Do you feel like the narcissist is terrorizing you?
Do you want to:
- Stop the pain?
- Heal from hurt and betrayal?
- Restore your self-respect?
- Gain your sanity back?
- Create some boundaries?
- Reach a level of acceptance?
- Attain some inner peace?
Or… Do you still love the narcissist?
Our love can lead us the wrong way. If love is a verb (an action), we can stop loving the narcissist who hurts us (or causes us pain) and start loving ourselves. We don’t have to spend our entire lifetime suffering unloved, unfulfilled, lives without self-respect or self-love. We can have shifts in our thinking, beliefs, and mindsets that will contribute to making better choices (or discovering our choices). Then, with solid recovery and support, healing can happen for us. We can gather courage through connection with others. We can learn, heal, and grow through this experience!
Knowledge is power. So, learning our lessons is vitally important to our future and our children. “Self-work” like working the CODA recovery program or doing individual counseling or therapy
is some of the most important work that we will ever do. Our happiness is on the other side of our self-work and strong steel boundaries. A healed heart and mind can give us some inner peace. We can pass some of our peace, strength and wisdom onto our children. We can move on after we have accepted our freedom, cultivated a mind filled with gratitude, and grieved our losses.
Are You Still Attached to the Narcissist?
If you’re a woman who used to love a narcissistic man, you may still be toxically attached via trauma bonds. You may have an unhealthy attachment to your co-parent, which makes you focus on him more than you do yourself and your kids. You might be comparing your life to his, or watching his life and feeling jealous. Be careful not to get caught up in these behaviors, or you risk an unhealthy obsession that can only bring you down and be a source of more pain. We have to grieve our losses fully and accept necessary endings.

Wisdom says: We need to detach from the narcissist to focus on our child/children.
As you know, not all relationships survive years of pain and betrayals. The fact is: Not all relationships are worth saving. Some relationships actually need to end and dissolve, because it’s unhealthy for both people to continue. Know that: It’s humanly impossible to get a normal, healthy, stable relationship from a personality-disordered person such as a narcissist. NOTE: Our reaction to their abnormal behavior is not the biggest issue, their concerning behavior is the main issue. Is it time to get “real” with yourself about your past relationship? Did you “codependently collapsed” your life into the narcissist’s life and his problems? Did you lose your life when you entered his? Are you ready to step into self-saving solutions? You hold the key!
Wisdom says: Choice is our power, so choose carefully and exercise your power.
What becomes painfully clear is that when we attach to something (like the narcissist), we suffer. Even Buddha taught this principle. Sometimes we consider our relationship like an investment that needs to “payout” and benefit us since we put so much hard work into it. Sometimes we honor vows to our partner over the responsibility to ourselves to self-protect. Rather than admit that the relationship with the narcissist has become unhealthy, we argue with ourselves to stay, citing how many years we have invested in a person. We have built a dream and entangled our lives, families, holidays, and living situations with the narcissist, making it hard to walk away from those precious years of our lives. But, we have to wake up from this dream. In reality, a life with a liar or a “false self” (an image the narcissist creates to lure victims for attention) isn’t real. So, we need to heal!
