Narcissistic men are the worst husbands, but the best homeboys. Horrible fathers, but obedient sons to their mothers.
Emotionally unavailable at home, but fully present for their male friends.
Careless with their wives, but obsessed with what outsiders think. Avoid responsibility at home, but are the first to help when someone's watching.
They make their family feel alone, but make the world believe they're dependable men.
According to psychology the biggest sign of childhood trauma is trying to convince people who are hurting you to treat you better rather than you walking away.
healing from an avoidant is wild because how the fuck did you end up so focused on understanding their trauma that you forgot to acknowledge how much the relationship was hurting you.
As someone with a medical degree I still cannot get over the fact that they let him get on a plane to another country with a blood clot in his leg. What the hell was his medical team thinking.
Nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. The rage you feel when you realise how much and how long you were taken advantage of. The absolute disgust you feel towards the narcissist that harmed, misled, took advantage, and abused you.

I found the secret to having good mornings every single day.
I switched from coffee to orange juice.
My physician said it’s the Vitamin C and natural sugars.
What I didn’t tell him is that I make it a screwdriver.
