It seems that once an entanglement with a narcissistic someone has hold of your heart, letting go can be agonizing. But would you rather have the agony now, knowing what you now know, or have it for the next 35 years or more? These are broken people, and while they have their appealing ways and fun aspects, it's like eating an apple with a razor in it. They cover their poison with something appealing, to trap you. They are like insects that lay their eggs on you that will eat you alive. That is their nature. That is what they do. The sooner you can feel the pain beginning, the sooner you can run for your life. There is nothing to be gained by staying, except to feed their insatiable need.

in a longtime marriage with a narc substance abuser, i didn't know how to end it with a child, so instead of doing something brave and helpful, I hunkered down and laid low and waited it out, but I couldn't keep up with the pretense of still being in love. after years of abuse i had no respect left for him and became emotionally detached. once that happened - once i stopped reacting, that's when he realized my well had run dry and he initiated the divorce. i am happy now, at peace. no drama, no fear. i wish i had done it so much sooner. so much wasted time with someone that didn't actually love me, but was using me for my empathy, sympathy, service and joy. I'm trying to build it back now. It's a process.

My mind has been so screwed up for years by my husband until I came across an article about covert narcissists. I truly believed that I was at fault and felt so suicidal because no one understood how I felt. I am no longer the person I was once. I have no confidence in my ability and decisions because I have been gaslighted. Even though I’m in therapy, I still question myself and blame myself. I’ve been told I’m an abuser, needy, likes to cause arguments for no reasons but then I’m the best thing because he gets what he needs from me until I question why I feel I get nothing back from the relationship except the blame and being told I’m crazy. Everything is my fault even down to the violent rages because it’s me who apparently provokes him into doing it. He’s now the victim of my abuse which apparently I started years ago. For me it’s the unfairness of it all and getting others to believe that you aren’t the crazy one. Please beam me up Scotty!!!

Oh how to play this game... it's such a complex type of abuse to go through. I'm sorta in shock, thinking of therapy before I get trapped in our loop again and get so depressed/reactive that I become hopeless and drown myself in errands and sleep.

I have to say that I’m really glad my ex narc decided to jump into the deep end when it came to physical violence. The one and only time he was physically violent with me he choked me and I left. My mother abused my father and I always told myself if a man ever laid a finger on me I’m done. And I was. But he did the love bombing and I came back but I think he knew to never lay a finger on me again. So he stuck with verbal abuse!

My ex was more than terrifying, and what I found out afterwards was even more chilling. He would change personalities depending on who he was with and would take on their traits and likes. He had nothing that he enjoyed on his own besides playing on the computer or his phone. Looking back on it, all the things that confused me makes sense. He was starting to lose his mind because all of the lies he's told were coming up and he tried to isolate me so I wouldn't figure it out.

It is so hard to move on after these relationships because they get deep within your psyche. Unpacking it all, placing truth on one side and lies on the other is an exhausting task. I could not have been any more patient or loving. It was only when I gave push back did the final explosion occur, where I finally decided to walk away. It was time to save myself.

One of the things that makes it hard to stop being confused and to let go of your thoughts of how good the relationship once seemed to be and your hope of it being good again, are people who have not witnessed everything that the narcissist has done to you but feel entitled to express an opinion about the relationship that translates into "It takes two to tango." I have had those in my life in the family as well as outside who say "This is your family. You should get along." They didn't see the way I was silenced and manipulated, neglected and bullied, and put down with disdainful silent treatment and dysregulated temper outbursts. They didn't get the "I love/hate you" contradictory behavior. I walked on eggshells around this Jekyl-and-Hyde who was able to win over outsiders who thought them "wonderful". So, basically, I got lots of blame, not just from the narcs, but from those whose support I needed. That really hurts. Adds insult to injury....And the narc uses statements made to them privately by their support system to put you down as well: "So and so says they think you could be hard to live with!" Any tool at hand that they can get hold of to try to hit you over the head and put you down yet again! These people are part of their feeding supply and they even use THAT against you! You can knock yourself out trying to do things the narc's way, but it destroys you. Outsiders who may have seen you defend yourself sometimes come to the conclusion that you must be part of the problem. But they don't see what happened that caused you to NEED to defend yourself. Someone I know put it best when they told me about their horrible relationship: "I feel like a train just ran through my head!" Please, Dr. C, speak to the way these "well-meaning" people just make your sense of isolation and pain worse!!!!

I agree with California Cat. Gather up all his things and put them in a duffle bag. Put it outside the door and then change the door locks. Tell him he can no longer live under your roof since he is causing serious problems for everyone in the family. At 18, he will have to find his own way since he has demonstrated he rejects yours. Maybe the day would come that he'd turn into a Prodigal Son, but don't hold your breath. Protecting your other kids and your own sanity is the right thing to do. He needs to learn that serious consequences await him throughout life in response to his uncivilized behaviors.

This is amazing! This guys knows exactly how it was for me growing up. My mother was a world-class narcissist and I (my parents' first born) was her target. I was absolutely miserable growing up and even after I got married and moved 500 miles away from her, it continued. Certainly not with the intensity as when I lived with her, but long distance-over the phone mostly, and when my husband and our children visited her and my dad on vacation. It wasn't good. And what do you know after all those years of living with my narc. mother, I married a narcissist! He wasn't as intense be he came close. How on earth was I born to a narc. mother, then marry one? And then try to live with him all those years (43!!) trying to be forgiving, patient, kind, etc; and then, because he saw that I wouldn't be putting up with his control, insults, etc. anymore, he went and found a girlfriend to spend time with (affair and grooming a new person to control), I left him and he had the gall to tell me that HE couldn't live with ME anymore. I'm happier now than I ever have been IN MY LIFE. If I ever find someone else to be in a relationship with, or marry, I will know the red flags. (But with narc., you don't usually see their narc. side until after you've married them.) Heaven help me.

My ex was a co-vert narc, he has two children who are adults and deeply religious. The children both live in a religious institution, he regularly have bible study with them. they don't have any idea of the life he's living outside of what he tells them. he's never been married, he's never introduced me to them in the 3 years we were together. there were many times I was at his home during his 1 hour bible study zooms with his son( before and after we were intimate) but they never knew I was there. One day I reached out to his niece on social media and told her that I was in a relationship with her uncle and that was it. He went crazy and blocked me and grey rocked me. when I tried to go to his home to get my personal belongings he said that I wasn't permitted to come on his property. He's now attempted to get a restraining order on me to make me look like I'm stalking him. it's crazy because his children has no idea who he is. It's so weird how these people are so sneaky and successful at keeping people out of their business. I know it's the final destination for us because I'm done! I can no longer deal with a psychopath. I'm over it. I changed his contact in my phone to say "NO FUTURE' when he calls. Dr. Carter has helped me tremendously understand the pathology of this monster.

I was no longer his mother or grandmother ..I was literally just a pain in the ass who took up time that he didn't want to have to do anything for.. I informed him one day, that as much as I love him, that I don't like him, that he is very mean. And he looked at me and said " you didn't meet any of my expectations".. " you were a terrible mother and you don't even have a good credit score!!"..I told him " It wasn't my job to meet his expectations and it wasn't my job to make him happy, that was his job"...In 3 months he pulled money together and had me out of there ..I am living in a different state with absolutely no contact with him,my daughter-in-law or my granddaughter,... I don't care about not talking to him or my daughter-in-law but, I raise my granddaughter for more than half of her life..I do miss talking to her and I don't know what is going on with them but it's about time that they were parents after 13 years and leaving it to everybody else to do it for them..It seems as if it is a stalemate..Sometimes I get depressed about the situation,but they don't know that...I divorced a narcissist 4 years ago and have 3 years NC..now I am 8 months NC with my son..these people are exhausting..

All of this and more. I left my husband of 13 years a month ago. I planned it with my friends to move all of my possessions out of the house the weekend he was gone on a fishing trip. The Monday before he left he said, "we need to have a little talk." I recorded that talk. That talk was him trying to control one last thing....the end of our marriage. I can't begin to tell you all of the belittling, insulting, things he said in the hour that conversation lasted. At the end of that hour he said, " well maybe you should sleep on it, we don't need to decide right now how to proceed." Little did he know. I had already planned to leave. When he came home from the trip there was not one thing left in the house that belonged to me. I have not received a text or a call from him since...just divorce papers served to me at my place of employment.

Wow, what you have said are so accurate. I have just ended a working relationship with a narcissist boss. She is the type who expects the whole team to sing and dance along with her, creating messes within the job and making the team-mates feel doubtful of each other., and then she would come in as the saviour to resolve the issues she creates. I was transferred to her department for 3 months and refused to give her the attention she craved. She then planned her discarding tactics just as the way you mentioned. First by telling the whole world how incapable I was to the job, how I had issues working with the team even though she had provided me with a sound condition to pick up my role. I decided to tender my resignation and her silent treatment began to kick in. Think she wanted me to be out of her way as she even pressured me to clear my leaves while serving notice. She even got the 'new girl' in to the office to introduce to the team while I was still serving my notice. A sheer disrespect. She decided to clear her leave on my last day in the office and leaving my exist clearence to others. What a lousy experience!

My ex narc's favourite weapons of choice during the discard were the absent silent treatment and finding supply elsewhere. I'm well rid.

My narcissistic mother is sooo done with me, but since becoming an adult that's all i've ever wanted. This is a blessing in disguise, the great escape! I came off looking bad, she came off looking innocent but i gained my freedom. After 30 plus years of abuse, the rejection was worth the peace i have now!

When you looked into the camera and said, “you’re free”, I got chills. I felt you were speaking directly to me and vindicating my choice to keep the narcissist (my youngest sister) out of my life. Thank you for this video. I have been released from a considerable amount of pain and stress.

Your video is so timely....all of the pointers you listed are exactly what's going on now. After 46 years of marriage, my husband has said 'He's had enough!' What he really means is, I'm no longer the verbal punching bag I was as I've found the path out of the chaotic maze he created. Your videos have given me the insights needed to 'see' what was really going on and to self-protect. What a sad betrayal! I'm free now, onward and upward..... to infinity and beyond (sort of)!! Thanks Dr C, and hugs for you and Gus. 🤗🐶⚘

Exactly what happened prior to needing to get my previous husband to go, he was just so awful and mean the last 4 years. And yes he secured a new and much much much Younger supply FIRST

I've been out of the crazy marriage for over 30 years. The crazy mother passed a couple years ago. I was lucky enough to realize what I was dealing with 10+ years ago. It's nice to watch these and be able to recognize what I dealt with. I know it's painful for so many people and it was for me. I'm far enough beyond it that it makes me smile and shake my head...in recognition and gratitude that it's over. I've found the peace and contentment. Not as early in my life as I'd have liked... but I'll take it later rather than never.

Oh my, this is exactly how it went with my now ex friend. Binge watching your videos in combination with Dr. Ramani helped me to name it and sort things which was just very confusing back then for me. She knew she was loosing me as my survival technic from childhood is to freeze. And she has been so awful lately to me i have no idea how to react so i froze = no supply for her. And hell she tried so much! During one day she tried it all, massive gaslighting, future faking, breadcrumbing, baiting, hoovering all in one nonstop loop avalanche. It was just so awful and confusing...we split and she blame me for being non transparent and difficult to handle. And yep, she iniciated the split which now makes so much sense, as i was sooo unuseful as supply! Thank you very much for helping me solving this puzzle

Just thought I'd BE FREE once he divorced me & left the State. The lies continued . He knew the only way he could continue to hurt me was to destroy any relationship I had with my Beloved daughters MY daughters...,...not his ! And MY Grandchildren. How could I have been so stupid ! Now in my 79th year ,learning to BE FREE by myself. Finding my JOY wherever I can for my last chapter on EARTH

Recently escaped from a narcissistic HOA cult community. My mom warned me about the covert abuse and told me to get out after she passed. The community showed their colors and I ran. It saved my life.

My first experience with a Narcissist really destroyed me. He was my first love. He love bombed me from day one it felt so great. It was the first time I felt love from a man. My dad was in the home but he is also a narcissist so I had 'daddy issues' Once I was hooked on this guy's line the gas lighting and the silent treatment began. I felt like I could not do anything right I was constantly walking on egg shells. I felt like I needed to please him to avoid the silent treatment, threats and emotional abuse. This dude threatened to leave me because I took an additional 15mins to return home with lunch. I was called inconsiderate and told I didn't care about him. I received the silent treatment for days after that. Then on the day he discarded me he told me he met someone better and then berated and insulted me. I was not good enough for him, he was wayyy above my level etc etc etc. I said nothing I left. Later the day he wanted to talk I told him I am ok with the breakup. He was surprised!!!! I collected my remaining stuff and left for good. The mistake I made was the fact that I didn't block him or change my number. The relationship lasted less than a year but he hoovered over me after I was just stuck in limbo. When I finally willed my self to cut ties he stalked me for a bit then raped me. At that point I think I was trauma bonded to him I could not understand why I couldn't just leave when I really wanted to. My body became his to do with as he willed, I would lay there still as a corpse and just go somewhere else in my head. I felt, dead , worthless, cheap, unlovable and good for one thing only. I kept thinking where did the love I felt go too?? Maybe I will feel it again, it's just a matter of time he wil love me. This went on for about 3 years. But my strength was returning in the third year I would fight him off when he raped me. When he realized he was loosing his hold on me he stopped using a condom during the act. When I questioned it he would get upset why can't you have my children! Realizing he wanted to impregnate me to maintain access was the wake up call. I want my children to know love from their dad so they won't feel they need to search for it. I never turned back after that moment but I did spiral into broken relationships with men who just wanted one thing. I met him at 20 broke free at 24, went through a validation seeking period 24-30yrs. I am 31 now and finally realized I need to love myself first. These channels have helped a whole lot I am forever grateful.

So true!!! I use to be very passive it was easier not to argue just agree even if I didn’t agree with her. Now I speak up when we don’t see eye. The comments I get is that we can’t even talk anymore without it ending up in an argument and that’s not healthy. The irony now I’m the unhealthy one because I’m not going along with everything.

I am a narcissist, and I’ve known it for some time. There are A LOT of narcissists out there. My last relationship ended in spectacular fashion, like NASCAR style. engine up in the stands and everything else disintegrated because my partner was also a narcissist and so was her mother! I try to moderate my compulsions and I have made a lot of progress.

A lot of narcissists will admit to what they are, and sometimes even to there target. Of course, claiming that they acknowledge the negative character traits and that they want to change, whether they mean it or not. Ultimately, we are talking about somebody that’s selfish, and not everybody that’s selfish is a narcissist.

The narcissist is in perpetual pain themselves. We are never happy. A lot of the behavior is compulsive, there’s not a lot of forethought that goes into it. A lot of it has to do with unrealistic expectations and the narcissist setting themselves up for failure over and over blowing up relationships that didn’t have to end, or certainly not as badly. I started seeking help with it many years ago and it’s still a challenge.

Cynthia, no. because you’re in that scenario when the narcissist isn’t getting what they want. The other person is finally enforced boundaries or something. Something has changed. Only time I feel good about my partner being distressed what is my latest, as she was a narc too and a real piece of work. Makes me all the more determined to control my own issues moving forward because I’ve seen both ends.

my ex narcissistic husband told me that I was responsible for his adult son fatal overdose. I did not help raise his son. I knew him & found him to be troubled, emotionally immature for 30 years of age. The truth is my ex crushed him & his ideas & creativeness ever since he was a little boy. Perhaps you could do a talk on the effects of narcissistic fathers on their sons & daughters.
