Does The Narcissists Finally Go Away? If so, What Happens?
They do. Now the “real” healing begins. Are you ready for that?
They do. But the damage they’ve done will linger for sometimes years. Let me rephrase that, the damage they uncover in “you” lingers. They just open the wounds and leave you to bleed. You no longer matter to them, not that you ever did. Your first problem was believing the words and ignoring their actions.
Their actions will tell everything.
Trauma bond is so much better than dealing with the aftermath of what they bring to surface. It’s not for the faint of heart. I can see why people stay for years upon years. If the narcissists breaks you down just right you will be much worst off after the trauma bond breaks.
I know it’s difficult to understand while still being trauma bonded, but it gets worse. The withdrawal you once had will be met with more emptiness and confusion. You might begin to see different toxic patterns in all your relationships that forces you to take a deep, dark, difficult look at yourself.
I’m not saying you are at fault, but you will get a quick, and painful “101” in why this person was a part of your life to begin with.
