Yes. This definitely feels like a drug addiction. Even when I'm screaming inside my head. Trying to remind myself how bad it makes me feel. I still want to hear him be nice to me one more time fully knowing it won't last.

jenomi72 you’re not alone!!! I feel the exact same way! I’m on day 1 (for the thousandth time) 😣. I just want him to be nice, loving, and caring; but it’s not going to last and I have no idea how to show him I’m serious THIS time. I thought I was serious all the other times. I’m just going to do like she says, and when I want him to be nice to me, Im just going to do my damndest to be nice to me instead or phone a friend. I’m wishing all the strength and encouragement you need to stay away. BLESSINGS TO YOU 😘❤️

I desperately clung to that one more beautiful moment, always hoping it would change that he would show me the love i gave him, it drove me literally crazy & in the end he ended it.........over the phone mind you, im still suffering over a year later!!!!

Sean Smith many reasons why people stay in an abusive relationship. Don’t judge someone who had took that long to move on. You don’t know who they are or what their specific obstacles and hurdles someone has to go through. Don’t judge anyone that is in this situation. It’s no different than slut shaming or how some parents blame their own child for being molested by their spouse. Responses like this isn’t helping anyone by judging anyone you really don’t know about.

@@roxanabarrezueta9784 Yes and to know that they really didn't love you. It was all just a manipulative con job to gain access and control over you and your entire life. I don't think we choose them. They have done research on us and then begin to seek us out. Then shower us woth goey compliments. Saying little charming romantic things. Then always there. Like a bad penny, you try to get rid of and its back. Everytime it returns it gets itself mixed deeper into the piggy bank and its harder to root this bad penny out of your life. They either manipulative you into getting married or even sometimes get you pregnant. It's all a game to them in gaining control of your life. So they can bring total chaos, while steeling your self esteem, and totally overtaking your entire being and life. Until you no longer know who you are anymore, and you are unrecognizable to yourself or your family and friends. They think the other person is wonderful and you're just a crazy person. Because you've been living in this alternate reality. This utopian spin zone, gaslighting, madness, living in a house of the twilight zone. You wake up one day realizing you never chose them, they chose you. So you've been trying to keep your vows to them and God. Not wanting to break up your family. And one day you realize you're not even a part of your own family. You're left home alone. While this stranger who you never really knew is enjoying spending time with your family and you don't even exist anymore. Them you are trying to make sense of it all and trying to get your family back. But they look at you like who are you? And this person who's taken over your life is so awesome and they're cold to you because they were told or given the impression you didn't care enough about them to participate in their lives. But the truth is this person pushed you out and gaslighted them, loved bombed them, and just like they entwined and took over your life...did it to your children, grandchildren, and family. They have been manipulated into devaluing you, and casting you aside. So hurt by you thinking you didn't care about them, but everyone was really manipulated, brainwashed into thinking you didn't want to be with them. If it hadn't happened to me I would never believe it myself if you told me.... Now it's trying to get out of the twilight zone ✔️

They 💯 test you to see if you'll back up your boundaries. They try to press them at 1st, steamroll them later. It's not your fault. Some folks are cunning, sly, manipulative and tricky. They want you to feel guilty. Read about the F.O.G. of coercive abuse (fear, obligation, and guilt). It keeps you in the guilt / obligation cycle even if they get scary. It's not about blame - does it even matter who's fault it is? Assigning blame is not the same as finding a solution. Look, you are finding solutions. You are already taking responsibility for your future. You have and are making changes in the dynamic by learning and applying what you now know. That is amazing and that is where the real gold is, here. You are using your power for good! Thank you! You are learning so much and will be well armed now against these tricky people. So you'll see it earlier and be better able to manage around them. Some people lack the benefit of insight. They lack the ability to look inward or reflect on how their behavior effects others, as effects the world around them. So they lose the ability to change it for the better. Sometimes it's because they are terrified of the shame that may accompany that. Or they just can't take it. It can feel impenetrable strong in the moment, like a rubber & kevlar vest with the word "you" on it so anything they get accused of or criticized for or corrected about bounces back in blame form aimed at whoever lobbed it their way in the 1st place. But it's an illusion because, over time, this tactic alienates people and isolates us from them. The same people we need and depend on, rely on for whatever reason, for the roles we expect or need them to fill in our lives. Co-worker, teammate, boss, boyfriend, sister...whatever. We have a picture in our minds of what that should look like (in an ideal world, maybe, right?) And when reality hits us in the face with a different picture or image of who they are instead, we get to decide how to take it or put the camera down. Right? But when you can see that and realize, like you have - that oh - this may be an inappropriate choice. This person isn't cut out for this role at this time in their lives. Oops. My bad. One thing learning all this has taught me is to look at where I might be holding expectations of others - like a general expectation that everybody's definition of a decent person matches mine or a reasonable, sane human being matches my picture of what that looks like. Seems standard... But it can get complicated when others disagree. For instance - I've got kids. They're young. It doesn't seem appropriate to me to use swear words in front of them. But to somebody else, words may only have the power you give them, so they might drop F-bombs no matter who's sensitive ears may be in the room. Suddenly Johnny Kindergartener's coming home from the principal's office for trouble over bad language. Oops. It's a habit. It seems harmless at the time... But by the time little Johnny gets in trouble it's so ingrained that it's tough to stop swearing around the children... A go to coping mechanism for daily stresses. Even though it does us no good, even when it is clearly causing harm or damage. Like an addiction - the habit feels entrenched. It's destructive, but some people can't use the word "fudge" or "shniekies" instead. They don't think it's worth it. Or they're too shamed to make the effort so they make it like it's no bog deal... Slippery slope. Better to be strong enough, like you, to see that slope and recognize you're on it and don't want to be and jump off or go climb back towards the stairs by getting out. It took me a while to figure out that boundaries aren't for or against the offending person. They're not an ultimatum against them. You don't even have to verbalize a boundary to them (and I wouldn't recommend telling narcs your boundaries unless you're ready for that test). Even without leaving a relationship, you can tell yourself "I don't like it when X uses bad language around the children, so any time X does that, instead of arguing with him about how damaging that is, I'm going to leave the room, quietly. Or step out of the house for a minute with the kiddo. If X is s going to use bad language, we'll drop everything and simply walk into a separate room where we can't hear it." If you do that enough, the person either gets the hint and changes behavior when their audience disappears immediately and consistently any time they do the bad thing... Or you find yourself changing rooms so often that it gets too disruptive to accomplishing even the simplest goals and it just doesn't even make sense any more to keep pretending even to yourself (I've heard it called "taking hopium) that you and X share the value of raising children in a swesr-less home. That's 1 sort of innocent exemple, but when I realized I could walk out of the room quietly without making a stink or throwing a fit anytime X swore - without starting an argument about whether or not swearing in front of children is " right", "decent", or "acceptable" way to raise them, that could change or effect things for a different outcome. The boundary was for me. The boundary was about me for me - how could I handle things sanely that seem insane to me? It wasn't saying "If you swear again in front of the kids, I'm telling the therapist!" It wasn't a threat against them, which only makes people defensive anyway. If I don't appreciate a behavior, I have choices in how I respond to it, but I don't get to control other people's choices or behavior even by explaining all the valid research that swearing in front of children regularly sets them up for a particular trajectory in life that may not be as positive as we want for them. Because some people are more interested in absolving themselves of their own responsibility or abdicating it to others they can then blame later if things go wrong, so they don't have to do the work of changing. But you are becoming the butterfly, now. Your flower has bloomed. Your life is taking winged flight. You saw where things weren't working and you stopped blaming so you could focus on making change. That is creative and strengthening. You are creative, compassionate toward yourself and whoever you may have been blaming (the "X" person), and you are strengthening by these new choices. Good on you! And congratulations. You are doing the work and you're bound to reap the reward of a life closer to the one you want for your future than the one you are letting go of. Yes!!! 👍 🎉 Thank you for the inspiration! Keep up the great work!

Whenever i get silence i listen to my past, i close my eyes and feel empathy for my self. I have no regret. I am not sad. But i am surely wounded. Life is beautiful. Live it. Dont drag it.

cj bear thanks for message. I still struggle with cognitive dissonance. There are times where I remember when my ex was so sweet & kind, but then I remember he has at least 5 different personalities & only ONE of them is nice. So yeah I counteract the good memories by remembering the bad ones. And those text messages I saved are a big help....approximately 10,000 text messages of straight bullshit. The good news is that he is the only narc I’ve ever dealt with & when I think of my exes prior to him, I remember how normal & stress free they were. So I’m hopeful for future because I had better in the past. So the only thing I’m focusing on right now is catering to my own needs. I learned a lot from this relationship & I thank God I went through it. I realized I was too trusting & too empathetic but not anymore. Anyway, I hope that you a great journey in your healing process as well. You should keep a journal of all the bad things your ex has ever done to you & whenever you get weak & slip into cognitive dissonance read your journal out loud to yourself! You don’t need saved text messages to remind yourself of the abuse..trust me you don’t.

Any attempts to obtain employment and leave were secretly sabotaged to keep me controlled and dependent. Anyone looking from outside the home saw her as a "wonderful person" and I was always made to be the villian. REALLY EVIL PERSON AND HER EXTENDED FAMILY!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈

I was done with crying and couldn't cry until I finally finished this video. Took me 10 mins and I cried, couldn't hold my tears. I feel like a failure for not taking this guy out of my mind. Deep down I knew he was not for me because he would always put me down, always angry at me and sometimes even belittles me. And then I would think about the fun things we did together and say to myself that probably it wasn't that bad. I really desperately wanted him to change, but he told me he will not. I'm in college, work, no kids, and feel like a failure for chasing after this guy when I know he is not good enough for me. Sending him text messages at night telling him how I feel. But like you said it's a drug addiction. It is hard to let go, but I'm going to make the effort to change and love myself first. I really hope it works.

Lily Lily I knew someone in this situation, give each other a month apart, no phone calls, no texts, no looking at photos of you two together, and no seeing each other, after a month and possibly a few more weeks, the fog of this obsession will dissipate and you’ll start to think more rationally about the situation which will help you make better decisions, in that month just busy yourself as much as possible, occupy your mind on other things and work on your self-esteem by taking care of yourself with exercise, healthy foods and so forth, just be selfish this time, I gave this advice to someone years ago and it worked for her

Out of all of the people I’ve been watching who describe narcissism and codependency and abuse, I feel as though you have been personally picked by the universe for people like me. I can’t thank you enough for your words of wisdom, empowerment, and guidance. I am in the healing stages of a 4 1/2 year relationship. The relationship ended a couple months ago, and the pain felt never ending. The breakup was so harsh and was the biggest betrayal I’ve ever experienced in my present life. It wasn’t until I started coming across educational videos and started that process of learning that I came across you. I believe the absolute best thing you can do after a seriously abusive breakup is educate yourself. I’m on the path to self love and healing and I’m never looking back. I stared doing things for myself that I never thought I was capable of. I’m reading books on codependency, I’m painting again, I’m working out, hanging with friends, etc. For anyone else going through the worst pain of your life, please know this: 1) it’s not forever 2) it’s not your fault 3) it gets better. Even though the relationship wasn’t real to the narcissist, it was real to me. I’m grieving the person I “believed” with every single ounce of my heart was this magical and amazing person. I’m grieving the hope I gave our future. And most importantly, I’m forgiving myself, for allowing myself to go through all of that. I’m a Scorpio, and my intuition is out of this world. I always knew it wasn’t my forever relationship, but trauma bonding is a b*tch. I truly feel like people like you who help educate the world and make it a better place are what I aspire to be. I’ve always wanted to help people. Maybe this will open the door for me to become a coach or counselor and help others in need. The point is, I’m focusing on the positive. So many lessons have been learned, and so many opportunities have been placed before me. My path is clear, my head is clear, and finally my heart is clear. I’m never looking back, only forward ❤️

3 yrs in a emotionally abusive relationship, the last straw was him waking up yelling at me for 3 hours! That night I decided he would never change, he hated me and my kids and blamed me for all his failures. The next morning I packed his things while he was at work, when he got home my sons loaded his truck...of course there were words but I stood strong and was determined to end this so that I could have a peaceful life. When he backed out of the driveway I felt a heavy weight lift off my shoulders, my son woke up the next morning and said "my mom has her life back and I have her back, I know it was hard but you made the right decision". It was sooo hard to get to that point, but once it was done my life is mine, it's peaceful and I can go anywhere, do anything, anytime without being accused of crazy things! I'm 55 and I still want to enjoy the rest of my life with or without someone by my side. I'm moving forward, I have gardening, crafts, and home projects to keep me busy, I'm learning new things everyday. Everyday I'm healing, everyday is a new adventure. God is so good, I'm praying, listening to sermons...feeling loved again ❤

You can learn to manage ADHD, speaking from experience. It is easy to be controlled my ex narc controlled everything and I got help and stoped giving her narcissistic supply and she discarded me after 24 years. Left me with my 13 year old daughter. I now had to learn to do everything, hardest year of my life but I’m getting stronger everyday and now have joy and support not from a dating relationship. From healthy support groups, clubs, and church. You have to do the work. I literally cried for a year, 7 months everyday at one point went to the ER thought I was dying of cancer or something b/c of weight loss. ADHD medication was killing me got off it and use practical therapy and modalities. Meditation and exercise and lots of retraining my mind and practices.

10 years, being in this relationship, the only man I have ever loved more than anything, he's an alcoholic, he is emotionally and physically abusive at times. We just got our own place a few months ago, and I thought it would make things so much better, it would make him happy finally having a home, so I brought him a car, I got him a job through my father and I got us a house, and what do I get I get made to feel guilty for wanting to be a mom and having a family, I get emotionally abused and called names and I get metal objects thrown at my head, and I still want to go back. I just want to go home and be home, and gave him give me a hug and hold me, and kiss me and tell me I'm everything, and he loves me and his sorry. It's so messed up I feel this way, I left our house, took a bag of clothes and just left, it truly is an addiction, I always said he was my drug, I was addicted to him and I meant it it, I can't imagine loving anyone else as much as I love him, but I know it is possible, I know this, I just need to make it so, I need to leave for good, not 2 years like I have before, for good. I am 30 I want a child, I will never be a mum as long as I stay with him, I have to accept what he is taking from me, what he holding me back from💔🥺

As I embark on this journey of leaving this relationship of 8 years... the last 5 as his “only” caregiver after a stroke...I will say it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I am an empath, codependent, martyr. I know the areas I need to work on. Yet... .I am full of quilt and I am on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I know I HAVE to do this.. because I am dying under the criticism, the critiques and condemnation. Nothing I do has ever been enough or good enough. I walk on egg shells, waiting to upset him about the smallest thing. I have been watching these videos for about 3 months and slowly I am getting my life back. To tell you how sick I was... I did not eat until he was ready to eat, even if it was 10 at night. My first move was to go to bed when I was ready, to eat when I was hungry, to do things that make me happy without asking permission. Needless to say ... he is very unhappy and saying I am putting him through hell. I am currently looking for a home and I want a divorce. I have seen an attorney... why do I sometimes feel like I am the bad guy?

I tracked him down and found out he was always going to sleep in another woman’s house with me thinking my husband is always at work for night shift. You can contact this great hacker who helped me found out the truth about my husband at darkwebprohack(at)gmail com or Whats app +19087998357 or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into his phone without even touching his phone.I have enough evidence against my husband and I am thinking of Filing for divorce.I want advice if I should give him another chance or let go ?

This is exactly what I needed right NOW! I just had my fiance start moving out of our house two days ago because hes emotionally and verbally abusive. My divorce of 7 years was easier than this break up of 9 months and I've been wondering why. But now I know why i feel like i cant let go even though i know i should.

This is a good one! I am currently staying in a domestic violence shelter in Tennessee, and I'm trying to share your videos with the other women.... Whether they listen or not--- I do! I sincerely appreciate these videos. I explained to my boyfriend what love is by reading him 1st Corinthians 13. ( His reply was "You can't just read some book and then take it as gospel truth." Yes. Those were his exact words lol) I told him that when you break it down line by line, everything that he does is actually opposite what love is! ( Love is patient -he is not. love is kind- he is not. love is long suffering- he is not. love keeps no record of wrongdoing- he does. etc) Then I looked up the definition of trauma bonded and and it is a perfect match!

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. I Corinthians 13:4‭-‬7 NKJV

Love this - so enlightening. I would like to say that I don't think one needs to lack self esteem or be codependent to have a trauma bond. Like you said, if we haven't learned how to establish boundaries...or trust our intuition...or if someone is lying/manipulating us...we can fall victim to this. I think we can just be inexperienced sometimes and fall for it. My ex would say some mean things...or just flip reality on me out of the blue....but she'd apologize for it the next day as I was contemplating the situation. I genuinely thought she was just working through problems, and was sorry....so I gave her another chance. Soon, the jealousy/abuse/nitpick grew more frequent, while the apologies were further and further apart. It takes a while to realize you're not happy. Once you recognize they aren't making you happy, you leave. Staying in these relationships for a long time...yah, that's a co-dependent thing. Sometimes you just don't know until it's too late...sometimes you want to give the other person the benefit of the doubt.

So i made excuses and took it, until I became depressed and started having anxiety attacks and just straight up feeling like I was going insane. I’ve tried to leave many times, but I’m scared and ik he’s gonna show up to my house and still try to talk to me. Idk what to do bc I’m ready to get out. Someone please help.

@vidyadharUppaluru 4 года назад
Because it’s feminine nature to love bad boys... boys you know are bad, emotionally unavailable, lying, deceitful. Yet you only go for him. You ignore the nice guy coz he is boring. Everything has a cost benefit ratio. Most women pick the bad boy and get butt hurt. And then come to the channels asking why. Asking to heal.
@melaniepoitras5684

I am five months post-separation and I'm still dealing with so many different negative emotions on a daily basis. Mostly (and surprisingly for me, because I am usually very sweet-natured, if I do say so myself), it comes down to anger. I find it so unfair that I am left to pick up the pieces, heal with the help of a therapist and struggle to understand how this could have happened to me. While he is probably happily leading a normal life with someone else, and I am long forgotten. It's hard not to let the bitterness consume me.
@StephanieLynCoaching
@StephanieLynCoaching 6 лет назад
Mélanie Poitras Believe me when I tell you I completely understand!! That is the unfortunate side effect of being abused is you are left to pick up the pieces because you are a normal healthy capable person and someone who is narcissistic or emotionally abusive is not. They will never move on and live a happy life Regardless of what their life entails because they don’t know what happiness, true happiness is. I think the anger you feel could possibly be sadness that you have had to go through everything that you’ve gone through. Sadness that you have to heal and pick up these pieces. It’s definitely not an easy thing to do and sometimes when we feel anger it’s really just sadness that we feel that we have to go through these tough lessons in life.. but these tough lessons while hard at times does make us smarter and healthier! All the best to you!

@AbiGail Agguire They need to communicate what their Standards or Boundaries are so You can see if it alligns with YOURS. Marriage is a PARTNERSHIP. EQUALLY sharing EVERYTHING. He won't leave coz Your Leaving Boundary is not firm ENOUGH. He knows YOUR behaviour and they manipulate you in falling back into their arms. They feel Good and thrives on your Co-Dependency. Only You Know what You EXPECT from him and ONLY You CAN Demand RESPECT. It works Both ways. Never 2nd guess What you put into your MARRIAGE. Go with Your gut FEELING. Stop the ABUSE by making him aware of Your needs too.

I tell my husband to leave and he won't/ he has filled all the bedrooms up with his stuff and took over our daughter's room, so all 3 kids are in my bedroom. He tells me I am an idiot and a moron. When we married I wanted to stay home with the children and he was all for this, so I always stayed home and not work, but now he resents paying the bills and makes it sound like he is giving me that money (but it is not going to me really-I am paying bills) tells me if I get a job he will quit his and stay home (and drink all day) and if I leave he will take away my house ( I inherited it from my Dad and this is my childhood home)...I am so stuck. I pray God delivers me.

I'm learning that's their game. It's cliche emotional abuse from people with this type of mental illness...varying in degrees of severity. (Narcissistic Personality Disorder). We get trapped because obviously we aren't 100% healthy. Thankfully we are here and want to heal. I have a new mantra that is helping me dismiss his abusive words... "He's mentally ill" No more trying to understand, change or reason with him.

Been in and out of a relationship with the same person for 10 yrs. I kept going back knowing how much he’d hurt me emotionally, but like you said it’s like a drug and you just want them to love you and then they say the right things and your right back not holding them accountable for what they’ve done. I’ve finally found the inner strength to leave, more so he quit talking to me which is probably the best thing that could have happened but it stings and hurts like hell and I just want to pick up that phone or text him knowing he’s not good for me, but this time I haven’t and I won’t. I’ve been hard on myself blaming why didn’t I leave sooner but I’m fighting and trying to practice self love. Thank you for this video, it really validates what I’m feeling.. ❤️

Another fantastic video - I needed this so much! Thank you Stephanie this applies to my situation 100%. I am a month out of the third break up of a trauma bond (8 month experience). I am a widow and this new man came into my life when I was so vulnerable - he knew that and preyed on me. It definitely feels like a drug addiction - I have withdrawals for him & how he made me feel. Because I was so sad when he came into my life, he made me so happy (or so I thought). Only to leave me over stupid little reasons, then we get back together. As I said it's the 3rd time now and I know I have to close this door. Even though I still want to be with him down deep, he's not real as you said. Thank you so much keep up these videos they help so much!

Thank you for all your videos ❤️❤️ You’re truly opening my eyes to what I’ve been blind to. Giving me courage to take a stand and walk away. I jumped into a relationship after my divorce of 13 years and I truly feel I should have spent time learning to love myself. I’ve been in this relationship 2 years and watched the man I thought I was with change rapidly. We use to be able to talk but now he gives me the silent treatment or tells me I’m picking a fight if I disagree with him or want to discuss our issues. He tells me I can’t ask questions because he doesn’t owe me explanations for just random stuff. Then it’s starts a fight and he blames me, because I should just accept what he says and keep going. It’s an endless hamster wheel of promises to change and be better with no results. This last year of our relationship has taken a toll on me and at this point I just need to learn to let go. My kids deserve the best version of me, which is why I left my toxic ex, and even though the idea of being alone scares me I feel like I have to stand up for myself if I don’t want to live an unhappy life.
