I’m not sure what kind of relationship I was in, but all points to narcissism. I’ve had three therapist tell me it sounds like Narcissists abuse. I’ve researched the better part of four years, and all my research points to Narcissism.

That’s the problem with this type of abuse. Even after you are out of it for over a year, like myself, you will still question what it was. It’s not that you no longer believe it, you know it was abuse, but you will have a hard time accepting it “could” be what you experienced.

What’s the hardest part?

  • Acceptance: Yea, it’s sucks accepting it as all fake. It’s hard to process so much of the relationship wasn’t real, hell, nothing was real looking back. We are nothing more than a “stand-in” while they look for greener pastures that do not exist.
  • Self Blame: Stay long enough, and you will be mind fucked just the right way, you will, and I mean, “YOU WILL” doubt yourself. You will actually want to take on the blame for your reactions to all the lies and abuse.
