It’s impossible to explain Narcissist Abuse.

Very few will understand it unless they experience it.

How do you explain the embarrassment to anyone?

How do you explain why you stay for the abuse, lies, and cheating?

Trying to get support from friends and family that haven’t experienced it can be more damaging. They won’t be able to understand the trauma bond and cognitive dissonance you are going through. And it will make you feel more lost and hurt.

The only support you will genuinely get is from those that have been through it. Or a damn good therapist, which is hard to find for Cluster B Abuse.

I drove my sister and a good friend to the edge of not talking to me or taking any calls from me. I also ran many friends off from Las Vegas, that were my rock in times of despair.

This shit drove me insane. I kept chasing my ex down, believing her, thinking I could help her. Believing she was in an abusive marriage with her ex.

Hell, it’s hard enough explaining to ourselves, let alone explain it to others.

When I was at my lowest, I found Quora. I began writing about the abuse and found validation for what I went through. Other writers and readers started messaging me, and I felt a connection of hope.
