Harder than you think while everyone around you thinks your fucking crazy. — It’s very tough, because by the time they realize what is going on they are pretty fucked up. They have put up with months, maybe years of abuse. They aren’t sure what they’re dealing with, or better yet, the whole damn problem might be them, and not the abuser. They’re…

You want an honest answer? Of course you don’t, but here it is anyway. — Because you let the asshole back. It’s that simple. What if you didn’t answer their text, email or phone call? What if you didn’t think you were a worthless piece of shit who deserves their abuse because you “love” them? What if you quit letting them convince you trauma bond…

I believe it’s one of the most misunderstood personality disorders in the Cluster B group. — It’s embarrassing. You question everything, and when you aren’t questioning everything you are fucking up. You over share to try and make sense of what is going on in your mind. You hope others agree, and give you guidance because you don’t trust your own. With the oversharing comes guilt, regret and more self doubt. You will look completely crazy from the untrained eye.

Many think they know what they’d do if it happened to you, but you don’t. — Studies show you will go through the five stages of grief if you are unfortunate enough to experience betrayal in a relationship. You may think you’ll be able to handle it “if” it happens. You may “think” you will say fuck that mother fucker, I’m gone! I deserve better. Shirley…

The signs can be subtle, but more obvious when you finally break it. — You are still doing nice things for them. You are doing your best to help the person who delivered the most horrific manipulation. You’re still hanging onto hope. You believe there might be a chance with someone who lied, cheated and manipulated you for years. You think they might change…

Your first mistake was believing them when they told you you were. — Do you really think they care or think anyone was “that” good? No, they don’t. I mean, don’t get me wrong. In the moment, they might. That’s until you spit a little truth at them. Then, all those warm and fuzzy feelings you gave them disappeared! You know? They said…

We all have an idea of what we want, but do you have it? — I want one most people don’t have but think they do. I’m over the superficial bullshit of relationships. It will keep you stuck in a miserable comfort you aren’t aware you are in. In my last relationship, I based everything around vacations, laughing, dinners, sex, etc. While those are all…

It’s gonna be tough, but this will help. — That’s the problem, you can’t. I mean, you can try, but it won’t do it justice. “Everyone” says they have dated narcissists nowadays. But really? This isn’t a relationship you end quickly. Someone has to experience it to understand it, and even after experiencing it, you can’t explain it. Because the level of insanity you try to explain isn’t understandable to the untraumatized mind.

You just caught them lying again, well, you “think” you did. But wait! They are actually telling the truth this time. I mean, what the fuck?! Is it possible they are changing? Is it possible they really do love you and there might be a chance to salvage this relationship? Not so fast …
