What Your Narcissistic Ex Couldn't Do - 5 Standards of Healthy Relationships! 

Goodwill is essential as well.

What does God say about empathy? It's deep. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

You outline these things, which are essentially the ingredients of unconditional love, really well in this new video. Thanks Stephanie!

​@@mariah3654is good will necessarily the same as heartfelt compassion?

Thank you!

So refreshing to hear that healthy relationships exist beyond narcissistic entanglements especially for those who get repeatedly involved ~ thank you for sharing 😎😘

How did you find the healthy relationship? Did you date multiple people before deciding on one?

As long as the fire stays lit after the Limerence

@@texaslovelylady I did date multiple people before I had found her. I was alot more selective this time around and looked for the warning signs and if I saw any of them, I walked away, without thinking twice. Set high standards for myself and what I wanted but not so high to expect perfection out of someone.

What do you need from your parent(s) that you aren't getting? What does your parent need from you that you aren't giving them? Hopefully your parent(s) are working on themselves as well, like you are, and you can talk and have a healthy, meaningful relationship soon. I'm realizing that I'm coming from a line of toxic family relationships. Not to make it a competition or blame game... just want to let you know from experience that there is a good chance that your parent(s) is suffering/hurting from your broken relationship way more than you are. They are coming from a place of wound and self blame that you can't imagine unless you're been through the same thing as a parent. So please give them some grace. Do you have someone that can show them this video?

I'm proud of you❤

Would you want to talk to them after they watched this video? Maybe send this to them and ask them to watch it and ask them to please not respond right away. Ask them to give themselves some time to gathering some meaningful thoughts on this video pertaining to your relationship and ask if they'd be willing to come together and have an adult conversation about your problems. I don't think that you would have made your post here if you didn't hope that you could have a good relationship with your parent(s). Do you truly respect your parent(s) as a person? If you don't, they can feel that no matter what you say. Like Stephanie said that is number one. If you dont respect them, it probably isn't a good time for you to reach out to them. Your parents are human, with flaws, insecurities and probably poor relationship/communicstion skills just like any other. This is going to be rough. You both have to figure out where your shortcomings are and to want to improve themselves, for things to improve between you guys. I hope that you don't give up. I dont think that it is ever too late for a parent and child to change to have a healthy relationship. Realize just bc you are the one making a healthy effort and reaching out, doesn't mean that you are saying that it is your fault. If your relationship improves, if they grow as a person, does it really matter if they feel that way right away? You know the truth and hopefully they will eventually. Ik it probably sucks to feel like you are the adult one, but honestly you may be the more emotionally mature one. They probably weren't shown or taught how to have a healthy relationship. Remember mutual respect. Good luck!

Yes please!!!!

It's exactly the same thing as she's said here!

@marie-lynn Omg this sounds like my husband like my life right now and I’m only 5yrs in married. What’s NPD and BPD?

Narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. If you’re truly going through this all I can say is run. It doesn’t get better. You can’t get those years back and it will literally suck the life out of you. It’s just not worth it.

@@marie-lynn mine was diagnosed with BPD two years ago was medicated but he stopped taking his pills and switched to medicinal stuff but I’m Not happy and haven’t been for a while he acts out when things don’t go his way and it scares me to leave.

Do it scared then. You gotta help yourself out cuz he ain’t gonna

Yes, I've been in a toxic relationship for nearly 9 years. It's been so bad and my own mental and emotional health has taken such a toll. Get away from them and say no to them Don't let him come back cause nothing changes and it just gets worse.

I'm truly sorry

@@BrianHornak that's really sweet. Thank you!

100% agree. They kill a piece of you off

​@@aleksandramakuch5133I get it, trust me I do, but you're doing yourself and your new partner a disservice. Don't let them change you or live in your head. Then you're letting them in your mind to ruin your life permanently.

@@hurricaneaquatics True. Agree, it’s just very difficult to not ruminate, because 30 years is 30 years wiped out. I often wonder how one can fully trust again in a new relationship… For now I am cured of the idea

@@aleksandramakuch5133 I totally get it, 29 years here and haven't began the process yet, but going to. I still ruminate some, I think it's probably normal when someone you love lied to you for so long and now you don't know who to trust or believe. The thing I keep thinking about that gets me through is that I know this is a very rare situation we're in. The chance of us getting back into another narcissistic relationship is very small if you pay attention to the red flags up front. I saw many of them and I'm sure you did too. Hang in there and know that you'll feel like a different person again soon.

@@hurricaneaquatics that’s the problem! We ignored red flags, when your feelings and empathy kicks in for another human being you ‘love’ you let a lot of this slide by. What guarantee do you have, You won’t make that mistake again? Scary….

This irritates me as well… fog smoky mirrors 🪞… assumptions Passive aggressive & backhanded compliments… Communication is imperative for clarity & balanced connection

Sounds totally fine for me.

yep, for me it's too low compared to other ppl's videos as well

Dont

Stop being thirsty.. You have no idea what she's like when living together.
