The one aspect most will never realize, or be able to accept. There is nothing traumatic about a narcissistic relationship for god sake. The most traumatic part is figuring out why you stayed after you knew what you were dealing with.

Everyone wants to blame the abuser or Narcissists all while they forget they had their hand in the cookie jar too.

These poor little “victims” love to wallow in their own misery of what this person did to them. Let’s be honest, it’s why my writings on Quora are most viewed on this exact topic. I was one of you.

And still am in a sense.

Actually, I won’t bullshit you, I am. I’m out of the victim stage, but now I am in the self discovery stage of “why?” And I can tell you the abuse my ex dished out was a walk in the park compared to what I am dealing with now.

It’s not easy by any means. It’s brutal.

What’s traumatic is you don’t see the disaster you were before you met this person. I know, I know. You had a great life and this person came along and fucked it all up, but did they?
