and have a pity party with her sisters. I have to tell myself not to care of they believe her because it makes me feel like I have to defend myself, and she's wanting that to make me look worse in her story.

      Angela Dawn you speak my truth! I was cut off by my Nac mother who’s hateful ways would never change! Tremendous feelings of abandonment are never fun. Always knowing, if she came back into my life, she pick up right where she left off. Always remember that, she will not change her ways. It’s a choice to be happy, I choose happy for myself. With bouts of all of it is the past. Remember, you can be in the movie that’s a nightmare, or you can watch it. Keep your power you’re doing great you’re making steps to get where you need to be. It’s heart wrenching! In the end she sent a message to me through a lawyer nothing was left in my family’s estate. Well not to me, LOL and It all, went to my niece. Jokes on her. I could make it on my own and always have. I still choose to keep my peace of mind. Oh by the way, being raised by a narc, left me with a whole bunch of friends, yes you guessed it most of them narcs. I know longer keep in touch with three of them. My relationships with them were longer than they were with my mother. Stepping stones Along the path of life.

I was afraid to eat anything in the house!!! On top of being a narc, he was clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia and felt that he was a sociopath (his words). Leaving him felt like I was escaping a war zone. I hid out for months at various family members home, had to change phone numbers, can’t access social media since he has made several accounts to harass me, blocked him through email even! It’s been exhausting and he refuses to sign the papers. I’m waiting on a miracle

I’d scream and yell like an idiot out of frustration when he kept changing the goal posts, his lies, cheating but trying to drag my name through the mud. The behaviour that was especially damaging to me was his projection and the gaslighting. It got to the stage where I was secretly keeping lists of the gaslighting incidents and of course they were plenty. After watching so many of your discussions here, I realised that I wasn’t confused or going insane. He was playing mind phuck with my head!

    He took it as abandonment for sure, not just him, but my kids. He treats me to this day like I don’t deserve my children. He still controls me because he lords my kids against me. He controls all the time I get with them because he has them the whole school year in another state, so when I finally get them, he treats me like I have no clue how to raise my own children. He’s summoning me to court just for wanting to spend a full day with my kids because I asked their teachers for one day off school. Hadn’t seen them in 6 months. He’ll never change, apart from an act of the all mighty.
